Learn to Fly - Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib

[@themigmadmarine]

I look forward to the video covering on using the sight for rockets

[@TheRaptorXX]

Ahhhh... it's like coming home to a nice warm fire in the grate hearing the old chalkboard!! Cheers Req.!!

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you for taking the time to make this interesting and informative tutorial video on the startup, taxi, take-off, and landing of the Hawker Typhoon Mk.1b for us.

[@Jbroker404]

Looking forward to the rocket video. This plane is the ultimate rocket platform in IL-2 Great Battles.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Yeah I love using the rockets in the Typhoon. I have a great technique to use and look forward to sharing it with you all soon :-)

[@renatoyap]

As Always, great tutorial. I had a good read on the notes before taking this bird up. First impression was that it had a tremendous yaw to the left, .. I mean hugely tremendous. This got me clued in, as when I fond myself slow and low making hand turns trying to dog fight, I nearly stalled and ended up a pavement pizza. So no slow right hand turns from now on. Keep the speed up on this beauty when fighting

[@RequiemsACTL]

Thanks, I've had plenty of fun doing ground attack in it as well as defending against attackers with those wonderful cannons :-D

[@simonlemerveilleuxdelisle3779]

Thanks Requiem for your great work again!

[@dannyboy5775]

Great information mate. Keep the the vids rolling. 👍

[@RequiemsACTL]

Thanks, there'll be a ground attack tutorial for this bird soon. I love shooting rockets in this thing!

[@dannyboy5775]

Excellent. I can't wait!

[@Finney198]

Thanks mate! Only complaint, was very hard to see the interior, not sure if can change time of day to make it a little lighter. Thanks!

[@RequiemsACTL]

Thanks Finney, I'll keep it mind for the next one!

[@no.7893]

I like how these videos detail all the interior components as though the game had dcs-esque clickable cockpits. A simmer can only dream...

[@RequiemsACTL]

We never know when things can change, so I like to cover my bases but it's good to know what's in your cockpit even though we can't use all of directly

[@no.7893]

@@RequiemsACTL Yeah, sometimes having a visual reference for what the keys on your keyboard are doing can be helpful. As hopeful as i am i doubt theyll add clickable cockpits in any time soon, though it'd be nice to be wrong on that one :-/

[@nigelmorris4769]

Great video just started the sim. How do u get the checklists

[@RequiemsACTL]

They're custom made by me, but I have an idea of how to make them available!

[@dimon5891]

Am I correct that fuel tanks selector switch cannot be operated manually in this simulator? I noticed this is always being switched automatically, by equal intervals of time

[@RequiemsACTL]

Correct. All fuel management outside of mixture setting is automatic

[@MistaWeeGee]

I don't understand "The Landing Lights Lever" on the throttle quadrant. When you select the landing lights it flips the switch marked as landing lights on the panel and the lever on the quadrant doesn't move. I was wondering what the lever was meant to do as it seems odd to put the landing lights on the throttle quadrant

[@RequiemsACTL]

It controls the angle of the light bulb itself

[@MistaWeeGee]

@@RequiemsACTL Ahh Thanks for the reply that expains it then............Appreciated

[@johnnicatra570]

Why is the canopy open at take off and landing?

[@RequiemsACTL]

It's not something you need to worry about in a sim, but in RL it stays open to let you exit the aircraft quickly and avoid the possibility of the canopy jamming shut in the event of a crash

[@michaelsmith6246]

Have you done one for the Mozzie. I am struggling with this bird, after 4 odd years away from the sim.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Nothing for the mosquito yet. It's takeoff behaviour is off a bit so waiting to see if it gets fixed

[@michaelsmith6246]

@@RequiemsACTL After watching both the Tempest and Typhoon tutorials, I tried again. With a bit of fine tuning, and full port rudder trim I have managed to get her airborne. Thanks for your help/videos 👍

[@flyingcod14]

What game is this from? Is it IL-2 Sturmovik? Huge fan of the Tiffy.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Yep Il-2 sturmovik. il2sturmovik.com/

[@puttyanimal3909]

What is the keyboard button for changing the mixture from Start to Normal?

[@TheHarvHR]

It'll be the increase/decrease mixture button

[@DavidJackson-ne6ub]

According to the Air Ministry Pilot Notes operating data regarding the Napier Sabre IIA engine, the max. setting for climbing is 7 lb boost and the RPM 3,700. Wheras the Napier Sabre II is 6 boost and 35,00 RPM. 4.5 boost and 31,50 is for max. rich continuous.

[@legopachycephalosaurus6825]

Does cut the power basically mean throttle all the way down to neutral or are you just slightly reducing it?

[@RequiemsACTL]

"Cut the power" = throttle to idle.

[@legopachycephalosaurus6825]

@@RequiemsACTL Thanks very much :), quick question but do you plan on doing a ‘How to fly the skytrain’ when it comes out? Your vids are amazing!

[@RequiemsACTL]

@@legopachycephalosaurus6825 yep

[@IceSpeeder]

just a question, is there any chance of a fw190 winning a dogfight from an A6M2? (considering that the Zero pilot has no knowledge of how to turn efficiently)

[@RequiemsACTL]

Yes of course. Experience/knowledge go a long way.

[@IceSpeeder]

@@RequiemsACTL thank u

[@TheWhoamaters]

Damn, gonna be a toss up between this and the mosquito for my preferred ground attacker in this

[@cameronalexander359]

Woah.. cool! Thanks for for posting this!!!!

[@smellyfella5077]

What is the difference between this and the Tempest?

[@Nabuli0]

Basically, Sydney Camm (the engineer) took the Typhoon improved it and put out most of the flaws , creating the Tempest

[@cameronalexander359]

Didn't tempest have the Napier Sabre Engine which was like 2 Merlin V12's joined into an "X24" ?

[@simonlemerveilleuxdelisle3779]

@@cameronalexander359 well yeah its a sleeve valves H24 and the Tiffy has it too.

[@rastafari7584]

If it comes to visuals the easiest differences to spot are the wings and a tail.

[@no.7893]

the tempest took the typhoon design and made it into an exceptional fighter, but the typhoon had better armor and was a more stable platform making it better suited to ground attacking, think of it as a sort of lightweight-IL2

[@johnmclean6498]

I own DCS at the moment. I will never understand how you could create a Normandy map and campaigns without this aircraft. It's a no-brainer and I wish we had her. Why oh why did the Brits persist in this stupid braking system when you have two perfectly good rudder pedals which could be made for the purpose, like the USA/Luftwaffe did. Engineers love to make things illogical and harder for a pilot if they can. Grrrr!

[@redratmtb9942]

WTF so more realistic than war thunder sim, is it hard to learn?

[@RequiemsACTL]

Like anything it takes practice, but it's more in depth and rewarding than War Thunder in my opinion
