how to learn aerobatic maneuvers?

[aaron886]

Depends on the size of your barrel roll! ;)

Uncoordinated maneuvers (spins, lomcovak etc.) are not going to help you learn flying, are to be avoided at all costs during combat flights and normal operation and will teach you bad habits so learn these last.

 

Above all, step on the ball!

 

A snap roll works very well for use in BFM. It's very easy to force an overshoot when fighting the AI.

I found these on the:

"The Official YouTube page of the 74th vfs 'The Flying Tigers'

Training College - Flight Lesson 2 - Aileron Roll

Training College - Flight Lesson 3 - Split S

Training College - Flight Lesson 4 - Immelmann

 

Training College - Flight Lesson 5 - Half Cuban

 

Training College - Flight Lesson 5 - Cuban '8'

 

I had a lot of fun with these, not to difficult but nice to perform.:joystick:

The AI is a tard. And what are you doing letting him get behind you anyway! :)

well ive tried and tried and can not lomcovak this p51. just too much weight i think. anyone else tried ?

 

also uploading a video of me patheticly trying it. but not sure if i had some axis issues cause i couldnt seem to do any of the moves i usually try(not that im proficient) anyway might as well show it.

 

also that new sound mod doesnt do the p51 any good at all.

 

vid soon. best watched on youtube website itself.

 

edit: hate those air/wind aoa sounds on that mod.

The AI never stalls. Can start a loop with 150 kts initial speed, 10 kts at the top while still maintaing a high angular velocity. No wonder. But it is very easy to make them overshoot you.

Ok, basics just in two words:

 

aileron roll - 200 mph and more IAS, nose up 20 deg. stick full left/right. The most hard is to stop - you must apply a shot of opposite stick to nail it to the horison.

 

barrel roll - 300 and more, nose up 30 and more degreees depending on altitude, pull stick to 1.5-2g and roll the plane holding the AoA (stick longitudal position).

 

Looping - 320-350 IAS, gently pull the stick to 4-6 g then hold it. As you at the top IAS must be not less 140. Apply necessary amount of right rudder to keep the ball centered and a touch of rigt stick to maintain wing level.

 

Immelman - 350 IAS, and perform an aileron roll as the nose was 20 deg over horison when the plane is inverted.

 

Wingover - zoom 60-70 degree, when the IAS is 150 bank the plane to 90 deg. Wait for the nose dropped 40-50 deg then proceed rolling the plane in the same direction and pull the stick to get reverse direction.

 

Half of a Cuban Eight - perform 5/8 of a loop, stop pulling the stick and let the plane fly sraight inverted at 45 deg to the ground. Then roll it 180 deg and you are diving at 45 deg wheels down. Recover from diving or get the altitude you began the loop and perform the second half of a Cuban eight.

 

All this aerobatics is better to perform at the unarmed plane having 33% of fuel . 42-46" 2700 rpm will be perfect all the way.

 

Yo-Yo.. Don't give me a fish to eat, tell me how to catch fish... Your source for ^ please...

Hi Ali Fish!... Nice Video! It might work better if you try turning off Rudder assist and Turn off Game mode..... j/k I think? Ha!

 

Not sure why anyone would want to do a lomcovak...

Death Wish?

 

I love the sound mod...but your right...doesn't do anything for the Mustang... I may for go it with the next patch...

Track down a copy of Flight Unlimited -- it runs great in DOS Box. The sim is all about aerobatics, and has an extensive training component that gives guided lessons on pretty much every aerobatic maneuver, some of which are blisteringly hard to pull off successfully.

you are partially correct megohm, i realised i did have rudder assist on as i was testing it with the wind . but game mode! thats blasphemy lol!

Looking Glass Studios made both of my two favorite non-sim games of all time. When I discovered (much later) that they'd made a flight sim, I was surprised. I'm still curious--how was the flight model? I heard it was pretty good for its time.
