Observation and questions about version 1.2

[mibo]

Questions:

Cannot reach 25,000ft on mission 7 Navigation.miz. Everything looks ok but almost reaching the gate at 25000 the engine starts to loose power. RPM and MP are spiking up and down. After Take of settings 2700RPM 46 MP.Can correct it momentarily with new settings of throttle and prop but impossible to reach 25,000 ft. Oil temp is high - open oil radiator. Strange is that the altitude reached is max 27,000 but altimeter shows the hand at 17,000. Gate is at 25'000. Is this a bug?

Observations:

Better than previous version but:

1. Rocket impact point is much south of crosshair (almost underneath HUD)and slightly to the right even in steep diving position (more than 35-40 degrees) and steady dive, no slipping.

2. When initiating game the mouse is not in the cross position but in arrow this causes the game to go to desktop view.

3. When activating parking brake trough cockpit control it does not remain in position. Quitting it after automatic start is impossible. Must desactivate it with W.

4. Rudder is very unstable with G940 pedals, spiking right and left. Tried various axis. Cannot solve the problem.

5. Zoom external in and out RCtrl + Num* and Numn/ does not respond.

6.Kneeboard current position RCtrl + K does not respond.

7. Find that cockpit instrument are not very clear and labels are trembling.

As it is a Beta version hope this helps to find solution.

Does anyone have comments or suggestions?:pilotfly:

Regarding the question.

 

You do not explicitly mention and I assume it was on. But, was high blower mode enabled?

 

Nothing strange with the rocket ballistics. I can still direct hit using my preferred reference on the reticle. I attack from the side and try to fit the vehicle between the straight lines in the lower part of the fixed reticle.

Turbo Hog,

Yes high blower was on. It comes on automatically before 2, feet.

Rockets: Normally convoys are attacked from behind in travel direction where defense is less. The rocket situation must be corrected it is not conform to reality even if rockets at the time where less strong. Also the rudder problem with swing is annoying and makes shooting precision difficult.

Nice flying and thanks for your reply.

K-14 is not for rocket aiming. In contemporary computational sights the impact point is calculated regarding a number of partameters; speed, pitch, distance, wind, etc. Fixed reticle never gives right aiming so you must train and train to know what aiming point regarding reticle centre or even engine cowling is right aiming point. The same is for bombs.

 

If you can not climb check carburetor mixture - I guess you use FULL RICH instead of RUN.
