Good to hear Bernd, seeing as you've watched a few of them I imagine you can see a trend in how you can fly any of these airplanes once you know the numbers to use :)
I am new here....new to IL-2 and I subbed due to the best tutorials on this channel. Great job! Best regards from an airliner colleague. Which type do you fly for which airline? I fly B747-400 and B747-8i for LH. Joe
Welcome Joe, I appreciate that you like what you found here :-) You fly a much larger type than me for sure though as I'm currently in the CRJ-900. Expecting to upgrade to CA early next year.
Well a Canadair is nice, my friend flew one for my Company.....it is NOT about size my friend, we both fly nice ones ;-) And YES, you do the best videos for IL-2. I learn a lot and I am diving deeper now into it and I am amazed about all those details in that Sim. All the best for you and always happy landings!
Thanks Checksix, I can usually knock out these relatively quickly if I'm a bit more familiar with the airplane and don't have to google translate a bunch of stuff LOL
When you say cut the power to idle at 6:53 does that mean throttle to 0%? Because the aircraft gives me a warning beep when I do that. Should I just ignore it? I couldnt make it out in your footage
Have you previous flying experience or a professional flyer? I love this channel and always watch the vids but seeing the glide from low key, talking about the aiming point! I have never come across something so well done and with such great knowledge from a flight sim channel before! fantastic.
Colin Delaney thank you very much! To answer your question yes fly I professionally and am incredibly lucky to do so. It’s quite a story how I went from a flight simmer to real life pilot. Previously I was a flight instructor for single engine, multi engine, and instrument training but currently I’m an airline pilot flying the CRJ-900 in the USA. I try to approach these videos with my flight instructor and gamer hat on to make them as understandable as possible, plus I have them peer reviewed by other real life pilots (with airline / fighter jet experience) before releasing them too. If its good enough to make it past that review then I’m happy for you guys to see it :-)
Ah fantastic! I'm glad you've made the step from virtual to reality. I've been following you from the Rise of flight days and always look forward to a new video. The very best of luck with your career and safe flying! :-)
A tad late to the show but...Wonderful content. I’m new to the game, got BoS for 7.50 on sale and just popped in BoM and BoBP with a couple of collectors with the last big sale. I learned the Yak-1 and I’m currently learning the Me-262 (one pain of a girl), all with your tutorials ofc. Well I’m decently limited because of my potato laptop, but with some tinkering I manage around 30fps in SP and 20 in MP, not the ideal, but it goes 😛 Cheers Requiem!
Cheers Matteo, I try and base what I make off real references and principles wherever possible so you can apply them to any sim. Glad to hear you're getting into MP. If you need people to fly with you'll find some people in my Discord who look for people to fly with too. Thanks for your feedback!
@@RequiemsACTL Will surely take a look there! Well I’ll stick with SP for a while, will probably incorporate one of those decent tracking devices (not TrackIR), as I’m using FacetracknoIR which works, but really pulls it off when flying full realistic. Soon will incorporate rudder pedals and throttle, hope to see ya in the skies by then! One big salute from Italy 🇮🇹
It's known as a "power off 180" approach. No particular reason to do it or not to do it all the time. It's kind of a test of how good your energy management of the airplane is. Ideally you will land where you want to land using this technique, but it takes practice. For an extra challenge you can try these power off approaches to a wheel landing instead of a 3 pointer
As usual a terrific video. Any chance you could do something on avoiding blackouts in the Spit IX? Something about this aircraft makes it very prone to blacking out, at least when I fly it. Thanks
I'll try Neil. The issue with blackouts is that it's related to the rate at which you apply G as well as the max you can apply. The Spitfire and Tempest for example have high amounts of elevator authority so you can apply G very fast very easy...too fast for the pilot's cardiovascular system to compensate, so he gets to say goodnight :-)
Hi I'm a newbie.. Have Il2 BoB. I do not have the same cockpit view as you. My view is much closer to the front. I am using a T flight Hotas 4. My plane is all over the place on my appproach, tilting left and right. I always end up crash landing. How are you getting an external view of the Spitfire? TIA
I do have the DCS Spitfire as well but I haven't flown it yet! It will be pretty much the same procedure you see in this video as I use the real manuals when available for these familiarisations. I'll see about doing a quick takeoff and landing in it.
