Hello, first I want to say that I like this module very much. It is excellent to simulate IFR flights. I am having the battery over temp problem. It seems to happen every time you fly above around 25000 feet. Please see track. I don't know if it is related, but I also noticed that if you switch the generator to off it doesn't generate a warning, but if you switch to reset then it does. Thanks and keep up the good work! c101 bat temp 1.trk

I am another with this second mission crash. With the P-47 sometimes it would work with "fly again". With the F-14 always freezes. Tried the Win 8 mode and no more crashes. Loading times a little longer but better than restarting computer.

ED, I was happily surprised with the 2.7 clouds. So I purchased the GPS and and got disappointed that this bug from 2017 is still present (or maybe it went away and came back I don't know). Anyway, as already reported, the DTK and BRG are being displayed in True Heading, instead of Magnetic Heading. TRK is OK in Magnetic Heading. The difference is about 6 degrees which makes me think it is a mix up in the magnetic deviation (Caucasus map). Could you please take a look at this?

Thanks NineLine for looking into this. According to the table attached, which I think applies to our Bf109K with 605DB engine, 1.15ATA is "economy cruise" which in my interpretation would be normal cruise. I know that ED's Bf109 manual gives 1.25 as "cruise", but the problem with using 1.25 is that it results in a airspeed that requires full nose down stab plus a little of stick forward to maintain level flight, which is uncomfortable during long flights (real or simulated). The only time I have heard of "gunning the engine" is on prolonged descents at idle or long idle on ground, but I have never heard when using cruise settings. But maybe that's how the 109 was in real life, I don't know, I don't read German. It is interesting to know that the 109-G2 (at least) had a handle to clean the plugs, as described in the other attachment. I have wondered if this handle could be #8 on the third attachment?

As far as I can see, it is not possible to select the landing gear in Neutral. The Neutral position was used in case you lose the engine hydraulic pump and needs to use the hand pump to lower the flaps.

Any news about this? In the latest version (January 2021) the air filter does not increase the carburetor temperature.

I think the issue is that the wingman taxis too close and tries to go around the leader to "takeoff first". Note on picture 1 how close #2 is compared to #3 and #4. On picture 2, I turned right on a taxiway and #2 continued straight and hitting me. It would be nice if #2 taxis a little farther back, I think it would avoid most of the collisions.

Ok, can you explain the engine grinding noise at the end of the track? Or the resulting lower speed for the same ATA?

After a long flight on the 109 (more than 1 hour) I noticed that the engine was not producing as much power as in the beginning of the flight. I could reproduce the event, see track. It is rather simple just fly around at cruise power (around 1.15 ATA) and after about 50 minutes (use time compress) you can hear the engine damage and it producing less power by comparing the airspeeds. An easier way to check that is to “active pause”, and after around 30 minutes you can see the propeller pitch changing to compensate (increasing pitch) the loss of power. Interestingly if you keep a high power 1.25+ this doesn't seem to happen. Can anyone else confirm this? 109 engine failure.trk

Talking about weather, i create clouds but after flying +/-50 miles they always disappear. Is there a way to make those clouds stay? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Not the overcast but the 1-7 cloud cover.

GB. sorry to bother, but maybe you missed the question above. Or what Odey said is the SOP?

Is there an SOP for how to setup the screens for takeoff and landing? For example: Checklist on left, DHI on right, HUD on center, etc. Or is up to the pilot preferences? Thanks.

GB and Lex, Thanks for taking the time to write here. Some of us do appreciate it.

Hello, On the C101CC on the right side there is the "canopy fracture" (not sure of name, away from computer now) the handle with the red "remove before flight", what is is for, what does it do? By the way I liked the "remove before flight".

Thanks GB for the real life tips. If a may ask a question: Regarding the Case 1 initial 3 nm and 800 ft, any real life tips for that? How many degrees turn right after point 3? When to turn left? Dme to turn left? 350kt right at point 3? How to keep spacing to the flight ahead if they use a different speed than 350? Thanks!
