Learn to fly the La-5FN Series 2 

Thanks Michael, just some extra stuff for your information: With any of the Bf 109s I still recommend to lower the nose on the takeoff roll, but just remember that you need to add extra rudder to counteract the gyroscopic precession that will create a stronger yaw motion to the left if you do so. In the Fw 190 you can either lower the nose on takeoff as shown with my Fw 190 A-3 video or not lower it at all and takeoff in the 3 point position as shown with my Fw 190 A-5 video.

Yes, that was another issue: I was not adding enough right rudder. Thanks for reminding me. :)

No worries Raptor! Hoping to knock out the Russian gunsight video soon.

Brilliant, look forward to it....

You're welcome Baylor :-)

Cheers Math, I like to only use landings I think are good enough. Before the developers fixed the gear suspension issue it took a LOT of attempts because the airplanes bounced so much upon touchdown. Now that the landing behaviour is more realistic it doesn't take much time at all to get a good landing for a demo.

My pleasure Rob :-)

To engage boost in the FN, just increase manifold pressure past 1180mmHG when in the 1st supercharger gear.

@@RequiemsACTL Thanks!

No these are fixed reflector sights in the USSR airplanes so they're not adjustable.

Yeah you should always have max RPM for landing so you can get the maximum power in the event of a go around.

I've never play this game, only the first version of "Il-2 Sturmovik". But with max rpm the speed will not rise too much? Or exceed the landing gear limit?

No in both cases, because even if you set max RPM your airspeed will be controlled based on how much throttle (manifold pressure) you are using and what the pitch attitude of the airplane is (if it's climbing, descending, or level). In the new IL-2 series these airplanes are modeled with either a Constant Speed Propeller or optional Variable Pitch Propeller. A Constant Speed Propeller system will attempt to maintain the RPM you set, but once you get below a certain airspeed your RPM will start falling anyway. I have a video explaining how this stuff works in this playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLnyigzFtHeNq7NoAEMS9KSnQcTd7LOsAC

Yes, I'll check those videos. Maybe I'am confusing rpm and throttle settings.

I don't think you can fly that version in the Stalingrad campaign

@@RequiemsACTL oh ok but what about multiplayer ?

@@Unused91287 In multiplayer your planeset is only limited by the mission designer

@@RequiemsACTL oh ok

Mititelu Radu Nope. Of course none of it is necessary as it's just a simulator with all the limitations it brings. In front of a computer we are all just "1G comfy chair fighter pilots." You can just smash the throttle forward and take off without a runway in any airplane and do the other stuff in the air. I aim to approach these airplane familiarisations from my perspective as a flight instructor / airline pilot and not just as a gamer. So I model these procedures based on the actual flight manuals when I have them available otherwise I'll just use a generic procedure consistent with how you would fly in RL. Plenty of people just want to see a take off, approach to landing, or know the airspeeds for rotating/approach while others want to know as much as possible. I just provide the info in a consistent way regardless of the airplane's difficulty so you can pick and choose what you want to watch.