It's maybe not the right place here but the flight model in DCS is quite different and the plane becomes very light and floaty on approach (and hard to control), with a tendency to turn every which way but fly straight, causing a wing tip on landing (for me). At least in IL-2, the planes are more predictable. Having only flown a Katana in real life, I can't comment but based on the films I have seen, Spitfires appear quite controllable, even on final.
I purchased a Ravcore Javelin (licensed VKB Gladiator) and the difference to the TM WH is night and day. Problem solved and now I have full control of the DCS Spitfire. forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3560174#post3560174
Ah good to know. I actually finished a few takeoffs and landings in it via the "Instant Action" mission just now (Video link at bottom) Wind was 300 @ 4 m/s (8kts) but it lined me up on RWY 09...so I took off with that slight tailwind and swapped to the downwind for RWY 27 at midfield for a crosswind landing (4kt component). The main impressions left on me were a weird transition in the FM from the ground to the air and overdone yaw oscillations during even minor power changes (may be my controller). For just a 4kt crosswind though it felt like I needed an excessive amount of crab on final in other approaches I made as well. ruclips.net/video/dwnI-Dd13OE/видео.html
Hey Mal, I get a lot of requests for that and it is something I've started working on but life has been super busy for me recently so it kind of dropped off my radar. I'll do my best to get some out there!
Help, I have watched you how to on the mk9 spitfire many times however I keep losing control after landing and slowly down on the run out , the aircraft starts to swing and no amount of brake and rudder will bring it back this usually results in a wing strike and ripped off aileron. I still have flats down , should I raise them after touch down. Any suggestions grateful accepted. Thanks in anticipation Leigh
Just as a disclaimer...what I'm going to tell you next is a technique for the game. I do not recommend this when flying in real life. In the Il-2 Spitfire: Hold down the brake as soon as you touchdown and DO NOT let go of the brakes until you're at a stop. When you use the rudder pedals you will get differential braking as well as the normal rudder effect. You will not ground loop whether the engine is running or turned off doing this technique. Pretty much everything I teach on my channel is based on real life principles...but this one is a rare exception to make your landings in the sim easier.
Use braking and rudder at the same time. This will provide differential braking. You can land the Spit engine on or off without ground looping ifc you use this technique. It just takes practice :-)
@@RequiemsACTL Thank you. This has been driving me bonkers. Every single time I grease it on, nice and easy, 3 point, slow, gentle braking I think no way a ground loop and then I go into one. I looked up the Spit to see if it had a locking tail wheel. Nope. Your answer has saved me from pranging another bird. Salute.
Excellent video as usual, but there is one mistake. The take off elevator trim is one division nose down, not nose up as you have it in the video. See the manual: it is quite explicit. It does not make much difference in fact, especially since the BoS Spitfires seem to have less nose up tendency than the real thing, but that is what the book says.
I know what you're meaning Unreasonable. I do have the original Spit IX manual (plus the DCS one) as I try to base these videos off the manuals from the period when I can. From what I learned the neutral position is 2 bars towards Nose Up from the center according to the DCS manual, so with the phrasing in the original manual maybe it needs to be 1 bar down from neutral instead? I don't know. It doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference as you said, but with that neutral position in the video I the takeoff felt very natural so I wasn't too concerned about it. One day when I fly a Spitfire in RL I'll know for 100% certainty though :-D
I stand corrected! I just assumed that the neutral position is in the middle of the scale, since there is nothing on the scale or in the manual to indicate otherwise, but on checking the trim tab in external view it is as you say at neutral when two divisions up from the middle. I shall now have to get used to taking off in a slightly less nose down posture. Thanks for reply! I always learn useful stuff from your films. Hope you get a chance to fly a real Spitfire one day.
All of these airplanes are capable of doing power off 180° landings, but the technique required will be different so you would need to practice to find out.
You need to continue holding brakes until you come to a stop and use rudder at the same time. When using brakes with the rudder pedals it provides differential braking.
