Actually not true, density decreases less at altitude on warm maps. At least up to 10000m we have a linear reduction of temperature. I've tested Crimea and OnlineMT once, and while Crimea had higher pressure at sea level, it was pretty much the same at 10000m.
I guess the problems with the inaccuracy of high altitude level bombing stems from the fact that the atmospheres are not standard and thus sea level pressure doesn't give you IAS = TAS. You can get the correct TAS from the yellow gauges in the cockpit off view, if you want to do your bombing accurate down to the last km/h, you should memorise the speeds you attain with certain power settings on certain maps at certain altitudes. |

Thanks a lot for the quick answers!

![]() Thanks a lot for the TAS-charts! And also the smartphone-utility is very interesting, although I do not have such a new mobile phone. ![]() In fact I made such a utility for the X52pro display myself, here are some pictures: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This little application does all the mathematics 'behind the scenes' and computes the bombsight-angle, also wind and the resulting side-slip (bombsight correction left/right) is taken care of. The angles derived by this tool are quite accurate, I am just wondering if the formula (2% every 300m or 1000ft) I use to derive TAS (speed over ground in fact regarding wind) is 'good enough' for airspeed is the most critical parameter here. That is why I posted my question here, I thought that maybe someone with a deeper insight into the games functions could tell me how IL2 actually derives TAS... Again, thanks a lot for your answers!

You don't need to =/- target altitude in the bombsite altitude setting. Lofte 3D operation http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...26prmd%3Dimvns Theres plenty of videos out there for Allied's and Axis sights on google. . Last edited by KG26_Alpha; 02-10-2012 at 08:10 PM. |

Thats indeed some nice reading Galway, thanks for posting!

Original language: Dazu muss von der abgelesenen Höhe (Höhe über NN) die Höhe des Ziels abgezogen werden. Translation: This must be subtracted from the read height (height above sea level) the level of the target. ![]() I love google-tranlations ![]() OK, just as I thought. Target-altitude is, more or less, important for precise bombing and should be subtracted from own altitude. Thanks you for helping! Alberich |

Finished, you can download the utility here:
http://forum.sturmovik.de/index.php/topic,352.0.html (german language forums) and here: http://www.skiesoffire.org/phpBB3/vi...hp?f=21&t=2725 (registration to our forums with email-adress necessary) But back to topic: Is there nobody who knows in detail how IL-2 1946 computes TAS? Really nobody? |
