Preview flight simulator "IL-2 Sturmovik: The Battle of Britain

[JG52Krupi]

Anybody found out what the bar in the lower left hand corner in the OP are for?

Some of the pics of the two engine aircraft have two bars?

i would guess the throttle setting (i "can" see a small T in it..)

Thats what i thought but some of the two engine pics only have one bar?

The HE-111 only has one bar etc

well, most propably the autor was sitting in a singleengined plane but made screenshot from other planes in the outside view.
See the Wellington, the throttle is at idle, and the Wellingot is not flyaable in CoD.
So, he perhaps was still on the runway, but switched in outside view to other aircraft in the mission.

Yes, didn't even think of that :/ nice one.

It's an option for engine management.

(Can't find the post just now - was from around the time of the exhaust stack flame debate.....) Luthier posted some screenies of a Hurricane with 3 of those sliders - for throttle (marked with letter 'T' in today's screenies), mixture and propellor pitch (I think).

So, obviously can set up to have as many as you want - or none.

Not sure if it has already been addressed here, but what would be the point of having your Vertical convergence being set for closer/farther than your Horizontal convergence?

I'll speculate wildly here.

We know "physical weathering" is for modeling the deterioration of various mechanical systems in the airplane. I speculate that the guns and their mountings can wear out so they no longer shoot in exactly the correct spot, and the individual convergence options are used to correct each individual gun's alignment.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, though.
