JU88A-1 controls

[Varrattu]

I noticed the prop pitch levers seem to have fixed positions like in the BF109E-3. Pressing the two-way rocker switches to Größer, the RPM increase , by pressing Kleiner RPM decrease. The original switches return automatically to neutral. Please have a look at chapter 7.o4 in the JU88A-1 Betriebsanleitung from 1940:

... just a minor thing

To compensate the top-heaviness of the JU88A-1 while landing you adjust the elevator in connection with the flaps. Therefor actually the lever of the landing flaps should be set to position "Höhenflosse und Landeklappe Aus".

I get the impression that the flaps incorrectly fully retract in the position "Höhenflosse und Landeklappe Aus"... ...

This isn't good in the 109. If you look at it, the case of the switch with four positions, but the button moves only three positions. The bottom and center position totally wrong.

The 109 switch has only 3 positions!
(Rpm +) <- (neutral) -> (rpm -)
And that is correct.

4. is sailing position
IIRC not working in CoD

Nein! :cool: The Fl. 18502 switch has four positions: picture (http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/instrumente/katalog/schalter/gross/Fl18502-2.gif) (same one in the COD-109 cocpit)

Größer - rpm +
Drehzahl - neutral
Kleiner - rpm -
Segelstllg (Segelstellung) - "Glide-standing" increase to maximum AoA of Propeller, because this causes the smallest wind resistance, if the engine stopped. This now totally wrong on the switch.

It was a topic already on this forum (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22549&highlight=segelstellung&page=3), but nothing change. :(

Feathering the prop (Segelstellung) is necessary if one of your JUMO 211D engines is shot out or damaged and or not producing usable power. Failing to feather the prop on a dead engine may produce so much drag that the one good engine may not be able to keep the aircraft in the air.

S!

I was trying to get the feather to work but I couldnt verify its funcionality, can anyone confirm Ju 88 feather function?

[JG53Frankyboy]

i dont think the available feathering command (that is available in the keysettings) is working at all on any plane ?!

[Blackdog_kt]

It should work on the 109 and i guess on the 110 too, maybe for a couple of the bombers as well but it's not yet.

For the rest of the aircraft, the control logic that applies is that "if it wasn't present in the real aircraft, pressing the keys in the sim does nothing". In other words, you can't set prop pitch in the Tiger Moth even if you mapped your controls correctly, because it only has a fixed pitch propeller. This is the way everything else works as far as controls go, from flaps and gear extension mechanisms to wheel brake systems.
