Second video attempt... - Bf-110 against Blenheims (youtube vid, 1080p)

Ok, back from the holidays, and I have been at it again...

http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwDOTda.../1/wZLZiYGiCds

This time I recorded as I played (and not from a track recording) so this is exacly how I saw it. Except, of course, for the much lower video and audio quality that you get when you youtubeify your recording. The original avi-file is 14 gigs! Anyway, it still looks quite good in full-screen and at 1080p I think.

I put some turbulence into the mission. Makes for more fun and realistic gunnery, and landings are a bit more of a handful as well.

As Fearless_Frog said somewhere, attacking any plane from dead six is really not the best solution. That might be, but that's all I manage so far, so that's what you get!

Hope you like, comments very welcome! - Especially on my woeful engine management... - Any better way to get some more oomph out of the DaimlerBenz'es?

Seems like maybe you forgot to retrim elevator. Looks like everytime you would get on target your nose would pull up.

Very Nice!
Hmm as you stated your new to CLOD. Just in case you dont know already, use rudder to aim when you lined up behind a bomber. Dont roll to correct your shots, only use rudder and elevator. That way you can stabilize your gunsight better on target. Its even possible to aim at a certain engine that way.

Recoil ?

Sven · #5 05-01-2011, 07:49 PM

haha recoil. Nah he didnt trim it well, same happens in IL2 if you got too much elevator trim your revi will be bouncing all over the place when you try shooting and aiming at the same time.

I did re-trim it to the best of my ability, but I guess not well enough... - Thx for the tip widow, I need all the help I can get!

It may not be the trimming.....you using an X52 Joystick by any chance?

Thanks for sharing. Nice vid.

Have to agree with Widow though - Charlie is flying straight forward so if u had aligned and used rudders you would've been able to spray left to right.

You really look like you know what you are doing and it kind of looks like you might have had previous flight experience or just an avid simulation fan. Anyway a couple of tips... when you are in a turn you should look at your turn slip indicator... its the top middle instrument just below the sight, you want to center the ball... *think Step ON The Ball*

Also it looks like your oscillations up and down while shooting are probably from not properly trimming the aircraft. When you let go of the stick the plane should be trimmed to have the sight level with what you are trying to shoot. Use trim alot. I re-trim my aircraft quite a bit depending on what phase of flight I am in. Otherwise excellent video and excellent flying.

Undpilot, that's good advice, thank you!

I do try to trim the aircraft to level flight at some point, but it was a rather hurried sortie, so I don't think I got it as well as I wanted. I never really bothered with trim in any flight sim but somehow it is much more important in CoD, if you want to fly well and not bleed too much energy. I often note that I cannot catch up with a bogey, and then I trim up and catch him...

I was also told to just correct with rudder and not ailerons when shooting at the enemy and that really did help. Took some unwanted movements out of the equation and thereby simplified it.

Am working on a similar video, should be coming up soon!
