Visually using TAD and navpoint I had set to the AF.

Of course, I didn't remember that the navpoint is on the center of the AF, instead of the
start of the runway, so I had to do some quick maneuvers around the time I
saw the runway number flash past my right window. :haha:

Hard right rudder, nose down (had around 100m altitude at that point), managed
quite a smooth first touchdown (as in, didn't break anything), but the angle
I came in made me bounce and lost the left wing on final touchdown.

Practicing guys? That's cheatin'! :O:

I can successfully deploy cannon, sidewinder, one mav (never two?), cluster bombs. I can't deploy second or more mav (I'm usually in the ground or on fire by now!), or any guided munition like the Mk-82.

CBUs my favourite - a nice coverge for taking out soft targets, occasionally it'll take out a T-55 too. :yeah:

Must practice myself, but not tonight - BF3 finally arrived through my letterbox!

Managed to figure out Mavericks, need to check out the bombs tonight. :hmmm:

Hey! It's not cheating when everyone else(save dowly :O:) can kill things better than I can.

I just finished the Maverick tutorial and managed to kill 4 targets with my 4 mavericks. Last target that died wasn't the one I wanted to kill(I had been trying to get a second T-52 farther up) but the aiming with the Maverick is a bit of a pain. So I settled on another target that it wanted to lock onto.

There would be pictures, but I failed to take them while flying, and then failed to realize I couldn't view tracks for tutorial missions.

While everyone else was enjoying themselves online, I was having connection problems and was forced to play with myself(:haha:)

Here are the shots I got when playing. As I'm used to flying MP missions where there are no Labels, I forgot to make sure my labels were off, so the following pictures sadly all have labels.

Fairly good day of killing if I say so myself. Although I lost my two back wheels in the landing process

Note to self: Check APU switch prior to take-off :dead:

Today I decided to put my newly learned Mark Point/Maverick targeting knowledge to the test and loaded up the Sitting ducks mission(again).

I successfully took out the Shilka, two apcs, and a Ural with the Mavericks. I followed up with two or three gun runs and wiped out the soft targets. Feeling rather proud of my damage dealing abilities, I head towards the runway to practice landing. Things didn't go smoothly.

Yes I know I flew the runway the wrong way.

Came down hard and lost the right tire.

I'm close to coming to a stop when I the master alarm goes off. I'm wondering what's wrong. And then I see the left engine's fire handle is lit up. :rotfl2:

Guess the rough landing must've jostled something in the engine loose.

:o

:up:

Nice, Otto!

It always is beautiful when posted by Otto. :yeah: I think he could post a screenshot of Tetris (original greytone) and it'd still be a work of art.

Thanks mates :oops: :oops:

Very nice work Otto!

Great pics Tarjak. Which Sim?

Il2 Cliffs of Dover

Actually, I think that's IL2. :hmmm:

I think you're right, pic #3, 5, and 6 certainly isn't anywhere near the Channel! :yep:

What mods then to get it so great? Ultrapack or HSFX? :hmmm: Or something entirely different?

Photo editor. ;)

I just do not recall IL2 ever looking that good. :o

Nice ones TarJak, have installed today DBW mod, but can´t get the same quality as yours :wah:. Really nice pics, indeed
A couple of them, here we have a rainy afternoon so nothing better to do than fly a little bit.
