You can't alter fuel load in a quick mission yet I don't think.
The mission is my level bombing practice mission, but should be ok for engine practice.

Thanks Dutch. I did mangage to get the Blenheim into the air last night using a simple mission I made in FMB. Yours looks like a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to giving it a go too. Cheers!

Pleasure mate.

The more chaps we get up in Blenheims the better I'll like it!

There already has been a huge increase in the number of blenhiems in the ATAG server normally it was a few ATAG guys and occasionally I would take one up, congrats and getting people to fly this craft not many realised how fun it was.

I took it up on the open server last night for one hop.

Flew over to France to attack an airfield for grins.

Started seeing damgage reports on my screen. Looked over and noticed my right engine was missing.

Never heard or felt a thing.

Still a ways to go with the sim I'm afraid.

Yeah there is no sound currently for flak hits which is a pain, especially if you fly with no damage data. It's quite something to suddenly lose control and look behind to see your entire tail section has been blown off with out a single sound

Hey Gang: I think I have missed this thread: Dont know why ??

anyway I have been working with the Blenheim for about 2 months now. Recently I have developed a profile for my joystick (Saitek X52) to fly the rear turret . Tried it last night in a Blenheim flown by "Rush" and it worked perfect. Kind of a hoot riding in someone elses aircraft. Never could find a 109 (never can find one when you need em ?) But I believe this will be much more effective than A.I. Using DeWild and NO!!!! tracer. As 90% of shots will be to the front. Wait till thye start to shoot and go for a pilot kill or engine. See "turret" post on ATAG.

Next will be a profile for bomb aimer. Which will leave the pilot to concentrate on speed and level flying. This aircraft has more potential that we think. However I need participants to work these profiles out (like pilots) So anytime you see me in the ATAG servers or comms give me a holler and lets get competent with all these features
