Hi Friedrich-4/B, thank you for your feedback! It would be nice if a moderator would refer this thread to the "bugs and problems"-section. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Latebraker

BTW where is my initial post? Cheers, Latebraker

Basically I do agree with you and I'd like to point out that I did not say that DCS in simulation mode is unrealistic. I have been flying glyder planes for more than 10 years now and I know exactly what you are talking about. BUT ... since the real feel is missing in the virtual world, the question is: does the simulation mode reflect on this issue in the best possible way? The missing real feel is a missing link in the loop which somehow should be reflected by the FM in a rather ergonomical way... Getting back to topic: how to address the High speed vibration issue to the DCS people? Cheers, Latebraker

Hi all, I just found out that the vibration issue only shows up with activated Arcade mode (set in general Setup of DCS World). It is gone when Arcade mode is off. Maybe you guys out there can check this out and confirm my observation? Probably now the shitstorm starts :music_whistling:... Cheers, Latebraker

Hi all, I found the knob for the setup of the RPM-Control. It is definitely set to Auto while the vibrations occur. A change to Manual does not change the vibration-issue while the revs become crazy:smilewink:... Cheers, Latebraker

Hi all, @jcomm, thanks for the hint. Please find attached the track from my short and fatal test flight. I am curious about your opinions. Prop RPM management was definitely set to Auto. BTW where can I change it to Manual? Cheers, Latebraker Bf-109 Test Flight Vibrations.trk

Gents, pleas explain me how to create a track! I will immediately do so! Thank you in advance! Cheers, Latebraker

Hi Guys, I just checked the scenario jcomm used for his test. Exactly at 350 kts (it should be IAS) the vibrations black me out. This is really unfortunate... P-51 just fly away... Cheers, Latebraker

Hi Guys, thanks for all your feedback. The speed I mentioned were from the cockpit's speed gauge, so it should be IAS. It's also correlating with the speed shown in external view (mph). The vibration comes so quick and is so hard that something should be wrong with the parameters (although I didn't change anything here). I also do not see condensation trails while other pilots in my formation do create some... Is this all a beta thing? Cheers, Latebraker

Hi jcomm, thanks for your feedback. I am also really wondering about this issue since I expected a very fast plane. I am sure that gear as well as flaps were properly set and I observe this behaviour on a regular basis. It seems to me as if some parameters are wrong, since the effect I observe seems to be what is described on page 114 in the Bf 109-Manual in the section Compressibility (reaching the sound barrier). I am definitely not able to reach the max. diving speeds as specified on page 113! Btw. I am using the Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG - setup, so I do not have force feedback... Any recommendations? Cheers, Latebraker

Hi all, I have experienced heavy vibrations with the K-4 at speeds above 550 km/h and I can't go faster in heights up to 5.000 ft. The vibrations suddenly come and immediately lead to a black out. While being on idle I can dive with up to max. 600 km/h - never knowing if the vibrations start or not. It is not possible to recover the plane during diving and the flight ends in a fatal crash. Compared to the FW-190 (which easily reaches speeds up to 900 km/h in fast diving) the K-4 is much slower due to this issue. Am I doing something wrong, is this a bug or is it normal? Cheers and a happy new year to all of you, Latebraker
