  Excuse me sir, I am a millennial and I enjoy basic land navigation. I believe you are talking about the generation after us millennials as we were born on the cusp of the advent of digital tools. We are the last generation to play outside. I can drive a stick, I can make a fire, I can find my way out of the woods with a compass and a map.

  This is diabolically difficult. The first and second turns as well as the climb to 500 have to be executed very quickly to be able to have the runway within 1km on the downwind leg to be able to see it at the end of your wingtip. Small question....if you're dropping the gear midway through the downwind leg does that mean that you're beginning to accept the loss of velocity and starting to drop from 500m (back down to 200m?), or do you maintain the 500m altitude until you make the next turn and idle the engine?

• 
  @colninny876929 күн бұрын

  True, in difficulty it behaves like a real aircraft. Remain level on the downwind after you drop the gear as your speed bleeds off. Once you get to base leg then start your descent and use flaps as required. Lesson 3 covers the use of trim. Imperative after every aerodynamic change: gear down, flaps down etc. Otherwise you're fighting the pitch all the time. Suggestion: if you have a Bf=110 it is a far easier aircraft to land than the 109. Same engines, same technique. You may also be flying too tight a circuit which forces you to do things more quickly. Give yourself some room. Finally, I have a new How to Fly series out for WW1 Flying Circus. Far simpler to master, if you have FC.

  @@colninny8769 Thank you for responding and thanks for the lessons ! It's getting much better with practice. I've been doing about 10 traffic patterns per day and I've gotten to the point where I can expect a successful landing on the runway each time. I'll take a look at the Flying Circus lessons although I'm not playing that game. I'm doing my learning on the Yak-1 and 99.9% of what you're teaching transfers perfectly to that plane. ============== Just for other new players, definitely keep the 500m altitude after dropping the gear otherwise you will have trouble spotting and lining up the runway after you make those final turns. You'll come in too low and too fast if you don't maintain the height for a while. Also you need to map your pitch trim to some easy to use buttons on your throttle or stick. You need to be able to trim quickly and not mess around with the keyboard.

  This is what is wrong with this game in my opinion. One of my favorite games used to be Aces High II. It was realistic in that you carried certain amount of ammo and the plane's performance was effected by the load out and fuel level like it should be. You pushed the throttle forward and after taking off you pulled up the gear and you were off to fight and have fun. In this game and games like DCS you're not playing a game anymore, they turned it into a job where you are taking notes and studying more than you are actually just flying the plane looking for enemies to shoot at. If most of us wanted to have to learn all of this we'd go to flight school and become an actual pilot. This is supposed to be a game to play to escape reality for a while and just have fun, not a damned job.

• 
  @colninny8769Ай бұрын

  That's arcade style play like War Thunder. IL-2 and DCS are Flight Simulations where the real world aircraft performance and characteristics and the pilot's abilities to manage them were a big factor. They weren't out there to have fun. That said, in IL-2 you can turn all those parameters off. Great for single player.

  Thrust lines are different with counter-rotating props. They end up having less drag with more propwash over the control surfaces. IN wartime it creates an extra logistics issue meaning you had to supply left engines and right engines, not compatible. The p-38 has counter-rotating and is an awesome machine because of it.

  Hi Col. Your vids are always so helpful I thought I would try writing you directly. Sorry for asking a total noob question, but others may have same two questions, so I will ask anyway. So, where do you get trim numbers for your dive speed? Trial and error? Second, I thought I remember seeing in other videos that, when diving in e.g. a dive bombing scenario, the plane gets trimmed as the dive starts into a slight (or pronounced?) nose up attitude to aid in pulling out of dive. Is this correct, or do you trim only as you start pulling out, or do you keep the trim neutral all the time, or what? Any help appreciated!!! And thanks for all the great vids!!!!
