Today in OPEMBETA v. 1.2.14, ...wings are breaking at same way ...is a shame

Dear Developers: All Bf-109 from G to K engined with Daimler-Benz DB-605, was equipped with electric-inertia starter motor and crank coupling for back-up. All DB-605 was equiped with this "Schwungkraftanlasser" (inertia starter)with electric throwing motor. "Schwungkraftanlasser" inertia starter used on the Junkers Jumo 211/213 and Daimler-Benz DB603/605 aircraft angines. It could be used in conjunction with a "Anlasswagen" which was a gas-powered generator that would plug in the socket (usually located on the starboard side of the aircraft) and provide enough amps to crank the electric motor on the starter over when the starter handle was depressed until the internal flywheel had reached sufficient velocity and then the starter handle would be quickly pulled, engaging the "Kuppelmagnet" solenoid which would engage the engine and spin it over. Otherwise the starter could be hand-cranked by ground personnel until it was spinning fast enough and engaged using the same method of pulling the starter handle. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ww2-luftwaffe-inertia-engine-starter-429251498 All Bf-109 G to K can start the engine autonomously just like this Bf-109 G4 ${1}

First impression. The tail feels heavy, the trim does not work properly But she is a powerfull fighter...

where are the automatic slats??

ummm Basicaly, the Bf-109K4 pisses in the P-51 :D And with my elbow resting in the flare pistol, ..that in P-51 you can not do. :lol:

Taking Off the Dora is easier that everybody is saying...despite the fact that the "prop-wash" is not modeled. My trick is to trim the elevator to the full nose-down position, ..it is only one degree or a degree and a half, the maximum allowed. Then - Center the tail wheel and lock it, with stick to your bellybutton,, - Loose brakes, - Half Throttle - Run the half of the runway until the plane reaches about 100KM / h, and you get rudder control, - Center the stick and throttle to 100% and fly it. - And the aircraft go to airborne safely, and with full control. - Do not forget to correct the trim to neutral position after takeoff. In addition; DCS Fw 190 D-9 Dora Flight Manual, page 91. "The best takeoff procedure is to hold the tail down until sufficient speed for rudder control is attained and then to allow the tail to rise slowly" This phrase implies that DCS knows that the Dora has no "prop-wash effect" and therefore has no rudder control until the aircraft reaches certain speed.

Almost all pilots, like me, who flew the IL2-1946, Il2-CoD, etc. for decades we are used to fly the aircraft even with severe damage to the control surfaces. We know, how to fly a plane without rudder control, and do much more. That does not imply that the physics of "prop-wash" on the tail, is well modeled in DCS. The Jets planes in DCS do not have airscrew. The "prop-wash" is an effect that has not been necessary so far.

Do you have wind on the nose or tail? * What wind speed do you have in the video? How do you set the elevator trim? ..nose-up, neutral or nose-down? If you are taking-off with 30 or 40 km/h of nose wind, probably you have rudder control from beginning of the take-off run.

I´m totally agree with Silver_Dragon, :thumbup: ..And in minute 0:10 of that video the Su-26 do changes of direction with the "prop-wash", applying rudder, and a hit of throttle. :thumbup:

Your comment offends me, .. I have the SAITEK Pro Flight Rudder Pedals , and i no use that cheat of autorudder that you says., :(

In DCS the Fw-190 D9has not modeled the aerodynamic effect of "prop-wash" in the tail control surfaces, and I think that despite what was announced at the beginning, for the P-51D also has incorrectly. The blue lines of the picture should reach the tail the effectiveness of the rudder, in the DCS-Dora, is obtained only when the plane is almost in flight. The air-flow that the propeller throws on the tail is not aerodynamically modeled. The plane takes off skidding, and out of control in yaw axis, until it iairborne. (minute 0:38 in the video) THIS IS A BUG !! ..Although here we have very good pilots, and they can take off without rudder :pilotfly:
