some "official" TD Hs129 rpm recommendations ?

[JG53Frankyboy]

just because there is not the 'typical' 80% pitch available in the Hs129. Are there any "official" TD rpm recommendations in with range the engine works best or is at least not overstressed ?

Hi, I've been having the same questions

This site has some manuals, but you have to register to see them.

They appear to be only for gunnery and bombing. I can't find anything that looks like a table of engine management, or something similar.

However, they do have lots of great pictures, and are worth a look.










Here's some text and a table on what appears to be a bombing guide. However, I can't read a word of this font

Here it is, a manual on the Gnome-Rhone engine in the Hs-129 B

http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/index-englisch.htm

Search for Gnome-Rhone on the right, and the document should be the first result.



take-off, combat, max continuous, cruise? Google translate doesn't know some of these words

[Azimech]

Startleistung = Take Off
Steig- und Kampfflugleistung = Climb and Combat Power
Höchstzulässige Dauerleistung = Max Continious Power
Höchstsparleistung = Economy Cruise

dauernd = continious
Ladedruck = manifold pressure
Drehzahl = RPM
PS= horsepower

Thanks for the translation

Unfortunately, there's a problem with the CEM in Il-2 with this plane. It's impossible to match the parameters given in this table. For instance, reducing power to 1.1 ATA makes it impossible to have RPMs above 2000. 2750 is the max RPMs available with full power and WEP!

i personally dont expecting that reallive datas are working with any plane in game.............means that you can fly a plane with a real live handbook and gets the estimated performance.

therefor i asked TD, at least one person should know wich limits he programmed in the IL2's Hs129.

[JG53Frankyboy]

so far i always kept the rpm as 2500 as max with 80% throtte to keep the engine in good condition.

but it seems this engine is just one more of this "long runners" in game. open the coolingflaps, give 110% throttle and the pitch at max....i had the engine running for over 40minutes now in a short test..........................

If you toggle the auto prop pitch, you will have access to the higher rpms (>2750) with your prop pitch keys.

Are those pictures of the ZFR 3 A from a wartime manual?? If so, I think they constitute evidence that the telescopic gunsight was installed on the Hs129B-3. Perhaps DT would consider adding it as an option for the Hs129B-3 in a future patch??

The only evidence (that I've seen) of the ZFR's use in combat is from Franz Oswald of 13.(Pz)/SG 9 who noted "that the ZFR 3B telescopic gunsight made target acquisition difficult." (Quote taken from Martin Pegg's Hs 129 book).

How that applies to the entire production run of the B-3, I don't know.
