Hello,
Welcome to my channel. On this channel you can expect videos of WWII air combat simulation action from IL-2 Sturmovik. The story will be told from a ground attack or bomber pilot's perspective. I will fly on both sides; Axis and Allies. As you will witness; all does not go well for me without fighter protection or proper planning.
Enjoy!
Mansura Idol
Additional Background:
I grew up in south Louisiana and flew seaplanes in the oilfields conducting sales and service calls in both Cessna 180 and Cessna 185. I began my career as a drilling fluids engineer (mud engineer) and later moved into sales (tired of living offshore) where I was based in Houma, Louisiana.
I was first diagnosed with Leukemia (CLL) in October 2018 and have suffered severe blood clotting issues since then. I have experienced a partial loss of vision in both eyes in January 2022 with my 2nd stroke; that was the end of my fighter pilot career. Now, I fly bombers.

Our section's (Ketta 3) mission was to deliver supplies (ammo) to the front lines near Kalach. It did not go well; another mission with my lead that ends in a disaster. No one survived? Short and sweet, I hope that you enjoy the show (carnage); Idol

Well, this was my 1st time leading a mission and it did not end well for me? I died prior to the attack run so there is no footage of bombs going off or the flight home. When I die the camera stops rolling in ~20 seconds. I'm not sure that I will allowed a 2nd opportunity to lead? I hope that you enjoy the show. Idol

