Never use landing flaps. Use 'take-off' flaps for landing and combar for take off.

That will do the trick.

- Since first attempting to land all the different types in IL2 I have followed the well known method of taking the thing up to 3000ft and finding out at what speed the type stalls at with approach configuration (gear and full flap) approach power set, and a rate of descent appropriate to the type (500ftpm in this case)
- The B17 drops a wing at around 80mph on the ASI, so your target threshold speed is usually x 1.2 and therefore around 100mph IAS.
- A while back, I made a track complete with voice over using an ntrk with 4.09 on Canons lovely Channel map.
- It is about a couple of minutes long and if it helps anyone with landing the B17, well that is great.
- You will need manual view to get the best indications of speed, ROD etc. (it is an ntrk so the slip indicator is I'm afraid awry!)

Nice pretty 3-pointer Nicholaiovitch !

And yes, I do the same V-speed tests like you to learn a new bird.

A great track ! You saved me the time to make one. Thank you.

Hope you don't mind me taking a few shots from it.

That's the way I do it....... full flaps.

And I love that new cockpit. Makes it as real as it gets.





Aww, that "slip" indicator reason I've used so many times :mrgreen:

How did you add your voice ? I had to turn down my beautiful engine sounds to hear you.

And yes, lock that tailwheel.

Take care.
