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.

Well, the Raiders are back in the Mosquito's this time. Yes, we had some success but we also suffered some losses. I did not have the cameras up and running on time for the attack and we had some separation between sections; thanks to fellow Raider "McRane" for the footage so I could include everyone. I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

We have two (2) sorties to present here; the 1st one is with the Mosquito and the 2nd sortie is with the P-38 Lightning. I highlight individual bomb runs in the 1st sortie and a "Free" camera ground footage for the attack in the 2nd sortie. Sorry, no enemy action in either sortie? I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

We had almost total carnage in the 2nd mission; it was a good day for the Axis powers!

Two (2) sorties to present here; in the 1st sortie we are in a Typhoon Mk 1b and the 2nd mission in our reliable Douglas A-20. There is no enemy interference but I do show the individual strike runs in the Typhoon mission. We conducted a level-bombing attack in the A-20's so I just show the effect on the target. I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

The Raiders are on a dive-bombing mission in P-38 Lightnings. I'm still having trouble with the export settings, there is one (1) blurry scene, a few seconds. I was not going to make this video but please give credit to "Wonderbread" for his encouragement for the embarrassing ending; I accept full responsibility. I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

Well, we are back up in the air but this was a treacherous mission; the entire Raider squadron were shot down. We attempted to perform level-bombing and we enjoyed escort coverage but the Axis pilots had their day in their Fw-190 "Butcher Bird"! Fellow Raider "Rostic" has been working with me on my recording/production settings; this is my first video in 4K! I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

Well, we have something new/different to present. No bombing or combat scenes; the Raiders (plus a few friends) are flying C-47's and performing a cargo drop of supplies for the invasion troops on the Normandy front. I also have modified my game settings to hopefully improve the experience. I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

Well, it's been a couple of months since my last movie so it was time to relearn the software. We have a new campaign, Normandy 1944; this is Mission 2. We conduct a low-level attack on German positions with good success and without enemy intervention. I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

Well, this was a tough campaign for the Raiders and for me as well. We experienced up to 75% losses on some missions; it at times was not pretty. So, I'm attempting to tell our story and struggles during the Channel Front campaign. Short and bittersweet with only background music that hopefully sets the tone. I hope that you enjoy the show; Idol

Well, I lost my connection just after takeoff in the A-20 mission; no movie of that sortie. So, this is our 2nd sortie of the day but from the Axis side in Ju 88's. We hit the Allied ships pretty good; I hope that you enjoy the show, Idol

Two (2) sorties in this production but this time I switch sides for the second mission. Two (2) missions and yes, two (2) deaths. As you know when I die the recording stops so no return home and no landings. Let's just say it was a tough day? I hope that you enjoy the show (carnage); Idol

This was our 2nd mission for the day; our 1st mission was an early morning strike with limited vision for anything (including a movie). I had to add some brightness/contrast in the editing just to make this sortie viewable? I did not include any individual bombing runs, just some "free" camera footage.

