I have mapped a key to the fire extinguishers, but for multi-engined aircraft i think you need to select each engine individually and then press the extinguisher key (at least that's the way it was in IL2). That is, unless there's separate keybindings available (extinguisher 1,2,etc listed separately in the commands).

Generally speaking, that's how every "generic" command works with more than one engine (it's the same as the engine start, we select the engines first before pressing "I").

I also seem to remember there's a couple of handy buttons right on the starboard side of your instrument panel, press F10 to enable the mouse cursor (if it's not already on) and just click on it

That being said, i doubt that they would be of much use with a full wing on fire. I think they are contained in the engine nacelles for taking out the fire before it spreads, but if it reaches the wing fuel tanks there's not much left to do.

Yeah the only way to stop that kind of fire is to blow it out by diving.

I had two fires on my 109 last night both on the right wing but my elevator was hit and I had to try hard to force my aircraft into a dive and watched them get blown out fantastic stuff.

that's what I was referring to - but they don't seem to work out-of-the-box. I didn't expect the fire going out (as you say), but there's no confirmation whatsoever - no message, no "button depress animation" or such, so I doubt I got them to work.
From the looks of it, those buttons seem to be covered by some rubber cap. Maybe there's the trick somewhere.

Yeah I was looking at that the other day I might make a engine fire mission and experiment with it.

I'll be back flying and helping to organize larger group sorties soon. I'm putting some finishing touches on my first CloD film (my first film ever actually) and I'm getting crazy about trying to fine tune it.

Last night Blues were practicing hard their bomber formation attacks on shipping, Hawkinge etc.

We need Reds to oppose them. Unfortunately I'll be away next wekend but I'll be on the Syndicate server and Ventrilo on Wednesday around 7:30 to 8 pm UK time if anyone is interested in getting this underway. We need to get some numbers together and talk tactics for next Sunday.

Hoping we can get this sort of thing going in reasonably large numbers so if you fancy this kind of scenario, jump in!

[McFeckit]

I'll be on tonight and tomorrow once i've got Ventrillo setup.

[klem]

There should be 4 or 5 of 56 Sqdn on tonight (Wednesday) but we could do with a dozen or so guys all together.

Sign up! Well, turn up. We can't let the Blues have it all their own way

Syndicate Ventrilo at 7:30pm or shortly after. Hoping to 'go' at 8pm.

Tried and tried but no luck getting in . Might have more luck on Sunday.
