As I thought Beo. Agreed. One attempt, live or die. As you state
it could become endless otherwise.
Appreciate the sympathy Otto.
Hi Haukka. Experience on one type of aircraft counts for a lot.
I always found the view from the CR42 awkward. Although it is
very good at manoeuvres. Dive bombing to almost zero feet is
more achievable in the CR42 than other aircraft, even if I still
miss.

Nice video and music Haukka. Interesting you strafe straight
down the road rather than at an angle as recommended. BTW Which
map were you using?

Thanks Larsresult! In that case it was very practical to go
along the road, burning trucks like who sews buttons. But I
don't always do the same. I think the most important thing is to
focus on eliminating flak rather than dealing with anything
else. When there is no flak, trucks are more digestible food.
I had to work a little to find the name of the map, because I
didn't remember it. This is a mission of the Aces over Europe
server, with version HSFX 7.0.3, luckily the video has the date
of the flight, which allowed me to find the mission.
The mission is "AoE Double Star 45", dated December 9, 2017, and
the map is Alps East

Hi Haukka. Not heard of that server. Interesting results chart.
I take it that was flown in Il2 1946 HSFX.
Sorry Beo. Going off topic.

Very interesting comments, gentlemen! ;D
@ E69_Haukka, you are correct about translations...a do-over is
a repeat of something a person has already done. We had not
really discussed this prior (it slipped my mind to bring it up)
and OttO and Lars was speaking of it over his last game where he
played it while still groggy from sleep/nap... as I too have
done many times also :( ...and it sort of came up as a possible
option (the dfo-overs) whereas I replied (as you noted) that i
didn't think we should have do-overs UNLESS there was a machine
malfunction (such as a computer lockup or a power interupption).
Nobody thought YOU --or anybody else for that matter...has done
any do-overs to increase points! :o So do not be concerned
over that as I assure you that we all consider you (and all our
other friends flying) as having done our missions admirably and
with fairness and honor.
I am not a great combat pilot... yes, I have TONS of flying time
in many different IL2 planes and mods but all of this time was
spent with me TESTING mods/building mods/etc... not actual
combat time. So though I am (I think) an excellent pilot, it is
only excellent when testing/or doing normal flight/takeoff and
landings (though not so good on carriers either...ha!) But in
combat I lack actual experience. For a while when I played on
line (YEARS ago) I had gotten pretty good, but after even more
years of mere test flying for mods, my War skills have
atrophied...lol. This is especially true in combat situations
where my vision (which used to be very good but now is pretty
bad) is required...as in this last mission. Though I survived
it, it was as much luck as anything because I really could not
see the trucks until right upon them. It was quite maddening to
fly all around and not see them until they shot at me...and I
felt very lucky to have gotten two with bombs and one with my
guns, and STILL make it back home to land safely (even though
badly shot up.) ??? ;)
So, even though I am NOT doing so well in our little competition
I am not one bit upset and or jealous of you guys that are...
Rather I am proud to fly with such men, ---both the good combat
pilots ---and others like myself that maybe aren't so good.
Together we make-up a nice team that for a few minutes each week
become warriors in our missions against the game's AI and fly
together with common goals hoping to have fun and do our best in
our game that we enjoy so much. To me...attempting to be as
realistic as I can be (even if it is only through our
imagination) and fly with you fine fellows gives me loads of fun
and happiness. Thank you ALL for participating! Everytime I
fly a mission...I pretend in my imagination that YOU chaps are
ALL right there with me...flying along in formation with big
grins upon your faces yet grimly, inwardly, determined to
complete our assignment for the flag and country we are flying
for! I'm having a LOT of fun!
;D
S!

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]This is how it has
been. Thank you very much for your response and for your good
spirit, Master Beowolff, you have clarified the whole
picture.[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]As for the do-overs,
now that I understand what you were talking about, I don't think
we should be so hard on us: we can afford a minimum margin of
tolerance; For example, in my squad, when we play an online
cooperative, and a dozen or more pilots successfully take off,
and one breaks his plane at takeoff, then we restart the
mission. In that case, the most important thing is that we fly
together, not that we are excessively rigorous with realism, and
leave a friend out of the game.[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]In this case, I
think that if a partner, or even myself, breaks the plane at
takeoff or when the mission has just started, it should be
restarted. Of course this must have a limit, precisely so that
it does not become endless. I think a second chance cannot be
denied to anyone.[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Perhaps Larsresult
need a do-over. [/font] ;)
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Another thing that
can be useful, and that I always do as part of my checklist, is
to do before the mission, a previous flight on any other
mission, even in the QMB, as part of a preheating exercise, to
see that everything works correctly, that the peripherals are
well connected, that the trackir works ok, and above all, so
that with that previous flight the effect of the cat-nap is
diluted, which affects me as much as you do.[/font]

I am also enjoying it very much, the challenge of doing these
missions offline with other pilots is new to me, but the level
of demand and seriousness is the same as when flying online.
Anyway, if any of you want to fly online, count on me as your
flight partner, We will fly together and have double fun. In
that case, I suppose this conversation would continue in another
place more appropriate for the subject.
Friends, keep flying and enjoying. Rust on the wings is removed
with flights and more flights.
Sincerely

I was doing great. I am starting to think that though I prefer
fighters, I am better suited for ground attack and dive bombing.
I got 10 vehicles here including a number of tanks. My problem
with ground attacks, however, is target fixation and it got me
this time too. I was concentrating too much on putting rounds
into the truck in front of me to notice that I was toooo close,
and then into the ground.
Sorry...I did something wrong when I posted my picture. It

Hey... wow you nailed those vehicles good.... ratatatat!
Working those machine guns! ;D
NIcely done... yes, I too have to watch my target fixation! I
SLAM into both ground and water way too often. :'(
Too bad we lose points when we die. You would have had a killer
score if not for that. But hey...good action anyway!
Beo
