Back To Page 2 Pilot Modeling The ability to climb very high without the necessity of oxygen to keep the pilot conscious was great concern. Q. How is hypoxia modeled? A. We plan to model some aspects including ones that affect the pilot such as weariness with G-forces, wounds, hypoxia and maybe some other aspects. Q. When […]

Back To Page 1 The GT office entrance and the “Honor Corner” Mission Building Q. Will there be something analogous to the Quick Mission Builder in IL-2? A. Yes. Q. How detailed a mission will it support? How about a Full Mission Builder? A. Its basic details are still in development so it’s a little bit early to describe […]

An Interview with the Gennadich Team (GT) About Their In-Development WWI Simulation by Frank “BA_Dart” Giger Historic Accuracy Q. How has the team involved the owners / operators of existing period aircraft (original and reproduction) such as the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in defining things such as aircraft performance and handling characteristics? A. We have contacted the Memorial Flight Association, and most […]

Back To Page 4 Sébastien: And lastly, Simplex took on a big challenge as I was asked by the press to get a screenshot in eight days. Simplex had it completed in seven! Another example of great teamwork as I and some others managed to collect exact data’s about Ajaccio Bay in the 1940’s. Compared […]

Back To Page 3 Mark: How did you get the flight sim community involved with this project? Sébastien: I posted a few “SOS” threads on web sites like www.mustangsmustangs.com and on the 31st FG web site, but I never received an answer. I don’t know how the idea came to ask for help from the flight […]

Back To Page 2 Mark: When did you realize that it wasn’t a Spitfire, but a Mustang? Sébastien: I’m not a specialist in planes, but at first glance of the pictures I realized that it was not a Spit. In the first hours, I believed it was a P-40, because of the form of the rear […]
Calamity in Corsica Page 2
Back To Page 1 Introduction Only recently, and by chance, has Taylor’s doomed plane been discovered in the depths off of Corsica. When discovered, nobody knew what type of plane it was let alone the details of how it got there. This is as much a story of one man’s search for answers to […]
IL-2 Series: Ground Attack and Ship Attack Part I, How to Dive Bomb Page 6
Back To Page 5 What is my favorite dive bombing aircraft in the IL-2 Series? I like the Dauntless. It was probably the most historically significant aircraft of the three types rendered in the game. I know that there are others that might argue this with me but on June 4th 1942 this particular model […]
IL-2 Series: Ground Attack and Ship Attack Part I, How to Dive Bomb Page 5
Back To Page 4 Notice the bombing run I did on the carrier and on the oiler, especially the weapon site view on the Dauntless. Some adjustment was necessary but my general goal is to line up my site on the forward elevator of the intended target, if it is a carrier. I tend […]
IL-2 Series: Ground Attack and Ship Attack Part I, How to Dive Bomb Page 4
Back To Page 3 The other question is the altitude of release. I tend to release at about 3-4 thousand feet. This gives me plenty of time to pull out while nominally putting the bomb on target. You have to make sure that you have plenty of time to retract the dive brakes, climb […]
