You guys are being really nice and i appreciate it. My first day back on the forums and you're really making an effort to eliminate any moderating workload, so thank you and let's get flying :grin:

The reasons I am so fixated on the Blennie are that I am primarily a ground pounder, and I primarily fly red. Though I will fly blue from time to time.

As such, the Blenheim is the only choice we have for ground attack.

Oh how I wish we had a flyable Beaufighter to counter the Bf 110.

Though the early war part of me still wants an Anson.

And no, I'm not normally suicidal...

:grin:

The developers must have this data surely.

ElAurens,

may i ask where you got the digital copy of the Blenheim IV (Two Mercury XV engines) Pilot's Notes?

and how much?

Well after spending years and years doing research they should have ALL the real world data for all the aircraft they need.
One of the last updates had a posed pic of the guy doing the FM reading the spitfire notes, though why somebody didn't read it before release is beyond me.

Lets hope its something else that is stopping them getting the FMs right.
a bit like the "trees" affecting sound and they work it out soon.

They are from Australia, but it was $15.95 US.

They have them available for the Blenheim I and IV.

Lots of others too!

Thanks:cool:

Although you may have just cost me a fair bit of money, lol!

and tell the developers also about a correct bombbay and flap programming......

Yes, we are somewhat limited for bombers on the red side. The Blenheim is still great fun now and will be very good if/when the temperature effects are corrected. Here's my level bombing video (not that +9 lb is possible in the current model):

Plenty of suicidal to go around with just the Blenheim if you ask me :-P

I had made an offline mission before my hard drive crashed where i take off as wingman (i didn't want to aim the bombsight myself at that time) in a flight of 9 or so and we bomb an airfield near Calais. I placed some static 110s on the ramp, a few 88s and some light flak, set my flight's speed for 170-175mph or so (the approximate speed you get at +1 boost so that i stay withing the limits for auto lean mixture) and flight altitude was about 3000 feet or so.

The moment i reach the airfield in that mission all hell breaks loose and my heart sinks into my stomach :grin:

Btw, great video tutorial Jimbop ;)
