That doesn't count...we hadn't started shooting at each other yet..


Each other? How was I supposed to shoot at you? :hmm2:


so technically it was a friendly fire incident! Ha! Ha! No, I had a white flag under my seat and therefore you are the evil one and all your upcoming counterarguments are moot.:rock:

Bloody stalling... :damn:Stalling just displays the quality of the pilot.:smug:

You could have used a hidden weapon, or indeed the weapon of heroes!
Your white flag does not count when you are in a weapon of mass destruction, and besides I didn't even shoot at you :O:
At least I stalled in a quality piece of British engineering :O::O:

Do you want to imply with that that the Tiger Moth is of low quality and the shame of British engineering?:hmm2:

I think Schulz believes that it is safer to be in the sh*tshack as Raptor can't shoot it. The explosion would just annihilate the entire base including the strafing aircraft.

Invisible tree = kaboom
visible tree = decoration with no collision model.

Why oh why am I the only competent person here.:nope:
Or maybe it's just my awesome intellect, that also made me the greatest artist ever, that simply makes me so superior to the rest of mankind.

Actualy I never knew what that thing did, except it never stayed in the center. (yea, somehow I never read anything that said anything about it)

so you "tought" me something, not smartassed, so in the end you were a teacher... kind of...

[Schroeder]

O.K.
I'm afraid I don't know the English term for this gauge. It is equal to the slip indicator that British aircraft have (though they are using pointers instead of the easy solution:O:). All you need to know is if the ball is left out of the centre you have to apply left rudder to get it back and vice versa. Otherwise your nose won't point directly in the direction you plane is actually going (this also throws off your aim btw.).

Yea, I knoticed my aim was off yesterday, even when the sight was right on the plane.

In fact it wasn't until I made it to the other side of the airfield on the first pass that I even noticed any Archie. Most of it seemed to be aimed too high to hit me.

[Oberon]

At the risk of derailing this into a film discussion thread, what did you think of it?

My view, not bad, quite enjoyable, a bit predictable in some areas, the trader/race organiser reminded me of a used car salesman from Dagenham (perhaps it was his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather?) but since, unlike Mr Hood, it has not pretension of being 'historically accurate' bar the history lesson at the start than such a critical eye need not be cast upon it.

Needed more pits with spikes though... :nope:

[Raptor1]

Thought it was pretty decent for a video game movie. Could see the plot twists and ending miles away and it had as many plot holes as swiss cheese, but not unenjoyable...

Schrooooeder :D

I need your Smartass powers:

looking at the cockpit of Task Force, whats that panel behind the stick with ''Aus, Sturz, Wagerecht'' ?

HunterICX

[Schroeder]

To be honest, I don't know.:wah:

[HunterICX]

To be honest, I don't know.:wah:

My german lacks with technical chit chat

click on the FL. 50869 and it shows the same panel as modelled in TF's cockpit


26, 27 Zusatzgerätebrett mit ZSK 244 A
- 209.998-001 (Zusatzbrett)
- Fl. 50869 (http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/instrumente/katalog/anzeigen/gross/Fl50869.gif) (26)
- 1x Fl. 32529-1 (http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/instrumente/katalog/diverse/gross/Fl32529-weiss1.gif) (27)
Bemerkung: Bereits ab der „Emil“ war es möglich, die 109 mit einem ETC für Bomben auszurüsten (Rüstsatz). Für diese Jabo-Versionen wurde dann ein Zusatzgerätebrett, zur Aufnahme des Zünderschaltkastens ZSK 244, unter dem Gerätebrett schwenkbar angebaut. Mit Hilfe des ZSK konnte der Flugzeugführer die Bombenlast scharf schalten und gleichzeitig den Bombenzünder auf „MV = mit Verzögerung“ oder „OV = ohne Verzögerung“ schalten; außerdem konnte zwischen Sturz- und Waagerechtwurf gewählt werden.
Bei Messerschmitt war es damals üblich, elektrische Ausrüstung, die zu einem Rüstsatz gehörte, grundsätzlich mit einzubauen oder mitzuliefern. So wurde auch für jede 109 K-4 das Zusatzgerätebrett für den Rüstsatz 1 (1x Bombenschloss ETC 500/IXb oder Schloss 503 unter dem Rumpf) immer mitgeliefert, egal, ob mit Bombenträger ausgeliefert oder nicht.


all I gather from it is for the bomb drop, but what it exactly does beats me.

HunterICX

[Schroeder]

Awesome.
This thing is for the bombs. You can arm them with it in several ways.
OV= Ohne Verzögerung (without delay)
MV= Mit Verzögerung (with delay)
Then you can switch between dive bombing and level bombing:
Sturz = Dive
Waagerecht = Horizontal

Unfortunately it doesn't say how switching from dive to horizontal would affect the bomb.