Keep your eye on the turn and slip guage. The turn needle should not go outside the number "1" marker in either direction. Use this to fine tune your rudder corrections until you come to a complete halt.
In reality Merlin 66 and 70 engine Spitfires had Bendix-Stromberg injection carburettors and mixture was completely automatic with no pilot input. The mixture lever should act as an idle cut-off like in DCS.
Hi.. Im having some dificulties using the engine for normal and combat flight. What is the correct throttle, propeller and mixture for best performance in normal flight and combat? Could you tell me that for the VB and IX models? And also, I stall every time in hard turns, it seams that the plane pull more than I commanded. Any tips for that?
Look in the Specifications page when in the hangar to find the correct RPM and Boost settings for the MkVb and IX Spitfires. Use "Max Continuous" for cruise flight and "Combat" for combat. As for mixtures just keep them at the "Auto Rich" setting, but you can set them to "Auto Lean" during cruise if you wish. There is a bug right now (31 Oct 18) which may be causing problems for you as it affects the automatic radiator control in the Spit Mk IX, so it can't not regulate temperature correctly that should be fixed in the next patch.
@@RequiemsACTL nice.. thanks. And what about the overcontroll during hard turns? It seams for me that the elevator have excesse of actuation when I pull during turns. That doesnt happend in other planes. I think that is why I always saw people fall in expiral durin combats when this plane was release in the game. But I didnt figure out how to avoid. If i pull less, everyone get on my six... any tips?
The elevator is very sensitive, so it takes practice to become accustomed to how much you need depending on your airspeed. Try some tight turning starting from different airspeeds in a quick mission without anyone shooting at you. With a fast airspeed you should be able to turn hard enough to start greying out but the slower you go you will need more back pressure to keep up the same turn rate. Start out with a little bit of back pressure then increase it...if a bandit starts moving to your six then pull back more to bring him forward on the canopy. You shouldn't have much problem out turning anything in the Spitfire.
Thank you for the vid; Is it possible to release bombs individually on this spit or only all at once?(2 x 250 & 1x 500)? Also, what do you consider to be high altitude for the Merlin-70 to be advantageous? Many thanks
You're welcome Mark. Unfortunately it's not possible to release bombs individually. The bomb release button is on the inside of the throttle handle and that just drops the 2 x 250kg bombs at once.
Many thanks for the prompt reply; pity about the single bomb release and I very rarely fly the spit at 26000ft if ever, I will stick with the Hi octane option,thanks again
It actually DID! The Gyro Sight is a bit of a bitch but hey, I managed to get her down without groundspinning. Tried the same landing technique in the Mk V as well and THAT worked. Happy day all round really...
Beautiful aircraft to fly in IL-2. Excellent tutorial Requiem, thank you.
Thanks as always Snowy!
I was watching this thinking to myself, you sound like a real pilot. Then i looked and you are lol. Great work, helped me a bunch, thanks!

I guess that also applies to IL-2 1946 isn't it?
Requiem, just noticed you've got a manual mixture control. Was this removed in a patch and switched to an automatic control?
Yeah I think you're right Moggy. At some point the devs added automatic mixture to the Spitfire IX. I can't remember when that happened though.
@ the clip wings were for increasing the Spitfire's speed and roll rate but at the cost of reducing the turn rate.
Awesome
Hey Wolfie! We need to fly together sometime it's been too long
Yes definitely Req!! I am flying lots of DC's lately though.
Well I bought the DCS Hornet since I love that airplane but I guess it's not in the 2.5 build...I must need to use the open beta client.
Thanx
What do you use for video compression and what are your settings?
It looks really good.
I record using Nvidia shadowplay @ 1080p, 50mbps, 60 FPS. Then in my editor I use H264 with the same settings.
Why the hell does this thing like to ground loop so hard? I mean no locking tail wheel yeah but still
If you use the brakes while using the rudder you'll get differential braking and won't ground loop.
great flight school...pq: are you "just" a gamer, or you have something to do with planes in rl?
Thanks Leon, in RL I'm a flight instructor and airline pilot currently flying a CRJ900 but I'm definitely a gamer too! :-)
