As for the rudder question, tight turns kills airspeed anyway. The rudder contributes just a little bit.

Nice one, thanks for your help

Ok this time i lost power after 15 mins without using WEP and not getting hit... Wtf dude... its starting to really annoy me now.

I mean, come on red outs are a "bug" but something random like this i cant understand isnt?

I get the same thing...after so long the engine damage indicator just turns black...I figured it's a kind of times up as its only a demo...

It's random dude, i've had it after 40 mins or 15 mins.
But i also notice it before my engine fully stops.
I notice my speed is slowing down, and then i watch my fuel pressure gauge and thats half way down, and slowly goin down even more.
If its at the bottom the engine turns black.

I think the German's just put a few well placed shots into your engine. Just a streak of bad luck I guess.

If it makes you feel better, 4 He-111's collided with me 4 seperate times in the last time I played the Cliffs of Dover mission.

SleepTrgt 08-16-2009 11:09 PM

No no hits at all!

The more i play this game the more frustration i get :???:
Trying BnZ tactics but i just dont get them, seem to lose my targets more often, crash more often i dunno whats goin on with me aswell.

Practise makes you better right? Doesent seem to work with me.

I'm clueless, i just cant like the demo anymore :confused:
I hope when i finally have the full game i can get more knowledge play some games with cool ppl. And all will be fine.
I hope

If you keep having trouble finding your mark, switch to the virtual cockpit for a while... it will allow more visibility. Just stick to the basics, the AI isn't all that challenging for the situation. In dogfights, the 109 will just use a simple spilt S or just try and out climb you. Don't expect anything, just keep with him and put well placed shots into the engine.

PS: if you want more detailed help PM, or stay close to this forum, we are all willing to help you see the beauty of this game.

I do see the beauty, Im fighting against the FW190's mostly in Tiger Hunt.
Im just having really bad days lately, like i keep getting worse now :(

Im trying to figure out BnZ tactics, after reading. But im just having a hard time succesfully applying them.

Also trying to improve my Awareness, But i lose targets often with a blink of an eye even if they are right in front of me, with some difficulty i find them again though.

Still getting frustrated about the engine, feeling it just can stop any second..
Sounds like a xbox 360 to me! haha. Hope to figure out what is causing the stopping engine.

A) I don't even know where to begin trying to apply new tactic, so good luck with BnZ. B ) Tiger hunt has REALLY bad visibility. The sun is pretty direct and the there are a lot of thin clouds that restrict visibility w/o you even realizing it; so don't be too discouraged about that level. If you want a confidence boost, dog-fight in Dover as there are a lot of escort 109's after they tell you to go to the harbor. You can usually find one pretty quickly and engage it. That level is a lot easier to spot and keep track of targets.
C) The lack of sound for stalling is a bug in the demo that will be corrected for the final product, so don't fret too much.

SleepTrgt 08-17-2009 01:28 PM

Thanks!

Well im lucky not to have too much problems with stalling ;)
I guess im just having some bad flying days haha.
