Second video attempt... - Bf-110 against Blenheims (youtube vid, 1080p)

Freycinet · #1 05-01-2011, 06:38 PM

Ok, back from the holidays, and I have been at it again...

http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwDOTda.../1/wZLZiYGiCds

This time I recorded as I played (and not from a track recording) so this is exacly how I saw it. Except, of course, for the much lower video and audio quality that you get when you youtubeify your recording. The original avi-file is 14 gigs! Anyway, it still looks quite good in full-screen and at 1080p I think.

I put some turbulence into the mission. Makes for more fun and realistic gunnery, and landings are a bit more of a handful as well.

As Fearless_Frog said somewhere, attacking any plane from dead six is really not the best solution. That might be, but that's all I manage so far, so that's what you get!

Hope you like, comments very welcome! - Especially on my woeful engine management... - Any better way to get some more oomph out of the DaimlerBenz'es?

Seems like maybe you forgot to retrim elevator. Looks like everytime you would get on target your nose would pull up.

Very Nice!
Hmm as you stated your new to CLOD. Just in case you dont know already, use rudder to aim when you lined up behind a bomber. Dont roll to correct your shots, only use rudder and elevator. That way you can stabilize your gunsight better on target. Its even possible to aim at a certain engine that way.

Recoil ?

haha recoil. Nah he didnt trim it well, same happens in IL2 if you got too much elevator trim your revi will be bouncing all over the place when you try shooting and aiming at the same time.

I did re-trim it to the best of my ability, but I guess not well enough... - Thx for the tip widow, I need all the help I can get!

Thanks for sharing. Nice vid.

Have to agree with Widow though - Charlie is flying straight forward so if u had aligned and used rudders you would've been able to spray left to right.

I do and I seem to have the same issue unless I have it trimed slightly nose down. I retrim for level flight after the fight.

nope, my joystick is an old Saitek Cyborg 3D.
