is it me or does the takeoff seem a lot more controllable than the dora?

It sure does "looks like it". But looks can be deceiving ;)

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:

 

It does?

 

Using MW 50 and maximum boost the Bf 109 K-4 was the fastest 109 of World War II, reaching a maximum speed of 710 km/h (440 mph) at 7,500 m (24,610 ft.) altitude. Without MW 50 and using 1.80 ATA the K-4 reached 670 km/h (416 mph) at 9,000 m (26,528 ft). The Initial Rate of climb was 2,775 ft. (850 m)/min, without MW 50, and 3,563 ft. (1,090 m)/min, using MW 50.

Will we be getting the MG 151/20 (and/or MK 108 ) gunpods for the K-4?

I really hope that damage model will be fixed and I will not see a mustang receives a few mk-108 shells and flies away like nothing happend. I really discouraged when dora fire mg-151, hit mustang 3-5 times and mustang not receive any critical damage.

Not sure about the gun pods, if someone has some good data on them, how they worked, etc, I can feature request it.

In the cockpit of the K4 we are getting are two lamps labeled MG 151, to the right from the clock and to the left of the ammo counters.

I didn't think it was that great of a takeoff at least for a tutorial video ... I expect it to be more difficult than the Dora was for new pilots.

[LcSummers]

Cool,

 

second vid. Cant believe it. The K-4 is very near. Tomorrow!!!:thumbup:

 

With the G-10 the K-4 is my favorite plane among the Bf 109.

Yes, the rudder pedals were quite lively during the initial run, as they should be. :thumbup:

 

It all looks very good so far, can't wait to try it out! :)

[SlipBall]

Nice takeoff!...So what is the approximate Normandy map release date that they are shooting for?

[siipperi]

that lighting glitch might be reason to push it a bit, well looking good and sounds good. Can't wait for my 262 though. ;)

Just watched video first time with proper sounds (logitech g35 headset) and unfortunately i must say i'm not impressed with interior sounds . Doesen't sounds like DB 605 at all. Luckily we have some talented sound modders aboard...

Other than that it all looks very promising!

Remember, its beta, that said, when you receive your copy and you still feel its lacking, feel free to start a thread and if possible include any decent links to show the differences you are hearing.

in regards of the sounds its probably hard to judge correctly from a youtube video.but i tend to agree that the sounds i hear in that video do not remind me of a 109...to be honest when i first watched it today, it reminded me somehow of a sportscar. but its beta, and more importantly not even installed on my rig. so i wont judge just yet.lets wait and see...two more days!

[NineLine]

I want to make sure these thoughts are based on real world comparisons as well, not other games. That said I am asking where the sounds come from, if they were sampled from an actual 109 or created from something else.

[JST]

Don't know about the engine sounds, but the K-4 has glaring errors in textures atleast.

 

Wasn't impressed with the gun sounds of the Dora either, staying hopeful about the K, though.

Yes, I hope modders really can provide real sound, because they managed to mod even the original studio-quality rig records of P-51 sound.

[MACADEMIC]

More often than not, the units receiving the new-built K-4s had to spend a great deal of time just rectifying mechanical faults and/or sabotage, let alone wasting even more time trying to apply special finishes. As it is, there was only enough fuel for a 15 minute flight test.

Interestingly I just spoke to a man in Germany today whose grandfather just passed away at age 103 a couple of weeks ago. He had been a flying instructor and ferry pilot for the Luftwaffe during the war, and had told his grandson of the many crashes he and his colleagues suffered from the bad quality of airplanes that came off the production lines in the final years of the war. Also, that many pilots were lost on ferry flights to free roaming allied fighter pilots who shot what they found, but he escaped many times because he chose the worst weather conditions for his ferry flights, or was hugging the landscape.

+1, sometimes real life isnt as exciting or fun as what we have been trained to expect things to sound like over the years :)

[NineLine]

Does anyone have any official docs that the K-4 ever used the Mk 103 gunpods? I cant find anything officalish...

Wow 103!...he thought like a survivor, flying when visibility was low

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

the question is, does the game itself somehow apply "world sounds" over the engine sounds, or intefer with the engine soundfiles in another way? im just asking because i just listened to the sound files of the fw190 directly...and there i can listen to lots of details which seem to be just missing while beeing ingame.the soundfiles sound way more detailed and "stronger".really curious about that now...cause they sound awesome.

I think for some of us, we draw on our many air show visits. I know that its hard to get those sounds into a game. More than the sound issue, we are all looking forward to flying this baby soon
