Hello chaps Should anyone be interested I will be running a dogfight mission for a couple of hours and chatting through the setup I have for level bombing in the A20 and He111. The idea is to introduce the practice and go through key mappings and actions that will hopefully allow someone to successfully hit targets from height. We tried this during the Old Gits session run on UK time mornings and had some great fun... The mission will be running on my dogfight server twice, on Monday 30th Nov 2000hrs GMT and Wednesday 2nd December 2000 GMT (my apologies to Clod flyers). You don't need to be at both, one is fine, but hey you might enjoy it and want to do two!! In order to help the sessions it would be good if those joining would do some checks on their game first: 1. Ensure that when joining a mission in flight your aircraft remains flying level without pilot input - the idea is to be able to go through the bombsight whilst the aircraft is flying without having touched throttle or controls. Go into a 'Quick Mission', select the A20 flying at 3000m and start. We tried this in the Old Gits session and it works ok for the purposes of what we want to do. 2. Ensure that you have key mappings for bomb sight, bomb doors and level autopilot - see attached piccies. No other key mappings are needed because the bombardier actions in this position are all mouse-clickable within the bomb sight screen. 3. Download the two attached .docs 'Correction diagram' and 'Bomb correction for wind' as these will be referred to during the session. Pretty much all of the bombardier actions are simple however there could be a need during a mission to enter a gauge value due to wind direction and speed and this requires a bit of thought. For example, a recent campaign mission briefing had wind at ground level at 0m/s but up to 12000ft it varied up to 11m/s. This will affect your aiming point when level bombing. The attached .docs are intended as a guide and will be explained during the sessions. Please note that following some testing during the last 2 missions, should anyone now wish to try level bombing during Tom's 'Lightning Strikes' P38 campaign as a member of the 410th Bomb Group flying out of Eindhoven then Tom has kindly agreed to allow 4 A20 slots for 'breathers' during any one mission. If you want to do this then please let Tom know well beforehand so he can do the necessary admin. To aid in identification it would also be good to download the A20 'Night Intruder' and 'Lead Bombardier' skins from this thread ...and some others if you like them Cheerzen Bomb correction for wind.doc Correction diagram.doc

Well done FT fantastic job as usual looks great, love the attention to detail (nest) man of many bridges and talents.

Hello mate. Looking forward to meeting you

I would like to do Monday Sidly. 👍🏻

I can make monday night

Hello !

Welcome to the Dogz mate. Hope to stick around to have lots of fun with us. We are an informal bunch, no ranks or orders etc. no formal training but lots of people happy to get you back up to speed. Are you interested in the Tank Crew module at all? as we are having fun with that as well as the planes. What modules of IL2 GB do you have?

Hello and welcome. We are running a campaign on Sunday so if you can fly the P-38 and want to join in read this tread. Always happy to help new recruits.

Sorry mate but it seems I don't have permission to view post

OK Kevin, I just bought a recovery software hoping to salvage some accidentally lost video. I just used it on the 2TB drive that I also accidentally formatted a couple years ago with all my games on it. I found the ROF 1vs1 Missions. I just uploaded them to here.

I got around to patching this yesterday, all 29 gigs of it! Had a bimble around the grand canyon then somewhere in England (don't actually know where i clicked, somewhere in the middleish!). Turned everything up to Ultra for shits and giggles, and in 4K, my eight core overclocked to 5.0Ghz and Rtx 2080Ti with 11gig of memory and superfast fibre, can just about get mid 30's fps, lol. But, but, those clouds are so bloody amazing!

Choice?

Above Keswick in the Lakes...... Another big update is also due this week.

Fantastic model FT. Well done
