DB 605

Tough guys indeed...tougher than mustang wing :worthy:

Another landing: :megalol:

Nice! :) As G2's were marked as MT-2xx series, G6's MT-4xx, how about making this one MT-601?

Thanks! Flaps usually about 15-20 degrees. Trim 2 (full nose-heavy) until they fix it.

Here's mine: Couple notes: it is possible to take-off with or without flaps and prop pitch on auto or manual. I use flaps and manual just because i like to do it real way :) Also you can slam full throttle right away, just remember to lock tailwheel and keep tail on ground until you hit 100 km/h. That way lack of rudder authority will not be problem.

Another nice skin coming, lookin forward to it :thumbup:

Kürfurst is so beautifully modelled that for me it's pretty damn impossible to stop just looking at it :)

Dora was less perfect yes but DCS 109 3d model is best in any sim so far. It just look so right from any angle. I don't even have to compare it to any drawings to know that :)

Yep, apart from trim issue i can't find anything wrong with t/o and landings. With some training it is easy as any plane, there is just almost zero margin of error, just like irl pilot reports.

Yeah, altough british ones were not too bad either...:D:D

"Damn, i don't think that'll buff out..."

Looks perfect to me.

German aircraft paints of that era is know to have semi-gloss finish when fresh, not full matte. In K4 first teaser video it looks like there is more gloss in paint, so maybe EDGE will adress this.

I haven't seen one here so why not to start one... Testing JSTs great new skin:

Probably just missing because of beta.

It looks great thank you! Weathering is very nice. I noticed flap indicator markings are missing, is this intentionally? Spinner spiral also looks bit weird in motion but so do stock ones so it's not really problem. Hopefully there is lot more skins coming from you :)

Yeah, there's lots of pilots stories about dive recovery, here's another: "Me 109 G: "- The vertical dive was how to disengage. Jussi Huotari: That was the remedy. Antti Tani: That is how I survived when attacking two of them and losing the first round. They had more speed because I was coming from a lower altitude. It was nothing special, the (Yak-9) planes were climbing and began to turn back. I had planned to get to shoot at them as they have lost their speed in the turn. But I was not in the right position. I turned at them and pulled the nose up - and I lost my speed, I had to turn below them. I had to push the stick to get behind them, and as they dived at me I dived right down. I turned with ailerons a couple of times, and had full power on. Then I started recovery from the dive, of course in the direction of home, then checked the dials, the reading was eight hundred plus kmh. Then I started pulling the stick, pulled harder as hard as ever: never in my life did I pull so hard. I pulled with right hand and tried to trim the horizontal rudder with my left hand. But it did not budge, as if it had been set in concrete. But by the by the nose began to rise, but terribly slowly. As my angle was about 45 I heard over the radio as Onni Paronen said, "hey lads, look, a Messerschmitt is going in the sea!" I wanted to answer back but I could not afford to do anything put pull with two hands. As soon as I had returned to level flight and had been able to breath normally for a while, I in a way regained consciousness. I pushed the transmitter key and said "not quite". It was a close shave. - It was so hard that you almost blacked out? Antti Tani: I felt I was on the edge, pulling as hard as I ever could." - Antti Tani, Finnish fighter ace. 21,5 victories.

One of the very first tests i made when first version of open beta was out, was couple of dive tests. I climbed to around 5000 meters, trimmed plane to full nose heavy and dived steep around to 1500 meters. Speed was 850+ km/h and i almost crashed because plane was refused to straighten up. In hurry i trimmed the plane to tail heavy again and was able to save plane. I tought finally, finally we have 109 that flews exactly like we can read those pilot memories and flight tests. I tried to reproduce this again today, climbed to 7000 meters, trimmed to nose heavy and dived steep. For my disappointment, i was easily able to recover (speed was close to 900km/h) even with full nose heavy trim and was able to easily hit more that 7 g's until wings broke up. I made test again couple of times and result was always same. I know wings broke too easily now but i really don't think it should be possible to pull that much g's at almost 900km/h speed with full nose heavy trim. I know were still in beta and many things will change but feels weird if FM is tuned to "wrong" way already. Anyone else noticed this?

Tail seems to lift very easily when plane is parked on ground. I noticed i was not able to hit 2000rpm without lifting tail off from ground, even trimmed to tail heavy and pulling from stick. Prop pitch set to 12.00. I don't have original K4 manual but in finnish G6 manual it says that in trial run before taxi and take off, engine should run at 2600rpm/1.30ata (prop at 12.00)to check it makes full power. It seems to be impossible now, is this known problem?

No, it is in manual by default in a cold start mission. Look at control setting and assign buttons to flick it to auto or manual.

^ :lol: But i agree with OP, canopy is definitely too dirty now.

No it would not. Only maybe if your engine is at idle and mustang would fly very close of your plane at full power... Agreed there mate, i always got goosebumps from those videos :) Awesome sound!

Sorry but pilot accounts are not very reliable sources when talking about aircraft capability. It could well be exactly other way round, if some german ace would talk about shooting down the P-51 with average pilot in controls of it...

No it's not a mod, ED fixed it in some of the latest updates. Edit, didn't noticed rrohde's answer...

Take it easy, i was joking :D Of course your opinion is as worhty as mine, and i don't want pretend to be any kind of Daimler-benz expert. I don't think current sounds need to scrapped and totally redone, they need quite lot's of tweaking and remix but i do believe proper sounds may be there under the other noise. It's just my honest opinion that i can't hear much similarity between current DCS and youtube video those fly-by sounds for example.
