Anyone Done This Yet?

Is the video sped up at the end when you take off?

It looks like that puppy has rocket engines.

Sadly, this is one of my pet peeves about this game, the takeoff. You can go from 0 to WEP in 1 second with no consequences while taking off and take off in 15-30 feet.

Just saying, but shouldn't this go in your video thread?? Nice video though. I've successfully landed on the bridge as well.

Its rather like landing on a carrier, but with a bit more room for error. Still, getting it on the first go is very good, it took me multiple tries to land a Seafire on a carrier.

Can someone confirm the take-off afterburners on sim mode please?

I can't take-off that fast, nor can I slow down anywhere near that speed on Simulator.

Are you sure that's not in arcade mode? You shed your speed so quickly?

Also, I just landed on the bridge... the small one! lol I ran out of 'runway' pretty quickly and it ended in flames!

I tried the longer bridge, and like all my landings in this game - they're smooth and gentle but trying to get the plane past that bl**dy 31mph brick wall is so difficult.
The easiest way to stop using 'aviator' config is to ding your prop so the engine cuts! lol

Let me try to elaborate. In IL-2 1946 skipping the sim engine starting and all that, you can be on a carrier with chocks up and engine at 70% and let go of chocks it takes the whole carrier to get up to speed for takeoff and that is with the engines warmed up. Imagine the same thing except the acceleration is so fast on the ground its like the plane is accelerating in the air from 0-170+ by the time you can safely pull up you really aren't that far from where you started.

And on the landing thing, I tried to land on the harbour walls between the light houses on the left wall, I almost got it but when I hit 20 km/h I hit the lighthouse!

This is definatly done on arcade mode. Check out the RPM dial on the right when he uses WEP, it only goes up that high and quickly in arcade. Still its a pretty cool video. Can it be done in the harder modes aswell?
