    Hi and I am glad to be back in the pilot seat

    Hi

    Been able to get online again (since not flying for a few years). I currently fly under KG66_Manta or Manta and really enjoy flying bombers more than fighters.

    Have been getting my head around engine management but am looking forward to jumping on line regularly. Really enjoying Blitz and having 70 people on a server

    Cheers

    Hi Manta!

    Welcome back and nice to hear you are enjoying it. Also welcome to the ATAG forum and this awesome community we have.

    TFS have made a superb sim with 'Blitz' and we all look forward to more in the future.

    Keep practicing the CEM and if you have any questions you can ask on this forum or on Team Speak for help.

    Re: Hi and I am glad to be back in the pilot seat

    Hi Manta...

    Before I make my world famous welcome post to you (below)...I'd just like to ask that if you like CLOD and BLITZ then its a good idea to leave a positive review (in any language) in the STEAM forum...That way we will get to see more of what the TFS have to offer in the future...It helps keep THE DREAM ALIVE!...

    ...Lew...

    Welcome to the Community and Forums Manta...~S~



    Checkout the 'Beginners Guide'...for info and tips...It will save you a heap of time in getting up to scratch.....and its a really fun learning curve too...

    Beginners Guide

    Windows Management Guide

    Also try youtube for startup procedures on all the aircraft...

    I recommend getting in the online server as soon as you can take off if that's ultimately where you'd like to fly...I flew single player for 30 minutes before I took the plunge...The ATAG online server is a great environment to learn and there's not really any damage you can do in there as a new player.....It is also mission based just with real players trying to foil your objectives...If you are concerned then pick an airstrip furthest from the front line (there always is one or two on every map) and get some alt before you go hunting...You'll get tagged a lot but there are tricks you learn out of pure desperation in those first few weeks that you'll be able to use later...I know cos I still use the same tricks I learned then too because they work...and never underestimate the stall to get you out of a tight fix...That sometimes works too...

    TeamSpeak is optional but you'll learn a whole lot faster with it even if you say very little once you are on the server...You are quite welcome to just listen if you feel more comfortable with that....so you don't actually need a mic either...Try it and see!


    Here are a few fun, helpful and interesting links amongst these forums you might want to bag for future reference...

    Most Watched CLOD Videos

    Easy Allied CEM for New Players

    Joystick and Hardware Thread

    ATAG Forum Age Poll Results

    Nvidea Control Panel Settings

    Contact spotting is massively important in any flight sim...Seeing that enemy before he sees you is a race you don't want to be second in...Check this link to see if you can tweak your rig any better...

    Contact Spotting Test

    Don't forget to keep up with the latest on the TeamFusion new aircraft and patch news...You could well be AMAZED!

    TeamFusion Facebook Updates

    And finally...Please take the time to have a read of some of the stories of military family adventures by a few of the members of this forum...and maybe share yours with us...~S~

    Any questions then you've come to the right place....

    Good to have you with us buddy...and remember its all about the Fun!!!

    ...Lew...

    ===================================

    Any UK members please let us know where abouts in the UK you are...Just for reference...Its always good to know just incase there happen to be folks who can help you or you can help locally...buy a joystick from or even just a chat in a pub with someone who is likeminded...

    Thanks...~S~

    Thank you so much and am glad to be here.

    Had a fly last night in spitfire (easier CEM) and had a blast, got shot down but was fun

    ha !... do it all the time !! (get shot diown)

    that easy CEM

    go with the 85% prop pitch (2,800rpm)

    Forget the 75% radiator though. Go with about 40%

    water temps around 100 celcius which is what you want. 110 is ok too... then start to worry.



    Since Blitz launched I've been running mainly at about 40% rad ... down as low at mid 20's depending on altitude. 40 is my set and forget... within reason