I actually didn't know that the bombs could be switched from delayed to not delayed in mid flight.:yeah:

[SgtPotato]

Speaking of bombs...

I saw you explode over the destoryer after you tried to skip bomb, Schroeder. Did your bombs decide to "return to sender"?

[Schroeder]

Arclight had the same problem. It seemed as if the bomb delay did not work although it was set to 3 seconds. The game doesn't simulate malfunctions like this so maybe there was a lag caused problem that caused the bombs to detonate earlier than they should have. :hmm2:
Or maybe the flak got me directly over the ship, though I find that hard to believe considering that BOTH my wings fell off.
It really looks like a premature detonation of my bombs and I've no real idea how this could happen. :hmm2:

[SgtPotato]

I set the time delay to zero.

Maybe the destroyer got lucky that it shot your bombs before you drop?

[Schroeder]

Nope, I destroyed my target so the bombs did hit. If the bombs had been hit while still attached to my aircraft I would have disintegrated on the spot.:dead:

[Raptor1]

Does IL-2 even model such things as bombs hit and exploding in mid air?

[Schroeder]

I'm not entirely sure. I had some bombers explode nicely when I hit them with cannons in the fuselage. I always considered that to have been hits into the bomb load. :hmm2:

[HunterICX]

I think it's the mod, I've noticed since that the bombs create somekind of explosion when they hit the ground (thought it doesn't blow up anything nearby) then 3 seconds later (my default delay) the bigger explosion and it causes targets to be destroyed.

perhaps tonight I'll launch a dogfight server for a short while before we start the mission to test what the hell is going on with the bombs and the delay.

I'll have a target (unarmed merchant ship) and you'll skip bomb it again with the same settings you used in the last mission

[Schroeder]

@TF
Go to the quick mission builder, get into an aircraft and fly through the "non invisible" AKA "not a forest" trees. You will see they don't do any damage.
If you got destroyed while flying low you will have hit the ground or some other object.:know:
Except for you flew into those that are that can be placed around airfields as static objects. Those have a collision model of course.

I was talking about the generic ones on the maps as being harmless.

[Raptor1]

Oleg's First Law of Trees: If a tree looks like it has no collision model and you're about to pass through it, it will have a collision model.

Oleg's Second Law of Trees: If you just narrowly avoided a tree, it had no collision model.

[Schroeder]

OK, this time with pictures so that even you guys understand it.:damn:

This sort of tree= No collision

Was quite fun, wasn't it? I was quite annoyed that I suddenly went slideshow on the way back, still not sure what caused that, I can only assume it was due to the number of planes 'Nicht Landen' at our airbases. At least you guys managed to land alright. Well, except Raptor who landed on the moon.

[HunterICX]

Since Raptor was dropped out just before you got the slide show I guess your server doesn't like Timed out players and caused a strain on your PC.

I'd say redo it with transparent background. :hmmm: (so the scratches and stuff are transparent in text too):

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee274/Finnish_Ferret/lolwafflestesttitle.png

Maybe a sort of one-sided outline too to give more depth? :hmmm:

Just my opinion. :03: Is nice.

[SgtPotato]

Good thinking, Dowly.

I'll do that.

[Dowly]

Or if you want to make the filesize smaller, you could just take a screenshot of the flightsim board and use the beige as the background color for the text and save normally as JPG. Looks as if it'd have transparent BG. :salute:

After ~15 crashes on take off I have to say that your mods BLOW. Get to the grass = BUMP BMP BUMP and wtf is with Zero not getting to air on low speeds? Sorry but you tits have it all wrong.

PS. Recovering from spin works when it wants too. (yes, I know how to recover from spin).

Asses. Never gonna fly it again! :stare:

[Task Force]

Hmm. Works fine for me... Of course, I dont really fly anything other than German Fighters...

[Dowly]

Hmm. Works fine for me... Of course, I dont really fly anything other than German Fighters...

Is all good on runway, but the grass is even more bumpy than the stock one. :hmmm:

[HunterICX]

AFAIK, the flight models haven't been altered unless you've activated one mod in JSGME that added some things like wind and some other stuff (caused IL2 to freeze when trying to play MP)

the ground bumpiness, for me they have always been that awfull bumpy apart from the grass airbases on the Britain maps.

HunterICX

[Schroeder]

^this
The flight models haven't been changed.

I believe that the last official patch however did do some changes on the controller input. You now have to pull much harder to get out of a dive and some aircraft feel much heavier (which is good IMHO).

Or maybe I'm just paranoid again.:o
