How to P-51D - IL-2: Great Battles (1/2)

[@DrJohn493]

I have flown an actual P-51D and must say that the IL-2 version of it is modeled much closer to the real P-51 than is the aircraft in DCS. Nice tutorial for the IL-2 in game version.

[@Alrold]

:O really ? like in what you notice that ? I feel like dcs is more realistic but it is a "feel" I newer flown anything in rl.

[@rifledude303]

This was great - the ‘How to’ videos are IMHO the best things you upload and are also the best of their kind on KZbin. Thank you for doing the 51!

[@iflycentral]

In many cases the Bendix radio compass is not necessary for normal navigation, but I would not dismiss it so quickly as a NAV aid only for those with bad navigation skills. Radio compasses on both allied, and German aircraft are very useful for navigating home on the deck when you can't figure out where you are so easily due to not being able to see landmarks and terrain features. If you are low on fuel, wounded, and / or damaged, and at low altitude; you might not be able to climb enough to figure it out in time. Thus; I personally recomended taking them when they are available as a backup.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

I do not dismiss them as "just for dudes who cant find shit". But often they come with massive antennas as well. After weeks and months on the new map, navigation is no problem anymore.

[@iflycentral]

@@SheriffsSimShack I didn't figure you did actually do, but it could come accross that way with the way your worded that part of the video. I have by the way been in the situation I described above before with the 51. On the deck, leaking fuel, and wounded. Ran out of fuel just as I touched down on the runway. Had I not taken the Bendix; I would have ended up in a field somewhere instead of on the runway. No way I would have been able to climb enough to find my position before being out of fuel, and being bloodied would have made spotting landmarks difficult as well. Perhaps I should not have let myself get shot up, and then I would not have needed it. :P Just food for thought for anyone trying to decide whether or not to take it.

[@spazmodicusrex6629]

It is very useful when you're stuck at tree top level and unable to climb from damage. When you can't see shit, and your only reference is your general heading home, you can fly until it picks up a beacon.

[@gerardheil8303]

Yeah I agree sometimes it's quite helpful if your trying to be sneaky, or have limited time. I never find them nessesary but they are usefull as long as they don't slow you down too much. The one on the G14 that sucks away 5-6kph is kinda a bit of a ehhhhh maybe, but at the same time trying to out drag race with the G14 isn't really going to happen anyway

[@ghostdog688]

This is awesome! Please get around to the P38 at your next convenience. I’m loving flying it but I want to get that little bit better :)

[@Lemard77]

The engine timer saving RPM also works for 2850 value, combat power time is doubled and there is almost no penalty to climb rate. I always use it at the start of the sortie to climb.

[@christopherfischer6998]

I love the mustang in this game. Although I’ve noticed that sometimes it takes more than half my ammo to shoot an AI plane down. While getting consistent hits too.

[@pppppffffffmmmmmmmnn]

Supposedly they haven't added late war .50 ammo to the game yet, although I don't know if that's still the case by now.

[@johnsmith2502]

That's so funny, the "Runstang"! Always cracks me up when guys that are use to do something themselves try to make it a negative thing when their opponents do it. Most of the Germans planes use "extending" all day long and as soon as a plane is added that can actually do the same thing to them it becomes "running away". LoL

[@Tattvadarzin.]

It might be obvious to most but as a newbie to IL2 I find it frustrating to talk about RPM and manifold pressures without saying how to set these values. Many of your viewers might be as new to the game as to the aircraft you discuss. So thank you for your time and enjoyable explanation, but please drop us the odd reminder about the mechanisms for complex engine control.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

Something for another video. Videos get long enough. If I explain Throttle and radiators and all that in every video again everyone else takes a nap. A "odd reminder" isnt enough for complete newbies I fear. Maybe at some point I make a "basics" video.

Darn is Sheriff the manaul oil radiator trick was suppose to be a secret ;) lol I remember in the first week finding out about it through testing and telling Scharfi about it, and her telling me about the 2700 rpm trick for top speed on the deck. So we both got extra speed out of the Mustang. The DC K4 can go faster then the mustang if you close it's water rads, but you overheat so quickly it's not even worth it.

Thanks for another great video Sheriff, I've been spending some time trying to master the 51D. Do you mind if I ask what the music track name was for the intro?