What is FTC? What game is this? IL-2 Sturmovik?
Game is IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad. FTC is a historical "reenactment" community where we fly historical missions every Sunday, based on real events, but not to any script. Just setting up the same (or similar) scenarios as the real pilots flew and then seeing how well we can do ourselves.
Well, that was an unfortunate encounter.
Yes and we never had that kind of opportunity with the Raiders?
Sorry; the Hogs!
nice formation
Nice you got sortie 1 I got sortie 2.
I saw that
Unusually short video ;)
Yes; we didn't last long?
My first mission! So excited to be a raider!
Welcome aboard!
Excellent video Idol.
Thanks, but did we miss an opportunity for you to become a star?
Is this DCS? Enjoyed watching the organized comms and mission that I have watched.
No, it's IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad. But thanks for the compliment. I was one of the escorts.
DCS is nowhere near this fun and beautiful
<seems trite, but did any Ju-52 pilots survive world war two!?>
I have no idea?
Most definitely - the JU52 was a very common plane and many pilots survived.
Franz Stigler started WW2 as a Ju-52 pilot ended the war as a pilot of a Me262, he swapped over to fighters after his brother died in his Bf110
We're those IAR-80 B or C variants they looked have the 13.2mm machine guns installed or possibly the 20mm
@@davidhobson7652 According to the game they are "A" and "B" variants. They are a collector plane; I don't have it but I have all of our skins downloaded for the videos.
That was a great Raiders mission and well portrayed here Idol. Those Yaks really focused on you after our successful attack.
Yes, just the luck of the draw?
Sheesh, that flak was brutal!
Yes, you should have been there?
@@mansuraidol4406 I wanted to be? But the flak had other intentions - I was vaporized by it.
I'm wondering how I made it back home. My kette was all shot down by AAA!!!
Well, you did attack a separate target? Yes, they were close together or maybe you just got lucky?
@@mansuraidol4406 I just got lucky. All AAA concentrated fire on aircraf ahead. 1-1 was down fist, 1-2 next after him. I was 1-3 so when it was my turn to be hit, I was far enough. Never thought flying a tail charly can be safest place in formation :)
Wow! Nice video! More radio comms during attack runs can make it even better!
Thanks; I try my best.
👍👍👍
OMG Grown men playing little kids games. And, if this was real, you idiots would not be so happy about it. Getting killed means nothing in a kiddie game. You die, log off then download porn. In real life, your guts are splattered all over the cockpit and you see yourself slowing bleed out in REAL pain.
Very nice. Keep'em coming!
New Mexico air force 1942
My grandmother's brother flew 88's in the eastern front. Even was shot down. Survived the war and died two years after it ended in a car accident.
It's amazing how many people die in car accidents?
Great video Idol. It was all going well until those pesky P40s turned up. The escort got stuck into them by the look of it.
Thanks but my 1st command did not end well?
@@mansuraidol4406you got the Raiders to the target and many got home.
P-40 with tac-code 27 here. *wave*. Your escort intercepted my group from our low 10, right as me and my wingman was coming head-on onto the bombers. Unfortunately for you, I didn't even notice them, until my group called out, so I wasn't deterred. My wingman and I managed to pass right by them and onto your 1 o'clock as the rest of our group was forced to abort. Your escort did then indeed kill my wingman, who was unable to bail out due to injuries. I myself was able to dive away, only to be shot and forced to bail a few minutes later. Very nicely edited video as always! 👍
@@kasperjensen8676 Thanks so much! I try my best.
More pc generated crap.
Another great video. That was really cool to see the plane with only one engine remaining, making it back to the airstrip.
Thanks! Yes, I was able to feather the prop and make it back.
We got to watch y’all land while we were taxiing from our Stukas. It was a nice touch.
Thanks!
0:00
Raiders doing great things as always!!
We try our best, it doesn't always work out?
Woo! I do like the He111 but it's nice to see a different face! I just wished they'd add my beautiful Italian Tri motors :( Would love to see the Sm.79 in game one day!
Yes; that would be nice.
@@mansuraidol4406 The Romanians operated an SM79 with two Jumo engines.
Nice to see the prop on the dead engine properly feathered. Seems a bit rare on other channels.
Yes, and it does make a difference. It was little bit of a handful as I slowed down to land. Left the flaps up.
Well done making it back in that last one!
Thanks! I was a little lucky though?
Well done. Colors look nice. Have you applied some color correction in video editor?
Yes; based upon your recommendations I raised my Gamma Correction to 0.9 in the game as a baseline. This allows me to raise my "exposure" corrections to 0.5-1.0 typically in Adobe Premiere Pro depending on the lighting. I also add "contrast" and a little bit of "white lighting". It does looks better to my eyes?
brilliant
Thanks so much!
Very nice! Fond memories of "Bomber Night!" on the old Warbirds of Prey servers 10 years ago.
Thanks, I try my best.
How did you do dogfight with outside camera.
In game play you are in the cockpit of your plane. But when you playback the track files (recordings) you can view from any plane within your camera range (~5-6k).
Another cool video, good work.
Thanks! I try my best.
Any Italian Tri motor bombers in game? I love my Italian Tri motors! imo most aesthetically pleasing aircraft of ww2.
What? No Romanian Typhoons? Still very well done. Some of those tree smacks looked survivable, so still a “good landing.”
Well, it depends of your definition of what "good" is?
@@mansuraidol4406 The classic: “Any landing you can walk away from.”
Go Romanian Air Force! Nice tight formation, excellent bombing, great editing (which makes it good to watch even though the interceptors did not come out to play). You seem to be making these primarily for your group. Good news, since WW2 flight sim content gets about as much traction on TH-cam as bald tires in Maine in January. And I want this stuff to keep coming.
Thanks! Yes, I primarily make these videos for the Flying Tin Cans; on occasion I will make a video of my adventures on the public (WOL, Combat, Finnish) servers if the action is worthy.
how to contact you? do you have a website? discord?
flyingtincans.com/en/
Guys! What server are you flying on? And what time?
We have our own server. The missions are at 2:00 PM on Sunday EDT.
Nice to see Romania get some props!
Yes; something different.
I enjoyed watching it. Nice story telling approach.But I'd very like that visual footage will be improved in upcoming video (just need more divers camera points of view).
What is "divers" camera?
@@mansuraidol4406 I'm sorri. I miss one letter. I mean "more diversE camera".
@@FlyingRostic Okay, now I understand? Let's see what I come up with next time?
Great hits!
Thanks! Yes, we did good.
Nice work Idol
Thanks! I try my best.
A great video of our first mission in our new campaign Idol. Well done mate!
Thanks! And we all survived!
@@mansuraidol4406 That was a pleasant outcome to M1
Whaddayamean, no comments? This is good stuff. Bf-110, another plane I like but found impossible to play solo on multiplayer servers.
Kinda wrecked that place, but good ol’ Ivan strolling through the inferno like it was a walk in the park. (Only a slightly bad-ish day for a Russian.) On another note, it looked like Hans in the back was earning his Gefreiter pay with his MG-34 or 41 or whatever.
If I remember correctly, upper cowl flaps used to be an aerodynamic issue for these planes. Did they tune that out? (Or am I just wrong.)
At 10:00: that is a small “break bulk” freighter. Cargo hatches, no cargo piping on deck. (U.S. Coast Guard experience rarely comes into play in this game.)
Okay, those bombs will skip if you get low enough.
All good until the ship's mast renders in the last second?
Sitting Duck Flotte! Start your engines! (Oops, too late.) To be sure, even just drifting, these are small targets.
At 10:55: cancel my comment on another video about quicker bomb fuses for ship attacks. Turns out not to be such a great idea.
No problem
Good luck getting the Germans to replace those lost Romanian Heinkels.
“Unknown Enemy” had a field day. Nice editing, as usual. Wide format, but not quite “cinematic,” I believe. Works well. Good illustration of how lucky an unescorted He-111 crew has to be to survive a mission, not to mention have a ride all the way back to the airfield.
This was not an official mission so there we no After Action Reports for me to confirm the pilots identity and I have not learned everybody's new plane identity?
