Very well documented! I've always wanted to learn more about this amazing airplane engineering from that time ! Thank you very much :-)

I would like to find a source of inertia starters for small engines. It's a pain to keep batteries maintained for all the different machines I have that I only need to use 2 times a year. It would be nice to be able to just turn on the magneto, give it a crank for about a minute, and pull the handle. Might have to do it a couple of times, but that beats fighting with a dead battery all the time.

нахрена нужен такой прицел. Я с обычного из под капота быстрее попаду в цель

As the piston engines became larger and heavier, it was planned - and also tested - to start them with the F-type "Riedel" starter, a modified version of the S-type that was used for the ME 262 jets ruclips.net/video/8Azxzu1sqCU/видео.html among others.

awesome video very well explained , thanks for sharing👍

Really good. Information dense and packed in a professional way. Nice

Just what I've always wanted to know ! Thank you.

It is perfectly feasible to energise the flywheel via the manual winding socket using an external electric motor a short shaft and overrun clutch with current supplied from batteries on a trolley. Such trollies were standard equipment at pre war US civil airports, relieving ground staff of the irksome job of winding up the flywheel. I can use a 1940,s Willy,s CJ3 Jeep to start a large radial aero engine ,i,e a Wright R-2600 Double Cyclone. On the back of the Jeep,s 3-speed Warner Gearbox is a power take off,like a tractor, . A shaft with a dog clutch runs from the PTO under the Jeep,s body to a strong flexible shaft attached to the PTO, the other is a hand held epycliyc angle drive gearbox with throw out clutch ,like a large Black&Decker electric drill. Once the R-2600 is primed ready to start . One mechanic sits in the Jeep it,s , 2.2 litre 'Go Devil' engine ticking over, hand brake on, foot on the clutch, selects neutral waits for a signal from the second engineer with the external starter gearbox coupled to the flywheel winding shaft nods his head to the jeep driver. He engages the PTO then feeds in the Jeep,s clutch and throttle. The Jeep is now driving the starter flywheel up to the required rpm . When the gear whine sound is right, two nods from the engineers head the pilot pulls the starter clutch as normal, the engine fires, Jeep driver dis engages the PTO as the second engineer disengages the external starter using the throw out clutch , he walks slowly backwards inline with the wing leading edge clear of the spinning propeller , jumps in the jeep to be driven clear as the aircraft is ready to taxy out for take off.

Such a great educational video!! Thank you so much

That was a brilliant tutorial. Using source material was especially useful. Well done 👏 ✔ Subscribed!

I've downloaded your settings file and put it into the opentrack folder but when I begin headtracking the display only shows a black screen, I've tried it with the default delanclip and it tracks just fine. the 3 dots show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nice video man. Thanks

Very well made video, all most exactly what I was looking for.

I'd sure like to see more about the gear train and how the device actually works. I saw one of these on a truck, and thought it was a massive additive gear train attached to a flywheel, but I guess not.

Jajaja..nice cat...l do love cats!!

One of my fav Luftwaffe plane , it s so beautiful, I did a 1:48 Tamiya190A8 and I got to do a Fw190D9.... And its not going to be my last fw190...I do love this plane.

They just sound so cool I could listen to them for hours.

They should have made the rocket longer so it's faster and put a small gyro inside to maintain its trajectory with small fins. This would have allowed to be aimed accurately

Very nice video. I can really see now why Johnny Johnson who was RAF top scorer took the gyro sight out of his personal spit and kept the older style reflector sight! (He claimed it needed him to spend "too much time with my head in the office and not enough looking for danger"). I think I'll stick with Hartmanns method and just get stupid close!

Awesome video!

I downloaded your opentrack config template but I don't know where to install it. Anyone: What's the path, please?

Do you notice any stuttering or instabilities with the headtracking?

can u post ur config its got a 404 error

I always thought that hand cranking loaded a spring motor which was spun up, then coupled to the engine via a clutch.

I had been using opentrack with the Delan clip for about a year....but your configuration of open track (I downloaded your version from the Delan clip website delanengineering.com/manual/games-settings/ ) has been a vast improvement. Its never worked so well. Thank you.

2 years late.. but loved the video haha

Finally the mistery has been cleared. Thanks a lot👏 What's the game called?

How do u download an opentrack profile? It’s because my opentrack says “game unknown” and it doesn’t work in il2

Hi .. link is dead (404 error)

hello bud ive downloaded your setup but where do I add them?. only just got my delan clip today so pretty cluless

If the link here is still dead, you can get the OpenTrack config from the delanengineering site

Hmm, the dropbox link seems to be dead

hey mate, your link seems to be dead (404 error) : (

Great video and well explained, thank you. I look forward to trying this sight, having only just added Battle of Bodenplatte to my library .

Veoma dobra kolekcija aviona! U muzeju u Srbiji stoji isti takav p47, prelepi avioni! Odlican video :)

@10:15 If you get close to the target you should adjust distance not the wing span. that's why u didnt hit the target. u should keep adjust the range value and fit the end of the wing at the outside tip of the diamond.

good job well done

Just came and grabbed your profile as well thanks a lot! It's tough because everyone is a little different - setup, light conditions, head movement... but yours is such a great place to start! thanks again.

Watch and learn how to shoot better - ruclips.net/video/DREz7qI8xRk/видео.html

This could use some verbal naration.

Definitely saving this vid for future references for paint schemes for model builds. Love the "Butcher Bird"..

Beautiful video and beautiful Messerschmitt 💚💚💚

Huge thank you man. I just got a delanclip and had been struggling for hours with the curves and settings in opentrack . Using yours as a template has made this process much easier.

Great documentary! Thank you very much!

im so used to leading lol, this is going to be a new habit for me

Interesting video and nicely done. Couple things to mention. You see the fixed reticle through the left collimator lens and the moving one through the right lens, which are spaced to match your eyes. Because the images are at infinity, you see them superimposed over each other apparently out in space and the sight head itself is actually a double image in your vision. But of course the game can't replicate that. Pilots resisted using the gyro sight when it first came out because it took some time to master but once they figured it out it was known as the "Ace Maker". The biggest advantage to using it was it allowed you to do away with tracer ammo. This is a huge tactical advantage when your target doesn't get a warning from tracer passing him when you start shooting and pilots really warmed up to it once this was realized. Watch WWII gun camera footage and a lot of films show shooting without tracer. This tells you they are using a gyro sight. The game needs to have the option to delete tracer in the ammo loadout.

Finally I know what it looks like up close, thank you !

thumbs up from me 2. I saw a yt video of a warbird starting up hence I was curious as to how it all works. thanks skylrd bob.

Funktioniert das auch in IL-2 Sturmovik 1946?
