Ooooh, I know that system, believe it was known as the Brilliant Observation Backup System. Pilots swear it was so good they called it BOB the invisible copilot.

Hi Danderdogz, I recently got back into IL2 just a few years ago after moving to north west Arkansas for work and getting a VR rig with Reverb 2 headset. I always wanted to be a pilot as my grandfather was a flight instructor throughout WWII and I have some of his gear, books, and training models of planes and ships. However, I ended up in tech world and use IL2 to scratch my itch to fly and love of WWII aircraft. I have completed most of the missions, scripted campaigns, and a few careers. It took me about a year, but I finally started playing the scripted campaigns for Flying Circus in VR and love the open cockpit experience (should have tried it sooner). I have been wanting to dive into DCS; however, I think I will save that for when both kids are in college as I don't have the time to dedicate to it between work and family life. At this time, I am just looking to get involved as I think it would be fun to collaborate on campaigns. I may have a little learning curve if manual startups are required, but once I know the requirements I will make sure I am prepared before joining any online campaigns as I am not fond of being the weak link. Does the team fly with Complex Engine management mode? Took below pic at Rockford Airshow in 2006, in Rockford, IL.

Don't worry, complex engine management isn't complex!

There are some instructional videos on complex engine management on YouTube and plane specific tutorial. you need to have prop pitch and mixture mapped then seperate engine starts are handy but all explained on videos, if still struggling then we can go through stuff on teamspeak

Welcome to the Dogz Hawkeye! We do also drive tanks Saturday evenings.
