Learn to fly the P-51B Mustang

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial video for us.

[@captainnutsack8151]

Awesome tutorial. No wasted time, explained simply, clearly, and carefully. I absolutely despise "how-to" vids on KZbin where the person just goes on and on talking about stuff that doesn't matter. Thank you for taking the time to do this

Ahhhhh... the first chalkboard of the year! Everything is as it should be and the world is once again gollden!! 🙂

Righto Rap.

[@maltaconvoy]

Love love _LOVE_ the B model, it was my first crush as a kid. Thanks much for this, Requiem!

[@RequiemsACTL]

It really is a nice one for sure

Thank you very much. I`ve learn a lot from your tutorials

[@RequiemsACTL]

Glad to hear it!

[@Hangry_Hungarian]

These videos help a WHOLE bunch, thank you!

[@RequiemsACTL]

You're welcome Hangry :-)

[@Gaboon777]

I love your head tracking settings, been flying with them for almost a year with happy results, thanks!

[@RequiemsACTL]

Good to hear! They're usually a decent starting point for most people

[@notarokescientist3003]

Brilliant thank you. Love to see something on how to develop rudder coordination skills.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Look up a video covering the "falling leaf" in my channel, that will help you get started

[@fenny1578]

Thanks Reqi. You're the best, and always have been.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Appreciate it! Thanks :)

[@hankczinaski915]

Cockpit looks nice. Think i like it more than the D's.

[@WilhelmvonFahrvergnugen]

Wonderfully done. Thank you.

[@totallylegit4092]

Amazing quality as usual.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Much appreciated!

3:54 oil and water temps switched?

[@hankczinaski915]

Water can stay in liquid state above 100 'C when it's at a higher (than atmosphere) pressure. For example, at 3 atm boiling point is at around 134 'C. And vice versa.

[@griffon2-6]

@@hankczinaski915 I know, my question still stands. Also take a look at oil/water temp gauges in cockpit.

[@RequiemsACTL]

It's actually an ethylene glycol coolant so it's not "water" but I just write it that way for consistency with the in-game notes as the "water radiator" are the coolant radiator controls.

[@michaeloliver7545]

I just installed 'Normandy', and can't yet figure out how to gain separate axis control over throttle and prop rpm as they are linked in some way in the P51. Also, mixture seems to be locked at full rich and won't move with its assigned axis.

[@RequiemsACTL]

May need to check that you dont have engine assists turned on in difficulty settings, but there's also a keybind to them off

[@michaeloliver7545]

@@RequiemsACTL Damn! I needed to set 'Expert' in mission settings The key binds seemed to have no effect otherwise, but your "difficulty" advice tipped me off to look at that. Spent a whole day frustrated at not being able to run full RPM and manage throttle for landing. Thank you very much.

[@MrYoYo86]

I think I am having problems controlling the How do I control the Carburator air control lever? What is the key binding name?

[@RequiemsACTL]

I'm not sure that is controllable.

[@parallax_review]

Super jealous of your smooth head-tracking... I guess spending the money on TrackIR may be worth it after all?

[@RequiemsACTL]

TrackIR definitely improves the immersion factor, but snap views can still be better from a competitive MP standpoint because it fixes the view perfectly which would let you spot contacts easier.

[@yacobz]

why not just get VR?

[@ThatSpaceKraken]

@@yacobz VR is much lower resolution than a computer monitor which makes it extremely hard to spot contacts which can be about the size of a pin point. VR is also still very much in an experimental implementation in IL2 BOS

[@erikr968]

What's the purpose of starting with the canopy open? Also, is this how real-pilots did it?

[@RequiemsACTL]

Yes, real pilots would keep the canopy open until you're safely in the air and then open it again before landing. This allows the pilot to escape quickly after an emergency landing or if the airplane rolls upside down as a result. If the canopy wasn't open and locked then the force upon the plane crashing could slam the canopy shut and the pilot would be stuck in, a possibly burning, airplane. Not at all necessary in a simulator though so do what you prefer!

[@charlypoidevin4265]

is it possible in the game to adjust every buttons and switches with the mouse rather than keyboards controls ? I'm using a VR headset and it's quite annoying to lift it up everytime to find the right keybinds :/ , nice vids by the way

[@RequiemsACTL]

No the cockpits aren't clickable so you need to bind the the most important controls to your hotas/joystick

[@charlypoidevin4265]

@@RequiemsACTL Alright many thanks

[@hansspadvii]

Which one do you prefer, the B/C or the D?

Malcolm hood all the way! :-)

[@alfiebaker5267]

Hey dude awesome tutorial i managed to get the server up with the ports but my friend just gets #10017: File transfer error. If anyone can help that would be appreciated.

[@RequiemsACTL]

I think thats still a port problem on your end. I would check a port sniffer site to see if the correct ports are actually open on your PC

[@boranates1320]

Hello, I love your guides but I dont have any kind of head tracking. Do you think I could still play well in this game?

[@RequiemsACTL]

Absolutely. People.still do very well without headtracking. I would argue it makes things easier as your view is perfectly still when looking for targets unlike head tracking sometimes which makes it easier.to see them. It's just more immersive to have the head tracking

[@boranates1320]

@@RequiemsACTL Thanks for the answer, I downloaded the game and it is a blast!

Double mirrors OP

[@RequiemsACTL]

Yeah I thought that myself when I added that mod in for this flight lol

[@smellyfella5077]

Not as fast as the D but I enjoy flying this more....seems not to stall as easily as the D

what?! noo 😩 it should be faster actually
