  1. The C101 is using an SFM right now, its not comparable in any way...

    I know, I know, but it's just an example on how it can be and procedures for it. Heavy WWII fighter indeed should be bad behaved in spins and stalls when in there, even in some conditions a flat spin may be impossible to recover. Anyway I look for some reading and actual pilots say, P-51 at least, is possible to spin and recover nicely. Right now it's something weird and sometimes you cannot get it.

     

    S!

  2. Yesterday I performed some test myself because the weird text in handbook and after reading all this thread. Really it seems turning ON-OFF fuel pumps makes no difference, you only are able to manage fuel using fuel selector. Even I was able to empty rear fuel tank with selector in forward OFF and rear fuel pump also OFF, so only forward pump working but rear tank still is the one emptied. The opposite, fuel selector on both and turning ON/OFF fuel pumps makes no effect and still tanks are both emptied, but as forward is smaller aircraft gets an awkward feeling and CG.

     

    So, you can left alone CB's ON for every fuel pump and just remember to select the rear fuel tank first and when red light is ON select both again. It makes a difference in handling and when rear fuel tank is empty you can "feel" the 190 more 190 than ever with a really nice roll rate like it's supposed to be :thumbup:. Also landing and general behaviour improves vastly, it's a really pleasant aircraft to fly like that.

     

    S!

  3. A bunch of mates and me performed some test about that, one of them also aerobatic pilot (actual Spain's subchampion intermediate level in Z50) and a couple more RL pilots including me. We don't know exactly how to behave. Aerobatic mate who is better trained on subject knows perfectly procedures and he isn't able to get a full developed spin, not to mention making it a flat spin. Anyway it isn't impossible, you can change some conditions, fuel load to change CG, and so, and sometimes you can get a spin but it's really difficult.

     

    I would really like to know real model out of envelope characteristics and if some FM change is expected about that. I think sooner FM's (with P-51 at least) were better at this.

     

    S!

  4. I did it many times and it's pretty well modelled, you can feel the increased drag and you have better control than concrete runway. When a new propeller module is out and people are struggling with it just for taking off I recommend try on the grass until they gain some control. It works!

     

    S!

  5. +10 to all of you fellas, I have to agree with everything stated here!!

     

     

    A pleasure to fly, a joy to your eyes, a challenge for your skills... I'm one of the old WWII fans since ever and FINALLY this is it. All those things you read throughout years, stories and pilot's notes about all those aircraft came to life... you can feel it, you recognize every detail in there, you know what's happening and it matches the thing...

     

    I can't be more happy with all those stuff we are getting now and I can only await eagerly more of it :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:.

     

    Keep the good work on mates.

     

    S!

  6. Flaps are actually working pretty good for me on axis (mapped it to a rotary) - but for the stabilizer I´m also using buttons as those work way better for it than an axis.

    I don't know about a rotary, I set flaps in a saitek quadrant lever, like P-51, and for 109 it works like "buttons", lever up "push the button" up, lever way down "push the button down, with a lot of lever movement useless. Same for trim set in Warthog throttle slider. Weird.

     

    S!

  7. As it is right now it's worthless as an axis. The real aircraft had two buttons at throttle lever and that's the better right now. Same for trim and flaps that right now works like pushing buttons even setted in axis. Annoying feature.

     

    S!

     

    P.S.: anyway overall I love it, an awesome module. What I said looks like I don't... XD

  8. I don't think that's the point in the original discussion Kwiatek, but IMHO DCS is anything but "flying on rails". If you fly a real aircraft you get mostly same reactions and movements you see inside DCS. Well, I don't know a warbirds, but the ones I have flown so I guess the same for those high powered machines.

     

    S!
