Messerschmitts vs. Hurricanes over the Ärmelkanal. Yet ANOTHER vid by me, sorry.. :-)

Nice video,

You did not use your 1 minute boosts, you might want to use this against spits!

Radiators open for 50% is enough I found out.

Yes Freycinet,y you have it right, the handpump is only for the ldg-gear.
During flight one should monitor the temps and regulate the coolers accordingly.
90°C for the water and around 60°C for the oil is right.
If one is economy-cruising (pp around 9:30, speed 300 km/h) it might be necessary to close the oil-cooler completely, as the oil-temp might go below 40°C causing engine trouble when suddenly power is needed.
cheers

I am beginning to think it is a miracle I even stayed in the air! - But I guess it is all about flying the plane optimally, which is also very important. Thanks again.

CoD only has three zoom settings and no seamless change in the degree of zoom. I really need the zoomed-in view for shooting, so there is unfortunately no way around the jumps in zoom setting.

It annoys me a lot that I cannot set two buttons on my joystick to "zoom in" and "zoom out". Preferably smooth zooming in and out, but if not then at least jumping from one zoom setting to another. As it is, I have to make do with fully zoomed in on one button and medium zoom on another. Fully zoomed out I can only get via the keyboard! (Because I don't want to dedicate three buttons on my stick to the three zoom settings) - Quite galling really, because it is a step BACK from Il-2 Classic, where I had a zoom in/zoom out function.

Yeah, the fly-by views can be discussed. I didn't have them in my first couple of movies, but choose them for the later ones, to give some visual interest to the more quiet periods of the movies. I love them visually, but the fly-by sounds (except on the newly made Tiger Moth) are really quite bad, obvious place-holders. I'll probably stick with them, but I totally see that there can be different points of view (sic...) about such views, since they do indeed take you "out of the cockpit".

So you are in Malta? - I love that country! Have a photo gallery from Malta here, if you're interested:...

Hey Freycinet,

Thanks for your reply! Pity there isn't a seamless zoom in/out function, perhaps they'll include that later? In Wings of Prey it's available, however I try not to use it even though that means that my shooting is rather bad. I accept that for the sake of immersion.

Yes correct I live in Malta, more precisely in Gozo, but originally I'm Austrian. It's a wonderful country and I'm very happy to be here. Your pictures are just fantastic - are you a professional photographer?

P.S.: Perhaps you know, but i'm quite excited that the sequel of Wings of Prey will have a Malta scenario. I look forward to flying over my house

Ah, then you probably know the taxi driver...

How do you turn off the text table?

Love your vids. Might I make a few suggestions?

You're gunnery seems to be the biggest issue. Some advice. Don't use the super close view mode. Use the 60 degree angle mode. It really is the best.

Also, when flying the 109, Don't use cannon a lot on fighters. You have a massive amount of ammo in those nose guns, and they do very well against fighters alone. I typically don't use cannon unless I have a perfectly lined up shot or against a heavier target.

Otherwise, love your videos

why sorry? its beautiful

[Freycinet]

droz, I have to admit that I also zoom that far in while shooting because it makes for a bit better movie material...
