Question about fw190 A4 in 4.11m

[Faustnik]

Only thing that I can add to IceFires great advice is fly FULL REAL (online).

I'd just like to throw this in here for the sake of discussion, hopefully some of the Team D crew will see this.

While I fully understand the logic behind this change to the A4, having the throttle stop at 88% is a bit... difficult to get used to. As such I'd submit a request that this be changed in 4.11.1 (hopefully?) or 4.12 to allow for full range of throttle 0-100% but still retain the correct rated power for that specific model.

Dunno why they dont use 100% throttle for nominal power (1.32 Ata 2400 RPM) and 110% throttle for emergency power ( 1.42 Ata 2700 RPM).

For example Bf 109 G with DB605A had initialy blocked engine power only for nominal 1.3 Ata then in 1943 they unblocked it for emegergency power 1.42 Ata.

But other hand derated BMW 801 D still had emergency power ( it had just different power settings then full rated 801):

Derated BMW 801D
Nominal power - 1.28 Ata 2350 RPM
Emergency power - 1.35 Ata 2450 RPM


Full rated
Nominal power - 1.32 Ata 2400 RPM
Emergency power - 1.42 Ata 2700 RPM

What do you means with full real online?
Thanks

He probably meant flying on a server against human opponents with the "CRT=2" option enabled and that enforces all realistic settings. In short, this means:

1. The server and clients cross check and verify the key game files that deal with flight, damage, etc are all the same.
2. Flying against skilled humans that are far more difficult than the "ace" AI.
3. That all realistic settings are enabled and unrealistic settings disabled, which includes:

a. External views off.
b. Cockpit is always on.
c. None of the obvious cheater stuff, like unlimited ammo, no g-effects, unlimited fuel, etc are turned on.
d. Padlock view may be turned off and speed bar might be off as well. I've seen videos from "full real" servers which allow those two options.

Hi
I noticed that it's possible fly at maximum power (88%) for prolonged time and radiators semi open without damaging the engine. (Moscow campaign)

At what speed and level of flight started the landing process? Is not same procedure for bf 109.

I try and get under 300kph before the final turn on to the field. It's a very different beast from the 109 and it's best to remember that. Even with the radiator full open the plane doesn't loose nearly as much speed as a 109.

The last two FW190 landings had me going into the grass at the end of the runway. It's not always an easy one for landing.

I've been using manual prop pitch 100% for landing.

[sagittario]

Is normal that pitch must be 100% in
takeoff and landing. My opinion is that
the flight model is not accurate as
regards the landing.
This is a warbird not a glider.