Some of you need to go back to flight training....
Maybe so?
@@mansuraidol4406 I've watched many of your videos and that was unusual. Probably had a few too many before the mission. War is hell....
That was disastrous. Don't your pilots know that airplanes are allergic to trees?. Back to school for you lot I think
Well, we like to get close?
Thank you, nice video! Is it old “IL-2 1946” with some mod pack?
No, it's just regular IL2; FTC has its own server and we have a group of volunteers who plan the missions.
We don't like this at FTC - We LOVE it!
Thanks; I try my best!
Newton struck back ;)
Yes, he did
Man, I really need a new microphone...
?
@@mansuraidol44060:14 I guess?
typhoons are such unique airplanes with that massive bulge and slight gull wings. i quite like them
Well, maybe for you but it is not quite my cup of tea?
Thanks Idol. With the AARs and your videos I’m able to keep with Raider’s exploits while away.
My pleasure!
Well done! I just do not see action over second target. AA fire was quite intense there. I thought you were there too.
@@FlyingRostic I was there but everyone was already out of rockets and I was out of ammo as well so with only four (4) of us there I decided to just leave it out?
Another nice video. You guys definitely braved the AAA on this sortie.
Thanks, but nobody said we were the sharpest knives in the drawer?
That was a tough mission!
Yeah, but that is the way we roll!
Another excellent video Idol. Well done!
Thanks so much!
Happy to see all those happy returns back to base. Cocktail hour!
Yes, but an even better movie script would have the Raiders escorted by Hog Sounder, be intercepted by the bad guys, and yet we all make it home!
Another fabulous video of the Raiders exploits Idol. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much!
Great video again Idol!! Please keep them coming.
Thanks so much!
I love the Mozzie, but boy. They really lose energy fast, both in Il2 and DCS (so I assume it's realistic). I find I get one, and if I'm lucky and already have a lot of energy, maybe two hard turns before I gotta get more - by climbing or at least flying straight for a while. If I don't, I find myself falling out of the sky a lot. Taking the time to get more energy/speed/altitude is easier said than done when you have a 109 on your tail!
All true?
109s chanced on them.
Oh man, that mosquitoe sortie was a massacre!
Your telling me!
Game name ?
IL2 Sturmovik
❤
EPIC
Thanks!
Poor Hanswind
Yes, I've done that as well? I always pull the power back when you dive that thing?
Yeah, we've all done it at least once. One must be very careful when recovering from a dive in the Typhoon.
Cherbourb has that little flak in 44?
Все бомберы потеряли.В совецкой армии в вов под требунал бы пошли.эх вы,имтребители.
How does this happen :D P-38s are hard to miss.
Well, as a result of my second stroke (Jan, 22) I've had a permanent loss of vision in both eyes at the 1:00 & 2.00 position. Maybe I shouldn't be flying at all but I try?
@@mansuraidol4406nah just keep going. I mean There are always two in a collision.
@@SheriffsSimShackWell, that is a true statement; thanks!
Good shit! Glad I could make an appearance at the very end lol
Nice video. Sad incident in the end, similar to one happened in my last P38 mission.
Hi Rostic, Kurse here. What happened in your last mission? I'm trying to gather data on the accidents we've had lately so we can fix whatever the problem is.
@@JonRattlehead pilot behind was landing right after me but did not noticed that his aircraft throttles stuck at 40% power instead of go down to 0%. So, he just rammed in to me while I was standing on runway giving a priority for aircraft ahead to taxi out off runway. He was on the left from me and was taxing out to the right crossing my taxing trajectory.
Oh no! That was one of my guys you collided with at the end. Do you think nav-lights would have prevented the catastrophe?
Wonderbread had his on; I didn't?
What server is this?
We (FTC) have our on server that runs during the campaign on Sunday afternoon, eastern time.
Was it Multiplayer ?
Yes; FTC stands for "Flying Tin Cans". We get together on Sunday afternoon/evenings; I think we have maybe 120 players from all over the world and maybe 60+ players on at any single point in time. flyingtincans.com/en/
Yeah... what game is this? That would be really, really useful info to share...
IL2 Sturmovik

Well done! Nice video.
Well, it was quite the technical struggle? I finally could generate a clean video. Glad that it is over!
Oooof! That was brutal!
Tell me about it?
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
What is the name of the game?
IL-2 Sturmovik, Great Battles
Going extensively through a pre takeoff check list …like an actual flight? You do realise you are sitting in front of a television screen
Are you sure about that?
nice video bro
Thanks so much!
Well done Idol and Raiders!
Thanks; we try!
Nice video, Idol!
Thanks!
Cool, I could only imagine what you could do if the B25 or B26 had been developed in playable modules.
Yes, that would be cool!
Great vid Idol!
Thanks, I try my best!
So epic!
So happy that you liked it!
Great time thanks for having me on this one #blessed
Thank you; our pleasure!
Horsepower and nylon, gotta love it!
What a combination!
Very cool!
Yes, it was different!
Nice one, Idol!
Thanks; I try my best!
Well done!
Thanks for your assistance!
That's one way doing gardening I guess :D
No reason to waste aviation fuel?
Great video Idol!! Also, those skins look fantastic 😍
That is Rostic's handiwork; I will let him know. Thanks, I try my best!
Great video! I really enjoyed the overhead view of the strike. It was nice to see all the Raiders come home for a change.
Thanks for the feedback on the "overhead" view; I may start using it when it is appropriate?
