Heheh, nice video! It seems you've got some cool blokes in yer crew
 .A couple of Questions, however: a) What are the first names/nicknames of your crew? b) Didn't you set up compasses and stuff @ take-off? I'm not really familiar with the blen, so maybe it's not even necessary... c) You seem to be rough on your throttle! Go easy, man!  d) You flew a little banked most of the time. Is this a certain blen specialty? e) Crossing tower bridge below street level is the new black! You should know!  f) What did the CO say after the flight? Ahh, soo much possibilities in this sim, and sooo many bugs (the Radio contact to tower is directly, and gravely missed in this vid...)! No really, nice video, I like those little roleplaying intermezzi, preferrably comedic in nature ^-^ Last edited by Redroach; 05-26-2011 at 05:34 AM.

[QUOTE=Redroach;289096]Heheh, nice video! It seems you've got some cool blokes in yer crew
.A couple of Questions, however: a) What are the first names/nicknames of your crew? Ehh, none so far, sorry! b) Didn't you set up compasses and stuff @ take-off? I'm not really familiar with the blen, so maybe it's not even necessary... Set up the compass!? - I wouldn't know how! - And, anyway, I have a highly competent navigator with me, as you could see... c) You seem to be rough on your throttle! Go easy, man! What!? - I was really babying it! - Above 65% and the engines are toast. Not easy... d) You flew a little banked most of the time. Is this a certain blen specialty? Hmmm, I guess I might not have trimmed out my aircraft correctly. e) Crossing tower bridge below street level is the new black! You should know! I'll do that in a He-111 next time round... f) What did the CO say after the flight? <expletives deleted>!!! Ahh, soo much possibilities in this sim, and sooo many bugs (the Radio contact to tower is directly, and gravely missed in this vid...)! No really, nice video, I like those little roleplaying intermezzi, preferrably comedic in nature ^-^[QUOTE] Thanks!

that's how it works, at least in the spit/hurri - I don't know about the blen's specialties, though Sadly, I've found that video after I nagged around with this for a long time. And it's still highly awkward to use, especially without TrackIR. Not that it works like a breeze with TIR, though.

Nice vid as always Frey, The bloke who owned my local pub was a navigator in Blenhiems based in England then later the pacific during the war, "whispering death" he said they called them, sadly he passed away about 2 years ago, still miss having a beer and listening to his stories on a quiet sunday. On a side note he hated Winston Churchill with a passion, told me WC addressed them from the back of a lorry telling them they couldnt return to Australia to fight the japanese as they were needed in Europe, he never forgave WC for that, though he eventually ended up in the pacific anyway.

Every time I watch one of your videos I want to buy this game.
Thanks for making them, it's pushed getting a new rig higher on my list of priorities.

Great vids warts and all. I like your commentary the best. To know your thoughts in flight a real blast. I think you may be in a bit of trouble if the house you almost hit when you ditched(in the last vid)) belongs to some one important. You could have killed his gardener or worse his prized hound.

Great video, as usual!
I was surprised you didn't look at engine temperatures! Those are the ones that get me most of the time, and I have to look at them all the time. They're above the fuel cocks, and should be between 200-250. I'm always adjusting the radiator to keep them in that interval, and if you switch to coarse pitch, the lower RPMs will have an impact on engine temperature! Same thing when you're on approach, the engine might get a bit too cold and run rough, etc. I also tend to keep carburettor heat at 2/3 for no particular reason, other than I thought once I was doing great and the engine blew up anyway (it was full open). On the other hand, I never really notice engine oil temps. Can they overheat/underheat? Great video!
