I was hoping to have some pics for you all on the cockpits , still working on that. But basically i wanted all who are invloved in tonites training to familiarize yourselves with whichever plane that you fly's cockpit. We'll all sit in the cockpit , zoom in , and refer to the cockpit pictures , give them a once over, i.e the important ones. fuel, Temp, inclinometer, and a few others that myself arent that familiar with. And i know it gets to sounding old, but practice makes perfect, We should have an iterim scrim again. With of course , using the proper procedures as far as tactical runway and radio procedures, followed by whatever tactical doctorine that is pre-ordained by the flight leadr prior to take off. Hope i wasnt to long winded, but the scrim practice to me is the all important issue to me as far as accomplishing victories against other units.

Sorry guys, looks like I have more progs to re-install, I tried to make up those pics, but I cant open my IL-2 captures in anything anymore. And with finals starting in the morning. . .  however, these should suffice for the time being, if I find one for the 190 and 109 I will post it.http://www.sturmovik101.com/Reference/cockpits/click on the images that say reference. . .there is an LA5, a lagg and the p-39S!TX-EcoDragon

It's ok M8 , here are a few of the more popular plane cockpits.il2 cockpit109 cockpit190 cockpityak 9p 39Let me know if this was any help at all.S~TX-TornadoBlue 3TO

OK. . these are JPEGS, so I can dl them and edit then repost I think. . . S!

Sure, not a problem at all Eco, and i certainly am very thankful of any help that you provide for me !!! S~TX-TornadoBlue 3TO

using non- type specific names for simplicityFor the 1091: compass and waypoint indicator:use outer ring to determine heading, buy looking at the tick mark at the 12-o oclock position. Determine bearing to next waypoint buy look at inner airplane looking needle.2. Artificial Horrizon/Attitude indicator:emulates out the window view to provide pitch and roll information when in clouds, fog, or when the natural  horizon is out of sight. The vertical bar is a tun indicator which you can pretty much ignore. The black ball at the bottom indicates if the airplane is slipping, skidding, or in coordinated flight. If the ball is deflected to the right, use right rudder to bring it to the center. Normally you dont need to fixate on this, but rather get used to simultaneously applying rudder with aileron when rolling into or out of banks, and use the ball to verify that you are using the proper amount. (of limited importance in IL-2)3. Manifold pressure gauge:displays pressure within the manifold, indicates engine power generation.(note clock just above, but not really useable)4. Altimeter:look at whole number values in the window at bottom to determine alt in thousands of meters, look at radial needle to determine alt in hundredsso if you see a 2 in the window, and the needle is halfway between 4 and 5 you  are at 2,450 meters5. Airspeed indicator in k/mh6. engine tachometer7. prop pitch/governor indicator(just use shift Zero and forget about it)8. Oil temp (engine temp)in 109 overheat is near the 100 mark (forgot exactly)9. fuel quantityfuel level in 1/8 increments, note the light comes on at 1/8 tank.For the FW-1901. Airspeed indicator (with handy gradations)2. Attitude indicator/Artificial Horizon3. V.S.I (vertical speed indicator)In the 190 this is measured in meters/second. If the needle is deflected above the 0, and pointing at five you are climbing at 5 meters per second etc.(p-39 also has a nice VSI, but it indicates feet per minute, and is calibrated in thousands)4. Compass and waypoint indicator5. Manifold pressure gauge6. Altimeter7. Fuel and oil pressure8. Oil temp (engine temp)9. Fuel quantity10. Propeller pitch11. Tachometer12. green lights by throttle quadrant, indicates Landing gear down and locked13. ClockS!TX-EcoDragonP.S. I will try to buz onto GV real quick tonight, to elaborate or answer any questions.