[@beardedlonewolf7695]

I can never reach above 400 km/h even at 3000rpm. I have mixture to RUN, no flaps, no wind, what am I doing wrong? This is the most difficult plane to fly in the sim for me, and because I can't reach high speed, it's so easy to stall during turns.

[@ubique6859]

Hi Sheriff great vids man! any chance of doing a how to set up head tracking please?

[@bsporcich]

Question... Manual Oil Radiator? I can switch it between auto/manual, but can not adjust it. Did IL-2 program that feature out of the Plane after this video was made? I know some planes allowed the switch from auto/manual , but all the "manual" did was to fully open the radiator shutters, it was an emergency control, in case the auto feature was damaged.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

The 51 allows and allowed historically to adjust the oil rad. It's possible that the rad is fully closed in that moment and you can close it further

[@glennpruess6936]

For the flaps, is there a key bind for doing increments like maybe pressing f and 1 at the same time for 10%?

[@_Ariel7]

Excellent, thank you. I had asked you on another of your videos regarding your very low approach on final, if this is your preference or was this the typical landing method during combat conditions? I would think a somewhat steeper approach would allow for a engine hiccup/failure during those last crucial moments of the approach. Would like to know your reason for this very low final, appreciated, and thanks again.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

There is no random engine failure in Il2. But regardless of that. The 51 does not like sudden change of AoA and a shallow angle reduces the risk of stall at the flare out.

[@_Ariel7]

@@SheriffsSimShack I wasn't aware of that, thanks. The other video of yours I had seen was either a 109 or 190 in which you used the same very low approach; I thought maybe a method of avoiding detection when landing with an enemy possibly following you back to base? Just was curious; I had seen a few others use this same very low, flat approach as well. As long as you land intact, I suppose it's all the same! Of course, in the war the engines, especially late war German with the quality issues, were not always a casual matter regarding reliability, and minor combat damage finding you out at just the wrong moment! :)

[@Slapbladder]

The Spitfire is the most famous allied aircraft, P51 is close.....The P51 is a very heavy aircraft hence the low speed/high angle of attack issues which induces a tip stall.

[@andrealves2630]

Mustang was a great plane, but its overrated because Murica. Spitfire is indeed more famous, and soviet fighters are largely unknown

[@303Pinker]

P51 was better plane to fight & come back home safely than spitfire. Spitfire was short range great dogfighter, but słów speed turn fight style of fight is overrated. High speed slashing attack style is better & safer. P51 was better in this role. P51 was also better for bombers cover than spitfire.

[@IS0PR0PAN0L]

I can get to 610 km/h at sea level, but at 8000m i cant go faster than 475 km/h. This is with 105 octane fuel and 25% fuel, perfectly trimmed, full throttle and 3000 rpm. With 2700 rpm the P-51 is even slower. Is there a reason for this? The supercharger is set to automatic and the fuel mixture is ‚run‘. The plane should be faster at these heights

[@SheriffsSimShack]

Look up the difference between indicated and true airspeed.

[@IS0PR0PAN0L]

@@SheriffsSimShack This makes more sense to me now, thanks!

[@Jbroker404]

Very interesting about 50% mixture! Is this true at every altitude/ speed/ throttle position/ RPM setting?

[@Lemard77]

yup, it enables automatic rich mixture at high throttle positions and automatic lean mixture at low throttle settings.

[@gerardheil8303]

@@abdulrhmanmygames5633 Most people either use Track IR or some other form of head tracking software, or they use VR. Track IR is cheaper, lighter and doesn't put any extra graphics demand on your system, as your still using your moniter. So spotting from a distance is a bit easier, and checking behind you is not hard on your neck. VR is slightly more immersive, and allows better aiming and less obstruction of canopy bars due to binocular vision

[@IdahoBookworm]

@@gerardheil8303 VR is MUCH more immersive. :) But you need a monster rig to run it acceptably because IL-2's VR implementation is pretty terrible.

[@stallfighter]

Does 150 octan increase P-51D heat?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

maybe, but not critically

[@Slapbladder]

It shouldn't, it just means it burns the fuel correctly with more boost and power without leaning out the engine which would cause more heat.

use the direction for your landing others are taking off from. Meaning if spawning aircraft are taking off from east to west, land that direction too. This makes it much easier to take off and land if you don't have traffic from the other side.
