    Really, Fishyy, these videos fill me with joy and at the same time, nostalgia for when I was flying in my virtual squad, long ago. Thanking you for the extremely painstaking work you do is little compared to enjoying your work and the skill of your wingmans. It makes me want to dust off my old X-52Pro and go back to virtual skies. Greetings from the bottom of the map, Argentina

    cool to see people keeping a 20 year old game alive and well. Very dope mission+vid
    edit: OOF on the b17 crash landing. I could tell he was going too slow with that much wing area missing. Be better off landing with less flaps+higher throttle and risk overrunning. Hindsight tho! RIP

      @Fishyyy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The game has aged very well and although I only have the official patches on it still is my favourite of the IL-2 series.

    I love going from the chatty bomber crew, talking about the history of the strategic eighth air force and making jokes (cause there's nothing else to do) to the completely dead silent and focused fighters, who you know are all just scanning the skies and retrimming every now and then, lol.

      Agreed, Commemorative Air Force does a few as well with Yankee Lady, just like they do FiFi. Expensive but they go on for a good while. I recall seeing her over EAA almost every hour of the show until sundown.
      She might just do it at airshows tho, not sure.

    that B-17 that crashed on landing....came in too high, not lined up

    Pilot's idea to go around was best

    This was my first Fishyyy video, I watched all 3:38 of it while setting up a guitar. Whoever was calling out the B-17s falling out of formation from flak must have watched real mission film. Will they get back to base? When the B-17 stalled and crashed I was mildly upset like if the movie Memphis Belle ended with the crew killed in a crash.

    I have a question.
    Are those nose art icons custom made or it's the game's ready ones?
    If those are custom I want to know what program you made them on and how you maintain the good quality in low resolution images.
    I tried to make my own by I get big pixels at small images.

      @Fishyyy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      "A bit o'lace", "Beer o'clock high", "Kill Stealer" and "Marcom's lady" were part of their respective skins. We used HD skins and I put the nose arts directly on the skins. Only "Frankie" was a noseart. I generally use "PaintdotNET".

      I was making my own nose art png images and then putting them on the paintskin blending them together in an online Photoshop clone program.
      It works but if you see the art very close you get a bit pixelized images.
      Seeing them from a distance (like you are standing about the 5-10 meters from the plane it looks decent.

      The first B-17 fitted with the Cheyenne tail turret was 43-38473, which was delivered on the 8th of june 1944. There were thousands of Gs delivered before that. Not every proper G had the Cheyenne tail.

    I wish these vids would stop doing that. I lost count of the number of conversations I was tuned in to that cut away mid-sentence instead of waiting for a gap between topics. If we're not supposed to pay attention to the chatter, they may as well just be muted. Also 2:56:15 is a SENSATIONAL shot. Great effort all around, guys. Well done.

      There aren't any that are worthwhile. There simply isn't anything out there to be downloaded that would achieve this level of quality.

    I believe your convergence settings are a bit off. Don't use the default 300. That's too far out. Don't use anything less than 200 cuz mustangs are fast and you need time to pour out enough dps. My sweet spot is around 250. Some of your instances, I could have shredded 190 at those ranges.

    • @Fishyyy
      @Fishyyy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Please don't say "You". You need to be more specific. I had my convergence on 150, so you cannot be talking about me. DF didn't even fire, so you cannot know his convergence either. Guess it must be Marcom or Momo.
      Btw, do have in mind that the bullets in replays go a bit high and only very vaguely look like what we actually saw.

Is there anyone that follows this channel possibly willing to answer a few questions about il2 1946 to help me get up to speed? It’s been about ten years since I’ve played this game, and I’m looking to get a gaming pc or laptop that will allow me to get the best possible performance and look for this and maybe a few other games in the sturmovik line without breaking the bank. I have way to many of the old mods all spliced in to v4.11 I believe, but I know there’s a full 4.12 version of the game available for steam.
