Yes ampoules is correct as I said above.

Ok you drop those and I'll drop mine

Geeez, I guess, you both need some ampoules with a special brewing, hm?

That would be for me, he's going to have a bomblet instead.

Some of the stuff served in the pubs here can be comparable

Why then does the p47 D have a supercharger lever in the throttle quadrant that never moves?

I have flown the jug at high altitude a ton... just tonight I was at 35k feet and was not able to attain anymore than 30 inches of MP. That was with a leaned pitch setting to about 80%. I even tried it at max RPM and it didnt help.

That's more or less how it works actually. You were getting sea-level manifold pressure at 35k feet, so it's not bad at all
I think this is the so called critical altitude, an altitude that when exceeding it the engine can't maintain sea-level pressure values anymore.

Edit: Seems Azimech beat me to it

Hi!

Thank you a lot for your active work for developing this extraordinarily truthfull historical flight simulator! When I was a young boy reading everything I could get in my hands about aircraft I could only dream about seeing some of these classical planes and now with this sim - a miracle! - I can set my hands on their controls right on my desk to take them to a virtual test flight myself!

In my life I have since my boyhood studied and collected knowledge about military history and especially from the field of aviation. Later this hobby contributed to my profession related to firearms and special ballistics product development. In this environment I met devoted old veterans and air force and army and industry weaponry experts and listened closely to their fascinating experiences. However, not until with this online IL2 sim I got personally check the old pilots' tales about how to fly a bomber or recon plane under threat of intercepting human piloted enemy planes!

Surprisingly, I ended to make very similar maneuvers with this sim as those veteran pilots frequently had told about, like making 'scissor turns' agains aggressive opponents or hiding in clouds or diving down to treetops. Only now after personally flying with and against experienced IL sim virtual pilots I have really come to understand what those old veterans exactly meant with these maneuvers! So it really appears to me that the planes and their properties as well as the environment of this IL sim closely resemble those of the originals during war!


Almost Realistic But Not Quite..!

Here are a couple of minor cases related to proper realistic IL sim bomber work I may have not remembered to lucidly enough report earlier:

1. Bomb SALVO settings.
2. Fuse settings.
3. Missing bomb damage after pilot hit.

Nr 1 means that this otherways truthful sim has a queer property of dropping bombs as pairs. I guess that we are rather unanimous that back in those days bomb effect was with all efforts maximized. It would have been unprecedentedly foolish to waste bomb effect by dropping bombs as pairs into the same spot! Luckily, there already is a fix available for this IL sim 'idiot pairs of bombs' dilemma so it should not be very difficult to set correct with some future patch, I hope!

Nr 2 means of course that for every mission bombs were funished with a fuse best suited for that particular mission. Again, bombs were never carried to be wasted in those days! It was crew's choice to say the last word about fuse that would be best for the mission. Pilot select should be the case with this sim, too, if we wish to further keep the sim historically accurate instead of becoming just another fancy game?

Nr 3 is the IL sim curious feature that bombs released before but exploding after flak or enemy interceptor has hit the bomber pilot do not cause any damage. In reality, bombs of course were quite as dangerous even after the aircraft that dropped them was hit - I guess we all agree about this?

Wartime Photo Appendix: Previously unpublished pics from the 1941-1944 Finnish - Carelian front that I scanned from a Finnish artillery sergeant-major veteran's photo album. There was also a wartime finding pic in the album about unknown Soviet people gathered around a table in Karelo-Finskoi SSR.

I have put wartime photo copies about aircraft earlier to threads:

Please don't. This is a family forum!
