DCS Bf 109K-4

By the way, i would rather hear the pure "in-cockpit engine sound" than "muffled-down helmet sound" in sims.

 

So you dont want it like it should be then ;)

It sounds like a big rotary engine.

Where's that lovely Daimler Benz whine?

The whine is here in this thread ;)

I wonder if they included the Bosch warning horn, as can be heard in DB 605's first video @6:00

Off topic regarding sounds but does anyone else think that wags didn't explain how to taxi the 109 very well? I mean it looked like he had the stick back to lock the tail wheel. And no flaps?

[saurer]

In the 109 you have a handel on the left side of the cockpit above the trim and flap wheels to lock the tailwheel. You acctually see him using it

He says in the vid that he performs the steps how he feels they work best for him, you can adapt to your own needs of course, the vids give a good overview and are a nice sneak peak that the aircraft.

 

And flaps for a taxi?

For takeoff...

I dont think you require flaps for take off unless its a short runway, but I could be wrong.

[SilentGun]

Oh and btw does anyone know when the 20% off thing is going to end?

[Friedrich-4B]

Just looking at this, no flaps for take-off, radiator shutters open

Here's a vid on cockpit procedure; pity the lighting isn't better!

With a unlimited runway, flaps are never required. Since we have limited runways in the real world, flaps are used to help us to get airborne sooner.

The runways we have in the current map, I dont think flaps will be needed, but by all means, if you are in a hurry you can use them ;)

[arthuro12]

And here I thought using flaps for take-off was a must..

 

Everything I've been taught is a lie!

[SlipBall]

I think flaps may have been recommended for use on a short field, or if to clear an obstacle, or if in a no wind situation with a short field ...may be only 10 degrees or so, someone may have some manufacturers literature on this

For those who find the 109 sounds underwhelming: give Diveplane a copy and he'll give us sounds that are a tad more manly. :D

Only if 'taking it off' gets you +60dB engine sound increase, inhibits all in-game comms and Teamspeak :)

Does the 109 have a steerable tailwheel via rudder pedals (Like the Mustang)? Or is it like the 190 where it just spins on it's own accord and you have to use the brakes.

The mustang is free castoring. So is the 109.

TAXIING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check wing flaps UP.
   
2. Have wheel chocks pulled.
   
3. Steer a zigzag course.
   
4. Taxi with stick slightly aft of neutral. This will lock the tail wheel. In the locked position the tail wheel may be turned 6 degrees to the right or left by use of the rudder pedals. For sharp turns, push stick forward of the neutral position to allow the tail wheel full swiveling action. Use brakes as little as possible.
