DB 605

What bug are you talking about? Haven't played il2 for a while.

Thanks for posting these up. :thumbup:

Very interesting, thanks for posting them. Could these changes caused the "over sensitive feeling" on stick at high altitudes, as some pilots said on interviews?

Yes, unfortunately. IL2 BOS early acces opens next week, will be interesting to see how good FM they have, thought there's no clickpits etc.

Agreed, there's no way i would play sims without ffb anymore. I have tried few times.

Couple scans from JaPo "Messerschmitt Bf 109 K" book, showing differences between early and late model and landing gear structure.

That's very possible with main wheel covers but i've read that tail wheel was fixed to down position in field at many cases because of problems with it caused by poor conditions of airfields etc. Gavagai, Prien & Rodeike book is good but contains some out-dated information by now. JaPo books "Messerschmitt Bf 109 K", "Messerschmitt Bf 109 K camouflage & markings" are very good in my opinion.

From what i have read, mainwheel cover removal and fixed (long) tailwheel were field mods. There's also few ones fitted with G-type short tailwheel but they should be very rare.

Any sources for that?

Exactly. :thumbup:

Well Spit IX is a bit slower and less good at climb but it still have advantage at turnfight. K4 and D9 being about equal to allied planes, only Me 262 will have real advantages against allies but it will have some disadvantages too.

Yes, see table in my edited post #8. :)

Yes, thats the case with DC version. With DB 605 DB it was possible to use MW 50 with B4. Here's good table from "Messerschmitt Bf 109's of JG 52 in Deutsch Brod" (JaPo)

Really? I thought MW 50 was confirmed to D9? But if that's the case i'll be pleased without DC version too :)

Thanks, that was indeed the idea of this topic: information to those who are interested :book: Here's short quote from wikipedia: "The final production version of the Bf 109 was the K series, or "Kurfürst", introduced in the autumn of 1944, powered by the DB 605D engine with up to 2,000 PS (1,973 HP). Though externally akin to the late production Bf 109G series, a large number of internal changes and aerodynamic improvements were incorporated that improved its effectiveness and remedied existing flaws, keeping it competitive with the latest Allied and Soviet fighters.[/url]The Bf 109's outstanding rate of climb was superior to all Allied adversaries including the P-51D Mustang, Spitfire Mk. XIV and Hawker Tempest Mk. V" So even it looks a lot like earlier versions it's actually pretty much different animal. For example it had recratable tailwheel, fully covered landing gears, flettners on ailerons (it's not known how many K's actually have them as earlier G-type ailerons was used too).

Awesome sound of DB 605 D: http://youtu.be/CnpC_BcK7xY http://youtu.be/yeyRoyLxqXU (my fav part starts about 42:00 :))

I think it's time to start own topic for this great fighter. 109 is my favourite fighter of WW2 and K4 is "the ultimate" version of it. I think it was great choice from devs even it's a bit late model for normandy, as now we should be able to fight pretty much equally against any allied fighter. G6 or 14 would have suffer too much in this late war company. Of course i hope they will come later as add-ons :) Anyways, with two 13mm machine guns and one 30mm cannon it could be very deadly plane in hands of skilled pilot, and with MW 50 methanol-water injection it should be able to outclimb any fighter out there (well spitfire XIV should be about equal AFAIK). Question for devs: judging by cockpit screenshot (wich looks awesome btw) engine will be DB 605 DB with 1.80 ata/ 1800hp, will there be DC version with C3 fuel and 2000hp's available too?

First screenshot and quote "The 109 is still scheduled to be the first new RRG plane to be completed, in time for the closed alpha." WOhoo! Great times ahead, no doubt about it. Thanks for update!

Exactly. And how many minutes it would take to write for example: "Hello folks, too busy to make update today, will be back next week/month/year? Would definitely be better than total silence... I know he really is busy and i can live without updates but please no more empty promises :)

Another day without update i guess...:no_sad:

Great :thumbup:

Most probably there will be MW 50: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1877891&postcount=12
