IL2 Sturmovik 1946 - Operation Bodenplatte: Virtual Reenactment 64 Years After the Real Mission
updated
As an attendee of the Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Event at Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum at McMinnville, Oregon, USA, I had the opportunity to record some footage with my small and fully protected DJI Avata drone.
Since the moment I knew I was going to be here I trained for more than a month for this kind of flights and planned everything, from legal documents to distances to angles, and specially safety and reliability of the equipment. On the site, I flew one entire battery just checking the technical viability of the planned shots and safety of the flight before unfolding everything I've trained for.
This is a small edit of a few flights around the Fulcrum.
I was cleared to fly a small drone here by the management of the museum and have all the FAA stuff for recreational and even professional flying, including insurance and green led on the back of the drone. This recording was not the reason for me to be here, just had the opportunity, so nobody requested this video to me and it’s a recreational “fan movie” that I dedicate to th iconic Fulcrum, for the pure love to aviation.

Thanks to Parc Aeronàutic ede Catalunya for the special and valuable allowance for my previous training, flying very close to historical aircraft in indoor spaces of their museums.
Thanks to Ruben Marquez, my on site visual observer, for his patience and good job!
And of course, any many many thanks to anyone involved in inviting me to attend the great Microsoft Flight Simulator event! Without your effort this video would not have been possible!

I consider myself a medium fpv racing pilot, not wining, but not the last in the general qualifications. In fact with my 5" Racing quad, my 4 lap best time was only 30 second faster than this.
My thoughts are at the end, it's just my personal oppinion...
Those who say the Avata is only a whoop and we are wrong for pushing it beyond slow flight are missing a lot of fun, just because the drone can fly that way... if you can.
Enjoy!
He appeared at a local training session (Lligueta) with his DRL racer, so I've tried to pursuit him in race and fly in formation with him in the field with my DJI Avata. I know it's a bitt too much for the small Avata, I know it's not intended for so many action, but it can fly like this and this is the result.
No scenes had been accelerated; the race images are at natural 1x speed and the flight in formation are at 0,5x speed, slowed down. I'm sorry I had no filters yet, no availability at that moment.
Enjoy!
Nice challenge, still improving, just my first time!
Also nice that this track is Circuit de Catalunya, my local track, where it's very difficult to fly due to permissions and other legal issues. No permissions to manage in a simulator! ;)
Song: Two Steps From Hell "Protectors Of The Earth"
Enjoy!

Finally decided to not forget what I've been flying that day.
I dedicate this slow and calmed flight, with deep feelings, to my father, the best engineer in my world.

After years fighting for this, another dream came true, so remember, if you like it, if you really want it, you can. Fight for it! :)
De los tres programas que volé, el último fue en realidad un entrenamiento para lo que meses después iba a volar en real en el Campeonato de España de Vuelo Acrobático, cuyas imágenes también se han incluido al final del vídeo. Creo que en algo me debió ayudar el entrenamiento virtual en el VFAT!
Disfrutad!
Also, at the end there's the real program I flew six monts later in the spanish championship, wich was the same as the third program I flew in VFAT.
Enjoy!
