Oil from Other Planes?
« Reply #31 on: March 20, 2004, 11:29:16 PM »
You know, all this talk about what the oil's supposed to look like but it's all from your own plane.  Has anybody noticed if you also get oil from other planes?  I frequently read about that happening.  Some guy would plug the nme and have to break off himself and maybe crash due to getting the nme's oil on his windshield.

Otto Kittel almost didn't get his 190 because of oil spray from an Il2 he shot down.

I agree with your dissagreement :D

Didn't 109s have a fuel-spray to clear off oil gunk from the windshield, when that happens??

Here's a couple pics.  The first shows some minor oil leakage and how the oil streaks back from its point of origin.  The second picture shows a catastrophic oil leak(if you could call it a leak) from what looks like the top cylinder being blown off.  What we want the oil hit effect to look like is something greater than what would be caused by a loose fitting, and something lesser than having your entire oil capacity covering your plane.

Great Jug shot. Remember he landed the sucker. Prolly with his head outside the canopy to see.

Bet ya he was in full "hunch" with his nose an inch from his moniter...

Wasn't it "Secrets of the Luftwaffe" that had oil streaks that progressively covered the wind screen ?? If you flew too long it got to the point where you could no longer see.

If I remember correctly they did a similar thing with engine fires, they just kept getting worse..

Both would be fantastic additions.

LOL, yeah in that jusg shot there is no streaking.   I wonder how long it took to blanket that thing like that?

Actually, if you look closely at the Jug picture, you can see some streaking on the side where a massive quantity of oil didn't dump out.  You can even see it curve with the airflow and the effect of the prop vortex and wing on the airflow down the side of the fuselage.

Yeah, sorry Pyro, I was going for the joke that this guy prolly saw very little streaking, maybe some in the begining, before his canopy was completely blanketed.

Of course there was streaking, I agree.  If that thing was moving it was streaking.

:D
