Bonjour Messieurs!
After many years, knowing and flying IL-2, yesterday for the first time, I jumped into the cockpit of a F86 Sabre and was sweating tears and blood! 8)
I love your HistoMod! You really did a marvelous job, even a miracle! S!
Merci beaucoup!
For the first 5 minutes at least, I was enjoying and memorizing the cockpit.
I put the Oxygen mask on - and could hear me breathing... 8)
Took it off again and started with an outside check of my new plane... :wink:
I checked my flaps, my steering and so on....
Then I started with the start procedure of the engine....
At point 8 of your manual: Cut starter once the engine has started (15s) - I'm not sure what do you mean? Is it the Starter Switch (Key 6)?
Well, after an hour trying everything, well into the early morning, I quit. The engine won't run and I was afraid to ruin it! 8)
What I'm doing wrong if I may ask? I took my time.
And how do I know in what F86 to find the CA27 engine?
I'm not very familiar with these planes.
Ah, by the way;
At number 9 you're writing "External Power Switch - OFF" and you mean APU (Auxiliary Power Unit).
I'm not a native English speaking person... and it took me a few minutes to realize that the External Power Switch is the APU... :oops: :
)
I am very grateful for any advice and help!
And Gentlemen, once again: Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication!
Il-2 once more is different, much more realistic...real... still sweating.... :lol:
Jambo :wink:
