Exiting early access? As a dcs player, I am highly unfamiliar with this concept.
Lol!
That had to be a joke.
Wait, I know this term you speak of. According to legend, you need the blessings from a unicorn, 2 leprechauns and a Santa Clause. Only then can you exit the early access. I think DCS just needs those 2 leprechauns.
Magz: "3 bounces, that's disgusting"
Me: "Welp, any landing you walked off from is a good landing..."
said no insurance company ever
Well...
You sure acted the part of a rookie just arrived at the front! ;)
Never overfly the target twice and never relax over enemy territory! And don’t ever let me see you skip like a rock over a pond when landing ever again! Next time you go around. You hear me, flyboy!?
Nice work getting those eggs off and expediting that 190. Now the gun camera film shows you need some target practice, but you fly well enough. Go get some rest.
1. Crazy to see an Australian overflying my hometown Krefeld (well virtually & time-warped) in an American aircraft! :D
2. Thought IL-2 spelled "München Gladbach" wrong, because today it is written "Mönchengladbach"... until Wikipedia told me that up to 1950! it was "München Gladbach" before it got renamed to stop people confusing it as a suburb of München (Munich) in Bavaria, about 7hrs car ride SouthEast.
Couple of points of interest:
In the '38, one tap on the 'flaps down' key will send them straight to 50%, which I noticed early on since it's such a help to me, being disabled with just one hand working. Half flaps right away with just one tap eases my workload, and I suspect will yours too. You can concentrate on flying the airplane more, and for me, I can keep my one working hand on the stick. For me, simply setting up a bit longer final to get those last 50% flaps down, as well as tuning the airspeed as needed works well. In that line, I like the P-51 even better for its setup, applying 10 degrees of flap with each tap, so I have minimal distraction in deploying full flaps on landing. Needless to say, owing to my disability, much as I'd like to fly 109s, I find their ungodly slow flap deployment means an absurdly long final, so I don't often fly them.
You bounced on the landing several times because you let the plane enter a vertical pilot-induced oscillation. After a bounce, the thing to do is stabilize your pitch slightly nose up, sit on your hands, and let the airspeed drop so the airplane will settle. If you're running out of runway, remember there's no shame in simply applying full power and raising the gear for a go-around; that shows good judgement over impulsivity. In my 20 years of flying professionally IRL I never heard anyone criticize my decision to reject a botched approach and try again with a better controlled one...and yes, over those years I had my share of go-arounds after a too-fast approach.
Last, I also noticed you were _decreasing_ the RPMs on your approach, which decreases propeller drag, the last thing you want to do when trying to lose speed. Full RPMs and chopping the power is what's wanted here. BTW, an aggressive forward slip is also good for losing speed fast by presenting all that physical drag to the relative wind. Just about any aircraft can safely perform a strong forward slip, so I recommend plenty of practice and pattern work to make it second nature.
That was a very instructional and useful recording, thank you!
Yep 50% is the combat setting ^^
This is a great analysis, you're one heck of a virtual instructor pilot!
@@dcbadger2 well thank you!
I've enjoyed instructing all along, first as a ground instructor and CFI and later as a designated company instructor. I picked up early on that since I so appreciate the ability to pass knowledge along, I'm not just thinking about _giving,_ but am always just as ready to _take_ instruction wherever and whenever I have the opportunity to learn something new.
Let's see if that mindset works to make me a better combat pilot since flying on the PC is about the only option I have in aviation these days. Honestly, I'm pretty mediocre right now, but it's an axiom for me that we're always learning if we're doing it right and I certainly love picking up new helpful info from any available source.
@@mu2freighter Lets not forget the most important part in landing. slow down before you have to chop power and side slip and work on a more standard approach, because once you get the speeds down the p38 lands its self and stops on a dime compared to the tail draggers.
I started the P-47 carrer today, full realism, and died for the AAA in the first attack run
lol it happens, I've had the cockpit of my He-111 taken out by flack in my first mission of a Career before.
When you realise that Magz is going to bomb something in your home town... Climb up on your house, waving wildly and make sure he does not hit your house 😂 cheers from Germany
This is actually really intresting to watch! pls do more!
Walked away, and you can fly again, perfect landing
Well that formation lasted all of 30 seconds and was completely dismantled by a couple 190s. It's almost as if the p-38 is a high altitude energy fighter
really makes people wonder....
It's almost as if he should have jettisoned his bombs
@@graysav then he wouldnt have been able to complete his objective
Great bombing run, okay dogfight, Jingles landing. I give that a B-
If you are able to park plane afterwards - it is not a Jingles landing... :D
@@truenetgmx Ah, Jingles is getting better lately. Maybe crack a wing here or there but definitely less fireballs.
