Yes - here's mine - & my No2 (different squadron).

Lots of LEFT rudder!!

There's a machine worthy of the A2A treatment, especially as you're still young enough to remember how they flew . I like the left rudder comment.

I posted a video of me turkey shooting (hehe!)

Though the enemy plane is quite hard to see so you might have to go full screen.

You got him in the end.I would suggest you try to get a bit nearer.Were you using unlimited ammo? seems to have a lot of bullets there
Sailor Malans 10 rules of air combat

"TEN OF MY RULES FOR AIR FIGHTING"

Wait until you see the whites of his eyes. Fire short bursts of 1 to 2 seconds and only when your sights are definitely 'ON'.
Whilst shooting think of nothing else, brace the whole of the body, have both hands on the stick, concentrate on your ring sight.
Always keep a sharp lookout. "Keep your finger out!"
Height gives You the initiative.
Always turn and face the attack.
Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best.
Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat area.
When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
INITIATIVE, AGGRESSION, AIR DISCIPLINE, and TEAM WORK are the words that MEAN something in Air Fighting.
Go in quickly - Punch hard - Get out!

Hehe! Yes I was using unlimited ammo!

And thanks for the rules!

Also! How to get nearer the enemy aircraft? I put my throttle 100 percent and the pitch high which I think is high rpm? But its takes longer then I expected or is it just me?

Prop pitch can be a bit confusing. Fine pitch slices smaller bits of the air
per turn, which lowers load, allowing the revs to rise for the same throttle
position. The net effect of this turns out to be more power, so it is useful
for accelerations, but the flatter prop offers more resistance, so the plane
won't go as fast in a dive. This makes fine pitch like low gear in a car.

Coarse pitch takes bigger slices, putting a greater load on the engine, so revs are
lower for the same throttle. Acceleration is slower. The angled prop offers less air
resistance, so the plane will dive faster. If you are at a fixed speed in level flight, a
coarse pitch can maintain that state with less work than a fine pitch. In fact the fine
pitch just can't get enough revs to reach the peak speeds, and will labour the engine
trying. At high altitude, thinner air means less of a work load for a coarse pitch,
and that is where high cruising speeds can be attained.

Use fine pitch for takeoff and initial climb, coarse for cruising. If you are dogfighting,
and need to do a lot of speed changes, climbs, etc, a finer pitch is good. When pursuing,
a coarser pitch is appropriate. You will eventually find some preferred settings which you
drop into, and shift between as necessary.

Hi all, this is my first video (ever) and video upload to Youtube from a mission I flew awhile back.

Cheers.

Nice one.

Great work! I liked the way you had both perspectives of the fight covered - RAF and LW. Also you took the time to bring the viewer all the way home to a safe landing...I always think that is important to the story telling.

Very well executed! You've certainly got the artist's touch, Hazzie.

Certainly gave that Erk a haircut!

Very nice, liked the cockpit and the gunsight.

S!

ACM Instruction - bF09 vs Spitfires over Dover

Air Combat Manoeuvre techniques illustration for A2A BoB2 - for bF 109 vs Spitfires at low altitude.
Vital to keep up 109 energy, - dive outs, hi speed roll-overs, hi and Lo Yo-Yos and vertical ACM, to prevent the Spitfires out-turning the 109.
This ACM example is an unedited live single recording of the sim flight as flown with view manipulation with various instruments, programmable gaming keyboard, trackball and RealFlight R/C controller.
Note the modded white line in the centre of the top of the internal Perspex canopy - this is to help the sim jockey orientate the lift vector line of the incockpit 109 onto the target, in these ACMs.

There is a spelling mistake - the 2nd 'resond' should be 'respond'.
