Flying the Bf109E

[Ala13_ManOWar]

Well, it's not the K4 model we can fly in DCS, but so many words there fits what one can experience in DCS that I couldn't help feeling like sharing. Not only fits 109 but any high performance taildragger in regards of taking off and landing tips, though 109 specific traits are quite recognisable, as well as engine management. Only I think maybe there's a typo when he says airborne happens at 110Km/H, AFAIK even in early 109 stall speed was some 140Km/H. Weird, but who knows. Enjoy.

Interesting to read - Thanks for sharing!

I don't think that this is a typo since the full flap stall speed of the E-3 (R.A.E test) is only 98km/h and with flaps up 119km/h.

Yes, you're right since it's repeated a couple of times. 110Km/H is a really slow speed, and so close to stall, far away from modern operation standard definitely.

Interesting read and great pics too!

That war the reason I finally got the 109.. jumping into dcs ww2 from others dcs modules and il2.

Very nice read, will try soon how the slats are modelled....

I'm far from being an ww2 aircraft ( or anything ) expert, but if you mean "deploying while on ground" no, and from what I have watched in youtubes of 109 k4 s the same happens to the real counterpart...

 

In flight the deployment is kind of abrupt. I prefer the graphical representation in that other sim you also use.

 

It's also possible to see ( in both sims ) these deploy asymmetrically, but it's more difficult to get it in DCS than in IL-2.

 

Overall, it's a 50 / 50 in details and quality for me... But this DCS model is the only one where I really naturally feel the need to input rudder to coordinate my turns and other maneuvers - it's as if "I was there" … It's DCS, after all :-)

Well, I mean in flight.

But that was just a detail that catch me reading the 'mastering the Emil' that I want to verify in DCS implementation.

 

 

 

I'm afraid that like other modules (Mig21, Viggen,Harrie and Mi8) the Kurfürst will enter in my hearth and will flight it at study level in single players for months before to enter in actions.

 

 

 

Indeed, currently busy with startup/takeoff/circuit/landing... thinking about young guys in the fighter pilot training on that monster, the 109.

Although not having the full 5 senses / seat of pants sensation plays a major role in the innability to sometimes control the simulated aircraft...

[Elwood]

True, playing at night, tired, after a beer and you improve the simulation.

 

 

Reading any books, about fighting/flying and you will create your fake memories :-D

Awesome web page, readings and photos.

Thanks a lot!
