Stuka Angriff! - Shipping attack in The Channel. Yet another video by me...

Good stuff. The dialogue made me smile!

Nice hit

The force is strong in you.

Great vid. Nice hit!

Just two short, constructive note
Set the (lower) altimeter to QNH zero next time. The best one, if you know it the own one (AFB ground level, QFE altitude) and the altitude of the target (now sea level), you can calculate the difference then. In the video your altimeter showed 80m height from runaway, the airport's altitude above a sea is added to this (~40-50 m). Bacause of this, the automatics throws the bombs from ~30-40m* higher, what the set on the upper altimeter is. Of course, its much more important between mountains, than on the seacoast

The bombers engine management demands bigger attention, than the fighters - in the game sure. Let the Stuka not exceed these values flying until long time: 2100 rpm, 1.1 ata (manual p. 94). When necessary, may push full power, but not exceed this at the time of long, calm flyings. And the aircraft will not shake then on a return flying.

Thanks for your posting Tom!

How do you know this stuff? - Are you in the development team?

I would love to know all this, but there is nowhere I can find such info! - There really should be a web site with all this, a wiki maybe... - Also with info on how to use the FMB... - As it is I am struggling with finding my way in the dark.

Anyway, I probably needed those extra 120 meters when I threw the bomb!

No, i flew with glider RL, and there had to learn the aerodynamics, basic gauges, navigation, meteorology, ect

Then yet a short supplement

You see a barometric scale on the upper part of the altimeter. It shows it which air pressure shows the 0 metres on altmeter (of course, these altmeters measure air pressure, and the enlargement of the inner box gives the measure of the elevation. This depends on the weather because of this, claims if the air pressure changes).
If you know it a place the value of zero air pressure (if somebody landed already, and dictates it to you, what this scale shows if he is on zero alt), you set same value, your altmeter will shows excactly same altitude. This is very good if the departure one and the airport's of arrival altitude differ very much, or you taking off from another AFB, and have to set standard alt in mission.
The standard seal level pressure setting (QNH) – 1,013.25 hPa, so you have to set 1013 on the little white scale, then your altmetes show 0 m on sea level.

The wikipedia gives a very good explanation in these plainer things, but the google helps a lot. I have Hungarian books only unfortunately, they unusable for you.

I realised that my counting is bad meanwhile, the difference approximately 40m, not 120, because the airport's altitude did not increase it, but reduced the difference. However, the substantive part same thing.

He he,your're quite a comedian mate,great vid.

[garengarch]

excellent again, thank you