Great video Magz, those markers really help us follow the action bettee, couldn't help but noticing you were decreasing the RPMs on the approach, standard procedure is to set them to full RPM as decreasing the RPMs reduces the drag and this way they are also all set in case you have to do a go around. Thanks for the great content!
Nice work Magz, more of this please. I am getting on in years myself so my reflexes are slow as shit, and my eyesight is shot to hell. No shame in playing with markers on mate. Just enjoy watching you flying. However you wanna play the game is cool with me
gotta lead those 20mms a little more you were pretty close that whole engagement, good first mission can't wait for more episodes.
This is just how I remember this game..., lots of flying over endless green, and then a Quick battle where you dont really hit anything...
This is going to be a real good campaign, the new ai is really interesting
I hadn't realised IL-2 still looked this pretty. It was on sale at 75% off too a few weeks ago, was going to buy it and forgot about it, wish I had now. Used to love my old ww2 sims, only sim i'm really playing right now is DCS.
Additionally to markers you might wanna try to activate "Alternate spotting" option. It's a smart scaling option that removes the need of zooming to spot targets. Sorry if someone already pointed it out, or you figured it out already.
Cant believe its been 4 years since watching this series, last Fw 190 was a Ace a Med Ace, the top Ace you only know about once the screen goes all f'd up after it snuck up on your 6 and fired a single cannon round through the cockpit, they are op asf. No warning as they dont fire MG to line up like novice AI. They know where to shoot lol.
But, i enjoy having ai skill mixed, realistic.
And a thorough debrief!?!? I think I'm in love... heheheh
I'm not saying that you should get credit for that searchlight kill, I'm just saying it wouldn't have been destroyed if you weren't there.
New to IL2, but not flight sims and still learning the ropes, but I'm loving your videos. Subbed!
Looks like I have another Magz series to watch 🤘🏻
No shame in running NORMAL difficulty. That's all I play TBH. That's the wonderful thing about SP games. You can play them your way.
Right mate!
We all have shitty landings from time to time. Good to see a video by you of IL2. I was one of those people who encouraged you to leave the markers on. It does help us too.
Almost a jingles landing :D
Glad you’re doing a P-38 career! Excited for this series
I used to Live in Munchen-Gladbach!
Have noticed the Ai has been improved in their combat behavior this patch
Nice Magz. Good to see you happy on the controls of a prop fighter again.
I caught myself trying to switch to an exterior view haha!
Appreciated that you don't replay them to perfection. A pilot in real life can't hit a re do button so I like the realism even tho it's just a game thanks
Damn my man Nils put up a better fight than a lot of human players, but it did help that he had a moonshiner trying to gun him! Haha I look forward to more of this!
Just wait till you gotta intercept recon planes.... just wait......
Good luck with that!
And a hop and a skip. All together now!
Land me P 38 down, sport. Land me P 38 down. Land me P 38 down, sport. Land me P 38 down.
Magz, thanks for using Markers. I am also visually impaired, and although I find IL-2 a beautiful game to watch others play, it is also very intimidating.
you're fighting in a two engine heavy fighter not in a single seater, you must accumulate speed and avoid flying at low level . Not turning but preserve ENERGY!
I'm always a sucker for Magz flight career gameplay!
Great video fella! Keep up the great work.
The immortal John Hancock. One heck of a guy.
4:13 you look right at the enemy that jumps you. (Low horizon, right over your radiator.) You then said, "There should be more aircraft patrolling." haha
Such a cool plane
It wasn't a battle it was a operation mean 'scraping the boot hill'
landings you can use air brakes to get down quikly ,or slow down quickly.
Just this moment found your feed... and it's the shit! Only issue I have is; some volume, please? A 38 that sounds like a Prius is deflating...
Do you use your IAS gauge, or is that too hard to see with your eyesight? Good way to instantly tell if you’re on speed for landing...
One of my great grandfathers was an alabama moonshine runner. XD
I also went with Alabama Moonshine Runner but, his name is Bo Duke. ROFL ( Yeah, I know he was from Tennessee. Don't judge me)
You are fighting over my old home region. Please take care.
How do you fly so level in formation? I’ve gotten better, but my small joystick movements still feel very jolty.
Pz VI H1 - Nice Tiger kill there Magz :)
Zoom and boom ! Dont try and out turn a 190...especially with 2 motors...
plus bombs...:)
ya honestly i dont PLAY with markers, but it is so much better to watch with them on. Like, a lot better.
Great video Magz, look forward to more!! Could you though, please give just a minute miré explaining the gun convergencia, or, show how you solved It in Game. Many thanks
lol you flew straight into the runway. Try to hold it off the runway until the wing stops flying. Good content! You may have fared better in the first dogfight and even saved the rest of your flight if you jettisoned your bombs. I'm not sure if you can return to base and rearm though.
What a gorgeous aircraft this is!
