Learn to fly the Hawker Tempest Mk.V 

Cheers Luiz, that's why I'm here! :-D

Yeah it's a beast. That comes with a downside though as you can black out very quickly if you're heavy handed on the stick!

Cheers, Doc. You'll enjoy the Tempest..it's a monster!

No.

Agree. Wish we had her in DCS. That snow scenery will do very nicely for Volkel ;-)

I never got to fly the Tempest in 1946, but it's a lot of fun in this iteration. I haven't been in a position to attack any 262s yet though...I'm not sure why the tailwheel lock was omitted. I feel like I remember reading something about it on the forums but I just can't find it.

@@RequiemsACTL I've flown it recently on the now (graphically upgraded via Team Daedalus) IL-2 1946 Hyper Lobby - Orel war server. Back in July 2019I was on the Normandy 1944 map and spotted a bunch of AI B-17's being attacked by a player fighter, a Fw-190 A8 or A9 over a couple of miles away. He saw me coming and did what Fw-190 pilots always do in sims and real life by diving away. IT works for dodging Spitfires and P-51 but not P-47 or Tempests. I switched the supercharger into 2nd gear and went after him from 25,000 Feet hitting over 1,000 KPH at one point. I rapidly caught him up in the dive at full throttle, closing the gap as he hedge hopped on the deck. I gave him a 2 second burst from 50 metres, tearing the wings off. With the prop set at 70% the level flight speed on the deck was 860 KPH which was considerably faster than he was doing. I'm yet to fly it in IL-2 GB but as all IL-2 aircraft have the exact same performance envelopes (historic good and bad points) across all their titles, it should be a familiar plane to fly. Only fault on the IL-2 GB Tempest V I've noticed is that the engine sounds wrong and isn't loud enough compared to actual recordings of the Tempest V. In IL-2 1946 they have it pretty close.

What an awesome story Andy :-) That's the good thing about 1946, such a large stable of aircraft and theaters to use...Not having the heavies with the extra crew members (AI) is going to pose a problem in the current Il-2, so hopefully they can figure something out to include them. The B-25 AI has been a nice addition though. Agreed on the Tempest sound, it definitely needs a bit more of roar to it.

The Tempest never did have a tailwheel lock. And this confirmed by the pilots notes I've read for different MKs of Tempests. (The Typhoon didn't have one either, although the Sea Fury did). So this is correct!

That was probably the true airspeed dive limit, not the indicated airspeed. No prop plane can hit those speeds indicated. Even if the airframe could handle it (which it couldn't), compressibility effects would surely come into play way before those speeds.

Enjoy the new planes mate :-)

realese is now ive just been flying the tempest

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

There is now an addition trim axis setup in addition to the keybinds for trims depending on how they're configured in the aircraft. If it has a wheel..use axis trim, if it has a button...use the button trim.

@@RequiemsACTL Thank you very much! That's a huge help! I was just going over all the settings and noticed many new spaces and had my trim bound to button or 4 way switch and they didnt work in P51 so now I know why! I Cant express how much I appreciate your video tutorials, not to mention priceless replies to questions!!!

@@donc9751 No worries Don, I'd be pretty useless if I wasn't willing to answer questions when I put out tutorials lol

Yeah they're both a joy. Tempest for aircraft and Typhoon for ground targets (and to surprise the occasional fighter) :-)

@@RequiemsACTL Wait there's 3? I was talking about this and the Hurricane

I can't even count how many times I've read that book.

@@kackodatslav402 Yes I grabbed the re-release updated edition in 2004 as the old paperback was worn out from re-reading. A timeless classic passed on to my son.

Glad it was helpful!

Beta access for this purpose ;-)

You're welcome!

Yeah it would be nice to have airplane specific control configurations...I make the same mistake as you in the Tempest lol

pew pew!

Hey Stephen, the time limit should be the same as if you were flying with the 7 lbs boost limit as it's a different engine, but I haven't tested it...

You've probably figured this out now but don't unleash the full power for long in this thing, I may have burned the engine up prematurely in a fight with two 190s lol ;_; Amazing plane, just use the power properly.

Use brakes at the same time as rudder for differential braking. Also ensure your RPM is maximum while taxiing

cheers.

The notes that pop up are what I make. The "pilots notes" text is used from a part in-game but the takeoff/landing stuff is from RL manuals

It definitely slows you down. There's no requirement to keep it open outside of taxi/takeoff/landing or even climb if the temperature stays within limits.

Yeah I'm not a fan of how the engine sounds right now. It doesn't sound like it has a lot of power to me. Maybe when we can get to hear a real one again they can revisit it

There's this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BKq51LdJ-ZU.html

I guess its a pretty high pitched noise..so i think the sound is not far off...

It's not a functional device, but I try to explain everything in a cockpit as it may become functional one day and I'll always have people asking what something is if I don't explain a particular gauge or instrument

It's very competitive! Only one to be worried about is a 262 diving down on you unseen :-)

Yeah according to the Tempest manual there was a cockpit heater and windscreen deicer pump on the right hand side forward of the electrical box, but I usually only include stuff that people will be able to use in Il-2 (for the most part). I believe the Saber engine used in the Tempest was fuel injected so there is no need for Carburetor heat.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library - Right, no need for carburetor heater with fuel injection.

It can hold it's own for sure. I love flying it!

I tried it the other day against a AI BF 109 E, and believe it or not I could stay on its tail with partial to full flaps down, this plane as a lots of power and it gives so many options...of course I was not carrying any ordonnance at that moment. And keep in mind it was AI but still very impressive plane none the less.

Yeah, I'm on the beta testing team so I made this using the release candidate build so you guys can get this sooner.

Awasome.

There are no toe brakes in the airplane. Using the rudder pedals at the same time as using the brake lever gives you differential braking

@@RequiemsACTL thx bro，it worked

I've actually typed them all out. They'll be available on a website with other airplane data but I can make them available in a PDF at some point too

@@RequiemsACTL Are you referring to the discord channel, or is there another website?

@@dadnar7615 it's a separate website being made by someone (it's not public yet). They asked me to convert my procedures into text so I've done most of them but I have few more to complete.

@@RequiemsACTL Awesome! I'm looking forward to it. Your videos are the most helpful for learning to fly new rides. You've saved many a virtual engine.

Yep!

Sounds like you're running in emergency power. If you press O when in-flight you'll see the tech specs page where you want to fly by the engine limits prescribed in there. Anything higher than max continuous power has a time limit.

@@RequiemsACTL Really I find myself just trying to find the right prop pitch, mixture, and power combinations, and a few radiator settings for every single plane in game that I have, and thats just time consuming, but I sure as hell enjoy it. And I assure you I'm not just pushing the throttle all the way up and leaving it there cause I wouldn't be flying for to long if that was the case. I need to stick with one plane till I'm super comfortable with it I think that might help me.

No video from me yet, but there is a good explanation of it here forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/54367-v3201s-repairrearmrefuel-explained/

@@RequiemsACTL Excellent read, thank you.

Knowing they need to change sleeves every 25h of flight

You'll be navigating visually. There's no homing equipment or anything like that to use.

@@RequiemsACTL thanks!

There isn't much diversity in the skins, mostly different markings such as roundels, Invasion stripes, etc and squadron markings. Looks like the Tempest didn't have that creative paintschemes after all xp

I guess it's whatever you're used to... being Australian I like it :-)
