Ju-88 joyride through the Vallée de la Risle to Le Havre - youtube video by me

More Luftwaffe flying this time...

I never went up in the Junkers Ju-88 before, so it was quite a daunting prospect. I still haven't learnt about bombing, but I thought a little joyride could be nice. The landscapes around the Seine are so beautiful, so why not give them a low-level visit? I also like Le Havre: it is really cool to see a big city draped over hills like that.

The Ju-88 is a pleasure to fly. Very powerful, but you still feel a lot of heft and inertia in the flight model. The downwards view from the pilots position is a total joy, but I can imagine it would feel rather exposed in real life! - I am not keen at all on the stiff sitting next to me: strange choice by the modelling team I must say!

If anybody make a nice bombing mission with the Ju-88 I'd be happy to try it out!

Anyway, enjoy. Comments always very welcome!

1.If you were going sight seeing why take the bombs.You might be able to use less runway if you lose the bombs before takeoff.

2.Do the clouds popup in real time or is it part of the jerky video capture?

I like the challenge of taking off heavy!

If you see pop up then it cannot be blamed on the video capture for sure...

[Freycinet]

Oh, btw, and I think the exterior bombs look cool!

[Troll2k]

With the bombs loaded you scare all the guys down at the pub.

good as always, I'm saving up for a pc, to play this game . . .

nice nice nice!


every time you post a video I hear this kid screaming and pointing, "See! It works! I toldja so! It works!"

My main rig was sadly 'heavily spiked' in the weekend with a power surge, so I am going through 'major withrawal symptoms' while I claim insurance.
Luckily, I am still in touch in the forum with my laptop.

Even though this was a 'Junkers joyflight' it showed you how much potential COD has. The Ju88 looks like it is a delight to fly (even with a load of external bombs)? You certainly have got a lot of members interested in flying the aircraft with this vid.

I am now looking at a 'Ju88 mini campaign' - see what you have done!

The very sad feature of the vid was the poor engine sounds, which hopefully will be fixed-up very soon. Can't you imagine the proper 'throaty roar' of a Junkers engine, inside and outside the cockpit?

Well, the sound engine is being overhauled, so with all the grief the developers have been getting I hope they'll get it right this time! Jumo growl on the way, hopefully...

Thanks for your kind words.