Given "you" are a former Alabama moonshine runner and an airforce pilot, "you" have all the hallmarks to be one of the greats of NASCAR's early days.
Furthermore, it is MÖNCHENGLADBACH, not München Gladbach at 11:35!
"Name and origins
The original name of the city was Gladbach, which is even today often applied to the town. To distinguish the town from another town of the same name (the present Bergisch Gladbach), it took the name München-Gladbach in 1888. Between 1933 and 1950 it was written München Gladbach (short: M. Gladbach), without hyphen. This spelling could mislead people to think that Gladbach was a borough of Munich (München in German), and consequently the name was changed to Mönchen-Gladbach in 1950 and Mönchengladbach in 1960."
Map is from 1944, six years before the 1950 rename, It's accurate.
@@MagzGTV
Didn't know that - thank you!
My squadron commander in my Moscow career is called Jan Von Gravenreuth, I think you just killed his brother in the future.
Looks like a good game, but one small detail...P-38s had "contra-rotatinge" propellers. These both appear to be going in the same direction.
Think I’m going to get this instead of DCS. Warbirds seems more fun that jets shooting a missle from miles away. But also don’t want to pick it up till I get a HOTAS if anyone has some suggestions? Also does it suck to play without TrackIR?
I may as well throw my two bits onto the chewing out pile. What were you thinking flying at two AA emplacements, then doing a slow turn by them, and flying away in a straight line? I admit, your reaction to the inevitable was funny.
Love your stuff Magz
I hope the campaign lasts a long time. I missed watching you play flight sims!
Oof, but in a way, realistic. The P-38 units in the ETO didn't always have the best of luck. I'd say that was a good day mate.
But three bounces....oof mate. Your slippin!
enjoyed this :) Nice fight at the end. AI a bit better than Im used too. The endless circle fight drove me away from IL2. Ill have to get back in :)
Did I just watch a 30 min dogfight video ??? I have one question : are you using trackir ? If yes how did you set it up to be like this ? In this game it feels slow, not precise, Like if the "smooth" option is set to undecent values. How did you achieve yours to feel so crisp and quick ? The only games in which I get that is DCS and IL-2 Clod
You were a bit early on the final and pulled up to late, but as always amazing video Magz!
I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure you want max or high RPM on landing, not 0%. You use the throttle to control speed. Max RPM helps slowing down too.
Just leaving a comment for the algorithm
huh, Richard Parker must have crashed and died on landing.... He was #4 who went back to base.
Nicely done, Magz o7
That was the worst gunnery I have ever seen lol
Wait, so Hancock joined in 41, but is on his first flight as an air force pilot in 44?
Maybe he was an instructor first.
Yeah the back story dates don't really line up but there is in the writing a gap where you are meant to have ummed and arred about joining and who to join for a while, the way it's written makes it sound like days but the time is unspecified.
In the end it's just a flavor text option more than anything to make your pilot a little more unique so. . doesn't matter too much.
And, worse yet, American pilots - especially P-38 pilots considering it was a twin-engine heavy fighter - were criminally undertrained. If you look back at some first hand accounts, it's absurd. I remember reading one where an officer came out and asked the group of trainee pilots, "Who here wants to fly '38s?" and he volunteered. Later that day the crew chief showed him how to start up and use some of controls and he did his first solo flight. Unthinkable. I mean, you're talking with guys going into COMBAT with less than 200 hours of flight time in the aircraft. Up against both German and Japanese pilots with combat experience under their belts (...well, perhaps not many Japanese left with that in 1944, but you get my point).
@@fazole that, or he walked to Europe.
Do you have a separate RPM control assigned or do you keep it in auto?
That realy looks nice :)
I am glad to see that IL-2 lives on :)
sill have my X65 HOTAS from the good old "fogotten Battles" days... (albeit just getting dusty in some box)
Sadly, the AI is still not using rolling scissors :( that FW190 would have sloughtered you..but it was playing the old turn and climb game... a 109 and a spit are good at... a 190 not so much......most players would have had you on that first head2head pass (the one where you watched the externals ^^)....
But i am still interessted to see how things will progress :)
keep it up :)
"most players would have had you on that first head2head pass" Indeed, also an interesting fact to note that due to having zero stress, zero g-loading and an always 100% perfect aircraft along with in general having more combat flight hours and being able to custom tune there controls in a way that would be impossible in a real aircraft most skilled players are actually unrealistically good.
As in if you collect the statistics from a good MP server and compare them 1:1 against the statistics recorded by real world pilots even the worst pilots on an IL-2 MP server are almost twice as good as most aces that actually flew, the best players outperform the legends by a wide margin.
The irony of this is MP IL-2 on a good high skill competitive sever is actually the least accurate representation of the real world war 2 air combat that you can get. Everyone is a near perfect ace in perfect equipment with thousands to tens of thousands of hours in direct combat with knowledge of there enemies aircraft of a detail level that simply didn't exist at the time and zero stress or fear for themselves, there wing-mates or anyone else.
@@MagzGTV That is verry much true. And jet, the basics of air to air combat do work verry well in il2.
The German Finger 4 formation for example, if flown wide is extremely effective.. ViC on the other hand...extremely stressful to keep position - even.in IL2 (without freezing and sweating insode a noisy aircraft)...loosing situational awareness verry fast....
i always enjoyed dropping those tight formation flyers (you can get two Spits for the price of one in a 190...😅) - and got dropped often enough when flying those nice totally unpractical formations..... totally embarassing in a squad if your formation gets scattered and picked apart from a lone fighter...
Love this keep the markers on etc helpful for me then
Hey at least you didn't tail strike on landing.
I hate how the game always sorta glitches when a plane hits the ground. I thought that was only because my pc sucks but nope.
Hey. Just downloaded IL2 on steam after watching your videos. Where can I find this DLC? All I have is Russian and German. TIA and great videos.
You couldn't sign-up for the Air Force at the beginning of WW2 because it didn't exist until 1947.
...It was literally called the "United States Army Air Forces" from the start of America's involvement in the war up until they became their own branch in 1947. And, yes, they would use "Air Force" during that time period.
BaDOINNNNG! BaDOIIINNNNG!! BaaDOIIINNNNNNG!!!!... Down. (obligatory landing comment!!)
Your landings in the P-38 are WAY better than mine. I can't land that thing for some reason.
Best bet is to lightly flare it compared to other planes. The front suspension is really soft so if you flare then bring the nose down too fast, it will bounce and throw the tail into the ground. Land it flat and it tends to land best, bit like the ME-262.
Great video I love these. I play war thunder only and on ps4. I want to get this. What's the best way to play it. Computer?
Were you dogfighting with bombs on? I'm surprised you could turn at all with 2000 lbs of bombs hanging off that thing...
What dlc adds the American aircraft and campaign???
Battle of Bodenplatte, The new expansion that has just been released. P-38, P-47D and P-51D are the three main US aircraft in the expansion.
The Battle of Bodenplatte expansion. You get the Tempest, Spitfire IX, P-51, P-38, and P-47. And for the Germans, you get the Fw-190A-8, Bf109K, Me262 and the Fw-190D-9.
Where's the old storytelling campaign of the battle of Britain?????
Is this a Jingles landing
Interesting commentary on convergence on nose mounted guns...I had not considered differing drop on mixed armament. Thank you. Unified armament better :)
Boom, In like a 262!
Enjoyed your first mission in the P38. When you reset the convergence of your guns, can include it in your next video please. Thanks.
In the P38 there is no need to set convergence. They all shoot straight out of the nose.
@@thomaslee1982 Surely you need to set the convergences as a 20mm round being heavier than a 0.50in round would need a different setting so that both different rounds hit the target you are aiming at.Or am I missing something here? Thanks for your reply.
@@tulyar1043 I think that's the beauty of the config. I've flown the P38 a few times now and am finding there's a few different sweet spots re: distance/angle.. i just pulled this off Wiki. Cheers.
Fighters with central guns, mounted in the fuselage or a central gondola, typically aimed them straight ahead rather than converging them. A fighter such as the German Bf 109E "Emil" model carried a combination of central and wing guns; the wing guns were converged to a point but the central guns could always be counted upon to aim directly at the target.[4]
The British Whirlwind (four 20 mm cannon) and the American P-38 Lightning (one 20 mm cannon and four .50 in), both twin-engine heavy fighters, carried the entirety of their gun armament in the nose, a configuration which concentrated the firepower at all distances, and did not require harmonisation.
@@thomaslee1982 Thanks for your reply.
21:59 I find myself rooting for the ai
Magz The bouncing bunny..hehe :)
My laptop has a little less than 4 GB RAM. Should I bother getting this game?
Magz, you do know that is an airplane NOT a pogo stick :)
Air core* during ww2 the "air force" was a part of the army, would not become its own branch until after ww2. Now you know.
Although from 1943 onwards the 'Army Air Corps' became the 'United States Army Air Force'. Still part of the Army, but commonly known as air force.
Is this one gonna get finished?
Game looks fun but seems pricey is it worth it?
What happened to frontier pilot simulator, i was realy enjoying it?
Can you use asymmetric thrust with your throttle?
Hello magz great video and I would like to say Im very happy with the a6m zero hoodie I bought thank you
Glad you like it mate! I'm rather proud of that design, Turned out really well.
Joined right after Pearl Harbor. First combat is Sept 7, 1944. Sounds like a sandbaggin' commie to me.
