1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted June 3, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted June 3, 2021 Doh! Sorry, did not read this thread correctly. This is a bit like the story of how the Noon day gun in Edinburgh always gets the correct time. A tourist was interested to find out so asked at the gunnery station. One of the troop told him that he could see a clock makers in one of the streets below and used his time. Whilst wondering about the city he came across said clock makers and asked him how he knows his clock out side the shop was right, he was told by the owner that he sets it by the noon day gun.

Crash Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 To be honest the P-38 isnt that tricky. I use the Warthog separate throttles for left and right engines, and the grey lever for prop pitch/RPMs. When flying we tend to use RPM and manifold pressure for our engine settings. One handy thing to know is that the mirror settings i think that its medium and high allow you to see the if the nose wheel is down. The ASI is hard to see as it hides behind the yoke.

BluBear Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Welcome Gary! I find the P-38 is a breeze to fly and operate compared to some of the 'less complex' single engine fighters. Tricycle u/c = taxi like a demon, no ground looping or losing wing tips in this baby Counter rotating props = no torque, she flies on rails Massive fowler flaps = lands nice and slow, just make sure you round out and settle on the mains first This might help: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the best out of Tom(DD_Fenrir), I have found that choosing your moment carefully, plying him with chocolates and promising him the world is probably the most fruitful approach ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricks Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 I came across this a while back and forgot about it, Utopioneer did a nice job of making all these training missions, just ran the 1st flight and WOW, the P-38 is about the most stable ship I ever popped into!

Don't forget that you need to wind the RPM and Manifold pressure back as you can cook the engines quite quickly if you forget to change the settings. Here's the P-38 card for help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricks Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 I'm not sure but I think the failures may have been on purpose in the mission as it shows I succeeded in bombing, flying on 1 engine, and surviving the landing.. but I really have no idea except it was a blast! I will say IIRC I never exceeded 46" , prop pitch and mixture were full forward, and we actually flew 90% of the mission at about 25"... Gonna print that out though!

Crash Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 There is a mod that replaces the sweetheart photo with a cheat sheet. Most aircraft have one and its very handy to look at in flight. here 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, that's really not how we roll/fly/think/talk over here ... We are a confident bunch of professionals, we have no doubts, we know of all failures, ours, the accidental ones, all the fAilures and shift! I am probably quite kinda sure of that.

Yes, but the post says even if they weren't the pic will show up as it's something that is part of the sim (that has been replaced).. Also read somewhere that there is a ticbox for "Photo", don't see it anywhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Aha, that's in the pre-mission setup screen of the aircraft, where you configure your ammo, skin etc. Next tab along I think from memory? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
