Well shucks if ol' Leroy ain't a-flyin' that airplane like he wuz havin' fun at a turtle-poppin contest!
 
Did anyone noticed that Bf109-G10 has extremely bad engine....If you activate MW50 few times in dogfight and push the engine to it's limits, keeping temperature under 100, your engine will having lot's of troubles to provide you more than 350kmh in level flight....G6 does not have that problem....
 
When using early jet fighters, you throttle movements must be very smooth, or engine will burn in flames :)
 
The MW50 has very specific requirements as to when and at what altitude it can be used. I believe if you operate it below 5000 meters you will fry the engine, and that the engine has to be at a low boost level (i.e. low throttle) in order to use it. There is a section about it over at the knowledge base at M4T. When I say low throttle, this is only to turn it on, after that you can use the throttle normally but watch your boost.

BTW, lol, POS, that was the best application I have seen in a long time. Farber and I founded the squad last year in June so we are almost a year old now. A good bunch of folks, most are from Europe. Myself and a couple others are Americans but that alright as we still use time convenient for Euro types. We do fly german aircraft, some people take issue with that, but we are not Nazi's at any rate, hell, I am half black!!!! Certainly not racist, lol. But we all do enjoy the absolute pant bottom staining performance of the Bf.109 and wouldn't want it any other way. If you do decide to say on with us, it would be outstanding POS. And then I would also have another squaddie that plays Combat Missions so I won't seem like a super geek to all the other geeks ;)
 
Too bad I can only fly heavy bombers... Never really got into fighter planes. Looking nice what you're doing there, though!
 
Been experimenting some more with painting some aircraft :)

That may very well be one of the funniest things I have ever seen!!! :D I have heard a lot of responses to that comment, but yours takes the case for both comedy and tact. LoL!!! Actually I am 1/4 Cherokee Indian, 1/4 Black, and 1/2 GERMAN!!! Love to drive Volkswagon's ;) My mothers maiden name was Kreidler! Talking like third generation German American so there is still a lot of the Fatherland flowing in my blood, but I digress. Hope to see you this Saturday, practice is normally pretty informal unless we have a squad match soon after. We do some general dogfighting and grab-a**ery while everyone is showing up and then fly a co-op mission or four, depending on everyone's schedule. Flying in a schwarm that is part of a gruppe that has ALL human pilots is an amazing time! You look around and see all the different skins bobbing in formation, no AI perfection, the chatter over voice comms, farber telling us to knock it off and keep our eyes open, the level of immersion is amazing. Most of the guys have even taken to issuing basic orders in the German language!!! I was like "seriously?" but after a while I started doing it too, again the level of immersion is as good as it gets in IL2, hands down! We have flown campaigns against two other squadrons so far, one in 1941 Afrika vs. Chuffy's Flying Circus and the other a Barbarossa era campaign against the 69GvIAP, real live russians. Only thing was, we didn't get to fly F model 109s since they just rock, and the E-7s we were in were treated fairly rough by the Russians and their I-16s and Yak-1s. On one mission, while flying as Farber's wing man, we searched and searched for a fight, found one with the fuel tanks at 50%, and both of us got shot up so bad that we crash landed on our own side of the lines at almost the exact same time and damaged our aircraft in the exact same way when ditching. It was good for a laugh at the very least, will never forget that one.

I hope my ranting and raving has convinced you to join, you will not regret it!!!

That pic is Frank Gorshin as an alien in the Star Trek episode "Let that be your last battlefield".
Actually I'm probably more mixed than you or him because I was born and bred in the English midlands city of Leicester (pronounced Lester), King Lears old home town, (Lear-cester, gettit?) and our family go back generations in the area, my surname goes back unchanged to before 1066 no shit.
Over its 2000+ years history, Leicester has been occupied in turn by the Iron Age Coritanian Tribe, the Romans, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans, and there may be some of all of them in my DNA somewhere.
I sometimes wonder if I've got Lear's jesters blood in me..
"The great secret of the successful fool is that he's no fool at all" - Isaac Asimov

And a distant relative might have been a Roman Legionaire, i'm kewl..
"The Romans crossed the Channel from Boulogne and set up a base at Richborough in Kent. Different legions were sent to conquer different parts of Southern Britain. The 2nd legion set up their first base at Fishbourne, near Chichester in Sussex, then continued to Exeter where they set up their main base. The 20th legion, established their base at Colchester, the 14th legion at Leicester and the 9th at Longthorpe near Peterborough".

Actually - yes , most of my flight i was under 5000 meters.
 
@Sakai,

Just wondering how you feel about guest's joining in? If it is an informal afternoon, as a introduction / see how it works online visit?

And what about other FGM members? Anyone on for upcoming sunday to try a bit of online IL-2 flying? I've got time... :)
 
Incidentally can I just clarify that I'm not saying IL-1946 is necessarily the best WW2 flight sim out there, as there are others that are just as good if not better.
And each community swears THEIRS is the best, so it all boils down to personal preference..:)
 
Like I said it all depends what peoples preferences are, for example some people might like the IL-2 series better graphics, but others might prefer Microsoft Flight Sim 2's better gunnery ballistics..
