More aerobatics by theFW

That certainly looks very cool, nicely done, but there were some things that gave it away as using the simple flight model, and once or twice some wings and tails hit the ground, which appeared to be carefully edited out by cutting to other sequences.

Still, it looked cool, even if wake turbulence would have made it impossible in real life, and it is certainly one of the best vids I've seen of simulator aerobatics.

:D Chock

When we fly online could we have realistic stalls etc on.

Yes, I'd like to have the stalling on too.

@Chock, dont know about that. It says on one comment from the author that "At our forum there are many tracks of alive performances where we fly on fullreal. There are all these elements of pilotage and more... All our rollers are made on fullreal settings."

And also, I'd like to see us flying with locked cockpits, icons off, both map & the ones that shows you the range, type etc. of the plane.

Sneaking up on the enemy was the main thing on dogfights. ;)

Icons off would be fine.

Would we still be allowed external views? I always fly with full cockpit on anyway.

I'd go for the full locked cockpit as icons off doesnt mean crap if you can padlock to enemy. ;)

I really want to learn to play IL2, better and that means going full realism. (in this case, locked cockpit, icons off.)

We can see where the other players are stationed from the main map when you pick your plane, so there's no need to worry that we would never find the enemy.

:stare:

wadda yadda badda.
stop talking you wuzzies :lol:

next time I toggle REALISTIC on.
means no pretty plane to see as only the cockpit :yep:
no Icons to see from a far distance, no Icons on the map so you cant know when they are close, no unlimmited ammo so you have to shoot wiseley.
no padlock so you have to use the different angle views in the cocpit to chase the enemy. means 100% realism!

and chock, you BETTER JOIN!
or else :arrgh!:

no back at easy pilots.
your death sentence has been delayed with a few days...Whuhahahaha:D
too busy with the map I,m building

I bet you all saw this, but I think its one of the best:

:up: thats one nice video
really cool.

Yup, even if you don't like the subject matter, you have to admit, that's certainly one of the best editing and composition jobs of any FS video :up:

:D Chock

and yea i know the realism is off and vulnarability is off :smug:
but i had some fun shootin dem mudda's :D

Yes I did, big fan of the Fairey Battle, even though it was a bit crap in real life, good last bomb run on those hangars BTW, nice timing.

Real settings or not, there's no denying you were hitting stuff with your opening bursts there, that was some good shooting mate. That's one of my favourite places to dogfight in IL2, because if you stay low on those hills you can force a lot of the bad guys to crash if you're outnumbered:rotfl:

:D Chock

Hunter & I flying at UKDED 3 (Sry, Hunter, no externals. Next time, record a track & send it to me, so I can use it too.)

I liked the 2nd sortie better, but couldnt fit them both to one vid. :damn:

In case you missed it in the general thread, here is a not very serious promo I made for the VA I fly for:
