IL2 Birds of Prey: Hints, Tips, and FAQ's Thread

I have a small question, in the Tiger Hunt mission the FW190 seem a bit faster then P-51, what am i doin wrong?

[SleepTrgt]

Got another thing to say.
I'm always dogfighting in the Tiger Hunt mission.
WHY do i keep losing speed after a while of playing?
I didnt use WEP at all, might have had a minor hit but no Damage acoording to the indicator.
So why do i keep losing speed until my Engine just stops?
Is this another bug or thing just in the demo?

Probably engine damage, you may have only taken 1 hit which won't make the indicator change enough to notice.

I wish it would post engine damage in the scroll on the right side of the screen where it says your flap and gear status.

Like:
Engine: Damaged
Engine: Overheat!
Engine: Dead
Engine: Inoperable

No dont think my engine ALWAYS get hit, to me now it is 1 small hit no sight of damage = dead within 5 mins.

Edit: I just have to complain for a sec, I hate trim so much...
Excuse me!

I wish the trim button was easier to reach on the AV8R stick.

Can someone confirm that you have to correct the trim every time you change direction? At least it seems like that to me.

It's a bit annoying, but as long as it is like the real thing I decided to enjoy the accuracy of the simulation

[David603]

The plane shifts trim every time you change speed or angle of climb, so there isn't much point trying to trim an aircraft in a dogfight. Trim is really about letting you maintain a constant cruise flight path without excessive control input, because the only time trim changes a great deal in combat is when you change speed substantianly.

i tried to use the microsoft force feedback for BOP and it works but the demo only has thrustmaster presets so my buttons are all wrong. will the actual game have a keymapping option?

i can't change from arcade to another difficulty level on my xbox 360.
I can change the amount of times i want to try the mission, but not the difficulty.

Help me Obi Wan. you're my only hope.
