What to do while waiting for the 190D-9?

[GorT]

Have not flown piston a/c in DCS for quite a while I think I'd be best catching up on the P-51D procedures/ flying characteristics. I've forgotten almost everything :-O

[Flyby]

continue my escort duties

 

I'll continue flying my trusty Emil with my mates of ACG_/JG26 in Cliffs of Dover. Campaign missions every Sunday. Also continue playing with DCS P51. I'm hoping to one day see the Dora have to take on the might of the Allied Air Forces over the Normandy map and beyond. Plenty of Mustangs, Spit XVIs, and Tempests to keep it interesting. JG26 takes on all comers (all in the name of good clean fun, of course!:D )

Flyby out

Glider? looks like one

Probably my favourite thing to do, especially in New Zealand where the gliding spots are excellent :)

No, Nanchang CJ-6.

nice

[WildBillKelsoe]

looks like the chinese version of T-34C Turbomentor.

reminds me of flying the Chipmunk :)

I was gonna say too beefy to be a glider.

Drooling at my wallpaper, waiting for MiG-21Bis and Messerschmitt, continuing areal refueling attempts in DSC, busting Stalingrad's towers in IL2: BOS.

Practice

 

Practice shooting it down with the P51!

Well,

 

basically I finally decided to learn how to use the guns in the p51d, because during the 2 yrs I have been using DCS World, and bought all of the modules to support the cause, I only used the p51d, the uh-1h and the mi-8 for circuits around the airfields.

 

Having been completely taken by the thrill of online air combat in IL2 BOS, I decided to start an identical career in DCS World.

 

I found the "Dogs of War" server to be a great place to learn, but am also using the missions that come with DCS to learn the basics of air combat à lá ww2 style.

 

So, lot's of things to fill my simmer time while I wait for the Fw190.

Yeah, BOS did the same for me, so DCS might profit from that indirectly... ;)

I can only imagine what will happen once DCS is more fleshed out in this area.

 

In the meantime, I found ED´s Yo-Yo making a very interesting statement in the russian 190-section. It had been hinted at in other threads that some people of VEAO and ED had met up with a former 109 and 190 pilot in Duxford, Erich Brunotte, and Yo-Yo stated that they recorded an interview with him regarding the pilot´s procedures and techniques with the ultimate goal to release a short film:

 

Синхронизаторы реализованы уже в соответсвии с электросхемой и принципом их работы, вплоть до ширины запрещенных секторов и их количества, поэтому эффективный темп стрельбы будет варьироваться в зависимости от оборотов винта. Однако, синхронизаторы электроспуска у Доры обеспечивают не слишком заметные колебания темпа.

13 мм будут действовать так же, как и 12.7 мм М2.

 

По поводу цвета спрашивал на днях человека (Erich Brunotte), воевавшего на Мессершмиттах и Дорах - он помнит очень много, вплоть до параграфов инструкций, но про цвет, по-моему, он ничего не смог конкретного вспомнить (хотя это пока из моего скудного немецкого понимания): летают, говорит, быстро, вжик-вжик...

Кстати, записали минут 90 интервью с ним, хотим сделать небольшой фильм, правда, вопросы были в основном технические и по технике пилотирования.

 

"Synchronizers already implemented in accordance with the circuit diagram and the principle of their work up to the width of the forbidden sectors and their number, so the effective rate of fire will vary depending on the rotor speed. However, synchronizers electric trigger Dora provide not too noticeable fluctuations in tempo.

13 mm to act as well as M2 and 12.7 mm.

 

About color man asked the other day (Erich Brunotte), fought on the Messerschmitt and Dorah - he remembers a lot, up to paragraphs instructions, but about the color, in my opinion, he did not able to recall specific (although it is still out of my meager German understanding): fly, said quickly, Whack Whack ...

By the way, 90 minutes recorded an interview with him, want to make a short film, however, the questions were mostly technical and pilot technique."

 

With the Dora´s release around the corner I´m quite excited to see what´s gonna come from this.

Ah, thx for the quote from Yo-Yo upupandaway.

They should be tracking down all the WWii vets they can on all possible crafts that could be included. I can ask my stepfathers dad any questions they would have for a B24 rear gunner while he's still around (hint, hint). He'll be 90 in September but that generation is fading quickly. He's the last person left from his crew. To be honest ground crew could provide some great information about the availability and functions of a lot of craft.

One week to go :)
