Ercoupe Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Oh, I want this. Flies beautifully. Had problems with that left engine overheating in the engine start tutorial, but now it's not doing it. Not sure what I'm doing differently. Letting it sit longer so the temps come up, maybe. I was on the fence but I decided to try it out. I'm getting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Pilot Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Who knows? Is it possible to destroy a cannon on a submarine? I attacked the submarine with guns many times, but each time it continued to shoot at me with green tracer shells.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bashibazouk Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Not sure what I'm doing differently but I've lost the knack of taking off. For the first couple of weeks it was a dream, I couldn't understand what people were saying about it being hard to take off. But something I'm doing differently - and rather annoyingly I don't know what it is - sends me into a crab and often a ground loop as I attempt to recover. Also, I'm getting that engine boiling thing again. It's frustrating because I have no idea what I'm doing differently, I was confident I had this one. The care with which I have to avoid the engines boiling makes it very frustrating in the first place. It takes me forever to taxi to the runway, gingerly keeping the RPMs below1200 except for the occasional push to get the damn thing moving ---- now only for an engine to boil anyway and then the plane freaks out on take off. I think I'm going insane! I can take off in all the other warbirds, almost in my sleep these days, and I was like that with the Mozzie --- until this week. Arrrgh. EDIT - Hmmm. I watched a few videos and may have picked up some behaviours that don't work for the way I take off. That's all I can think. I'm gonna switch planes for now, I'm not going to have any hair left from tearing at it if this goes on...

Bashibazouk Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 2 hours ago, rkk01 said: Take off behaviour changed after the last update… now requires a longer run and more care That did the trick. I was using about 17 deg flaps and using differential throttle to take off as instructed by a well respected player/creator. I'm sure it worked when they did the instruction but I ignored it, used a tiny bit of flaps, a whisker down starboard aileron - based on guesswork, really - and didn't worry about the throttles. I only have a single axis anyway, so it was quite a faff to adjust them separately with keybinds to select port, starboard or both engines. So, I went back to the Jericho default mission and had no real trouble taking off at all. Maybe it was a little more work than it used to be, maybe it took a little longer but it was nothing like my poor attempts before the last post. Thank you again for the info, that's all it took for me to relook at what I was doing, to stop trying to do it the way it worked in the past and...voila! My lovely Mozzie is once again the terror of the virtual Third Reich occupation troops in France! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozon Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Did ED change something that affects elevator authority in the last patch? The mosquito feels different - much less authority in the elevator, it just can't command its nose around like it did before, at least this is how it feels to me. “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!

I'm gonna switch planes for now, I'm not going to have any hair left from tearing at it if this goes on... Also, Take-Off assistance was at 100% by default and is now 0% default. Don't feel bad, I thought I was the God of Mosquito flying and was brought back down with a bump! There's a good method listed in this forum though and using that I still think it's easier to handle than a Spit. Credit to Basco1 Method Nose down 2.0, right rudder 0.5 tick, aileron right 1 tick, 15 deg flap. 3000 RPM Advance throttles to 4 lb against the brakes.......hold on the brakes until RPM is settled (3-4 seconds), let go brakes, advance to 18 lb. boost. This will give a straight run without use of rudder or brakes until shortly after tail lift, when it will drift left. Compensate. Lift off at 120 mph. Wheels up, trim out nose up tendency. Flaps up, trim out nose down tendency. Stay level. build speed to 200 mph. Edited November 8, 2021 by Morat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rostic Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Is anyone can drop underbelly wings after 2.7.8 released today? When I sapwned in single player mission (I build for myself for training a bout a month ago) without bombs I loaded 4 bombs by (Alt+') window. In 2.7.7 I couldn't drop underwing bombs, that is know bug. But now it's impossible to drop even underbelly bombs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 underbelly wings? jokes aside, I just saw someone dropping bombs from the bomb bay 10 minutes ago. 4 minutes ago, Rostic said: Is anyone can drop underbelly wings after 2.7.8 released today?

MarcT-NL Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Well that's fixed now. In th previous release, wingbombs could only be dropped if they were fitted in the mission editor. Not after re-arming. The current Mosquito (Jan-2022) can drop all bombs, also after re-arming, and can fire rockets. Just the bomb's rear fuses don't work. They set of on inpact so you can forget about low-level bombing. However; very nice and fun plane, and I'm taking it for a spin more and more. If only I could hit anything with the bombs ! Also I dread the navigator-skills needed, But that is for a later time. A bit dissapointed about the "fastest plane in the world" though. In cruise conditions it will go about 280 mph. That's slower than the Mustang ! And I just can't seem the kill anything that shoots back ! I'm dead before I get the pipper on the target. Need guidance Edited January 26, 2022 by MarcT-NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Would be nice to know what you are trying to kill that shoots back as there are different approaches for different units. Tanks? The higher your angle the better. LAV? The higher the angle the better, or sometimes from behind. Bunkers? Come from the deadzone. Planes? The farther the easier as the gunners are dumb as they do not lead and can only hit close targets. Edited January 24, 2022 by razo+r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
