Snap rolls

[javelina1]

The K-4 is really great, and with all the other DCS modules, the flight modeling is fantastic.

 

One thing I'm finding is that I've been doing a fair amount of Snap Rolls. I need to relearn flying this bird. I have a lot of hours in CloD, flying the E's. And I presume I'm having to "throw" my TM Hawg a little further, (when in CloD vs. DCS). When I try to fly the same way from CloD "E" in the DCS "K", I'm prone to Snap Rolls.

 

need to practice further, be more gentle on the controls, and lag pursuit and save that energy! :music_whistling:

The 109E is way different from the later ones. It was built much earlier in the war, and its airframe was different shape. The K-4 is not as maneuverable, but it's engine alone could eat the E alive.

Do you actually mean snap-rolls or accelerated stalls?

 

The 109, just like the 190, can roll upside-down if you stall it in a high G maneuver.

 

At least I haven't been able to find in DCS aircraft that unwanted flick-roll that plagues the axis aircraft in another sim when you pitch them down more aggresivly...

Thanks, the first paragraph explained it all. I need to practice my flying... :)

A snap-roll is a controlled departure & recovery which is used to roll the aircraft faster than the ailerons can. This maneuver is executed intentionally, so if you're doing it by accident, then it is (as Jcomm pointed out) better termed an accelerated stall and/or incipient spin, rather than a snap-roll (because it's missing the "controlled" part).
