In this video I show you the basics about the yak-1. Details about the cockpit, the instrument panel, how to taxi, take off and land. Then I show how the engine management works. Timestamps: Basics: 02:07 Loadout: 11:24 Technical Details: 13:19 To reduce the video runtime, to ease off the workload for one video, to make the videos more modular I will split the tutorial videos from now on in two parts. This allows me to make videos on aircraft where i just want to explain how to get the aircraft going. (Looking at you P40) Without doing a 40min elaboration about everything. Anyway. Have fun watching and let me now if you like it. Cheers

Sheriff's Sim Shack YASS sheriff. I have purchased a joystick pedals and TrackIR some time ago. I can fly, although at a rudimentary level, but my biggest problem is keeping cross hairs on target. particularly with pitch. IDK if I'm impatient and can't learn or I have a not so great curve/sens. I would like to know what you are working with to see what kind of light behavior you deal with.

I have very similar problem with the aim but with the targets getting out of the crosshair to the side. I try to compensate with rudder corrections but they are usualy very innacurate and throw off my aim completely. Is this problem of experience aswell or should i look into setting up curves and deadzone for rudder?

This is now the best how-to video on the Yak-1. My weapon of choice - allied side - since IL-2 BOS started. You covered all the important stuff plus taught me some. Good job.

Thanks for the concise explanation on mixture, radiators, etc in the last part of the video. I've played IL-2/prop sims casually for years and its nice to easily understand the details in prop aircraft.

LaGG 3 is very under-rated. It is slow heavy, and has a poor climb rate, but is pretty maneuverable and has a good roll rate. It also has some devastaing firepower for an early war aircraft too. My favourite trick in the LaGG: Got a 109 up your arse and can't shake him? Dive down to the deck and open your throttle and try to get away from him in a straight line. Then when he is almost chewing your rudder, slam your throttle shut and pull up sharply, then flick roll over 360 deg and watch him overshoot under you and right into your sights at close range. Then let the fascist bastard have it with your engine mounted 23 or 37mm cannon and 12.7!

do you have your gamma set way down? Such dramatic shadows, looks nice.

Like in the yak, can you not adjust the aeirolon/elevator trim in the 109 either? Seems only in the lag. Thanks for the vid, great stuff!

The 109 has stabilizer trim and not the one from the Yaks. its a seperate bind. But the 109 has indeed no aileron trim.

In theory, running the engine lean of peak or rich of peak affects the temperature of the cylinders. Don't know how it's modelled in the game anyway, in the La5 I've tried to find the peak but the manifold pressure varies way to little for me (a newbie) to find it. Have you ever experimented finding peak in the yak or any other plane? Btw, great videos, I', expending a lot of time in here on them :) Would really love to see the same pair for the LA5 (my fav so far :) )

@SheriffsSimShack

6 жыл бұрын

Yes the mixture affects the cylinder temperature a bit. The engine runs a little hotter with lean mixture. Like it should be. To find the peak its easier to look at the exhaust flames. Adjust the mixture that the flames are both blue and orange and then add a few percent fuel. Then u have the most performance. Alternatively you can of course use the test flight to find the ideal mixture for every altitude just by looking at the speed.

Great video but having a problem. I'm just starting with Il2 and decided to do a pilot career to work on formation flying, engine management and just get used to the sim.

Did you open your oil radiator? And how do you tell that you are overheating? White steam? or is it just text warning you? The mixture should be now set to ~70-80%.

Track IR. It tracks your head movements. :)

After flying the 109 and how it's used primarily as an energy fighter or boom n zoom, I want to try the Yak out as I prefer 'turn n burn' and attack when energy fighters are pulling out of their attack. (That I hopefully evaded.) First impressions are how stable a platform it is and how responsive rolls are. However, I'm still figuring out engine mixture, RPM controls and cooling controls which makes the 109 much easier for the pilot to focus on his job-killing and not in turn getting killed. (Hehe Germans always wanting efficiency, yet they'll overengineer something that creates other problems. I love old school mechanical engineering as I feel electronics have made engineers rather lazy. Russian robustness is exemplified in this plane with it's simple 'candy cane' flap and gear indicators and the external fuel gauges that only work to tell the pilot that they'd better start thinking about landing rather soon. The stuck canopy during a bailout scenario is a nightmare I'm sure many WW2 Russian pilots feared.)

Im confused, I have started flying the yak and when I have tips turned on while flying single player, it seems like it wants me to go down to around 30-40% mixture in low altitude. If I keep it at 80-100%, it keeps yelling at me to adjust my fuel mixture. Why is it that the game seems to not like your tips about keeping mixture around 80-100% at low alt??? Im so confused xD

@SheriffsSimShack

Жыл бұрын

1st) they reworked the mixture/alt relationship after the video was done. You can very basically substract 20% from my recommendations. 2nd) The ingame tips are shit. They are most of the time way too conservative. its better to learn the aircraft and not look at the HUD (exhaust amount, flame colors, power etc) 3rd) just for cruising you actually can use 30-40% mix. its very fuel efficient, but this is rarely used in general mulitplayer and single player,because performance in all situations is key.

It is also one of the most over powered plane in the game.

I'm relatively new to IL-2 and flight sims. Understanding how propellers work is essential to understanding wtf is going on. This great video helped a lot but it's all really complicated. Think of the propeller blades like small wings. When you tilt a wing up you get more lift but it slows down your forward speed. Propeller pitch is tilting the little propeller wings. It controls whether you get lots of power or speed like a car transmission going from low to high gears. Here's the video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpaElK-BY6_Xpqw.html

All you "look to rear" people with TrackIR need to take a short drop and a sudden stop. Looking behind you in VR is struggle because, well, you cant do small movement in track IR and magically save you from a neck pain. So yeah, fly a kite :D

Here I usually prefer English since everybody can folow. No thats not normal. The game should run in 1080p and it should be no problem to tab out.

Your explanation of fuel mixture is not 100% accurate. The fuel is inserted based on the mass of air entering the carburettor. Therefore, 100% on the deck is the same ratio as 100% at high altitude. In both cases, more fuel is inserted than would be the ideal amount (stochiometric value). Less fuel is used at altitude because the ratio is the same and less air enters the carburettor. Running lean means that the efficiency is increased because less fuel is being burned for the same mass of air, as you correctly pointed out (basically, although less energy is released, it is dispersed among greater mass, resulting in more pressure per Joule in the cylinder, and so more power in the engine per drop of fuel i.e. greater efficiency at expense of net power). However, the increase in oxygen means that the risk of premature combustion is increased. This is why some aircraft use water injection (cools combustion as it becomes steam, allowing for even more manifold pressure, and adds even more pressure in the cylinder as it becomes steam. Also decreases oxygen concentration, again allowing for greater manifold pressure, as risk of premature combustion (knocking) is decreased). Other than that, great video.
