Flying and Skip Bombing the Blenheim on Cockpit Instruments

[ATAG_knuckles]

Carb Heat = you will only need this above 5,500. at that level your engines will start to cut out. Apply a few clicks of Carb Heat until the rattle stops

Mixture = not sure this is really accurate or working. On full size I use mixture at around 5,000 to 6,000. At that altitude the air starts getting thin so your dont need as much fuel in your carb so you "Lean" out the mixture.

Prop Pitch = Blenheim had a two stage prop: Course & Fine. When its course its taking a huge bit out of the air so the RPM go way down (1,740)however the speed should stay the same.

all very good questions

No, it's not bugged, but for some reason it comes with a few 'difficulties' as standard, such as full fuel tanks and a strong crosswind.

It's actually quite easy as long as you forget the runway and deliberately take off into the wind (i.e. allow the wind to turn you to the right), being careful to avoid the buildings. Grass airfields have their advantages!

hahaha that explains why I was full rudder trim and full rudder and STILL was turning. There's wind! I wish you could hear it that would be a great indicator.

If you look at the clouds, you can see that they're moving quite quickly! But I agree. No doubt it'll be included in the new patch.

Video Tutorials Updated. See first post.

Nice update, Dutch. I use exactly the same routine although I tend to start rolling when the cylinder heads are at about 175 degrees instead of 200.

What video editing software do you use for the annotations?

Cheers Jim!

It's just plain old windows moviemaker as standard with win7. Just click 'caption' at the appropriate point and type. You also get a few options as to how the caption appears and disappears.

Thanks. I've been using the youtube annotations but they don't show up on mobile which is a pain.
