did the 109E ever had this "Notleistung/WEP" Button?

well interesting, i never looked at the throttle to be honest while pushing the button....but how do i set up my throttle to make this available?if i push my throttle fully forward, then in the settings menu the output of the throttle is stating 110%, but in the 109 this doesnt give me the boost...

I think it is like all the game aircraft with boost controls, push the button and recycle your throttle to full and you will see it travels beyond the 'gate'.

i dont want to be forced to push the button,...i want to achieve it with pushing the throttle only

The assigned button is the only practical way to have it simulated, without always engaging it by accident.

My TM Warthog throttle has an afterburner detent, so that would work pretty well. Another HOTAS featuring this is the TM Cougar.

That is very good feature, does the software allow to set that throttle travel to the game key function?...in general though, there are players who use number pad for the throttle, and so the reason the way it is in game.

well we would need to pay attention to the throttle then, which would be simulating the real thing...not like its now where everybody can fly full throttle all the time, only focusing on the prop pitch....i dont mind to have the option to control it with a button, but hell i want the option to use it like it was in the real thing.
i have a ch throttle, and i cannot make it to work that way yet...has anybody achieved this?

With throttles that have the 'detent' I think it is just a physical feature of the unit and has no input to the software telling it has gone into detent, the game obviously has to cater for more varied hardware and the button is a simple and obvious way to cater for it, I think some game controllers software allow for setting up a 'ranged' controll in the profile setup wher in this case if a slider is pushed into a certain position it will simulate a button press, this might be a way for you to get your desired results.

good point, but i think that it was somehow intended to work in the game this way as well, as the output bar in the settings menu shows a output of 110%....
so i think that its supposed to work that way as well...and i seem to remember that last year i read a thread, where people were reporting that this is working in the RAF planes...i tried it back then in the 109 but never got it to work...and honestly i didnt think about whether its closer to reality or not back then...but know that i know that it should be working that way, i really want to make this working..

A few months ago we talked about this (109 WEP) on the bugtracker: http://www.il2bugtracker.com/issues/40.

QUOTE 41Sqn_Banks, translate by Kürfürst:

"Increase of output for takeoff (Allowed period: 1 min)
Through pushing the throttle the beyond "Vollast" (Full load, this is probably the 5-min rating - KF) position, without leaving it in the "Abflug" (Takeoff) position.
The holding of the throttle in the "Abflug" position is unnecessary, and therefore pointless; it will repeatedly return to "Vollast" position.
The mechanical clockwork, which is winded by pushing the throttle in forward will disengage the manifold pressure / boost increase automatically after 1 minute, regardless of the position of the throttle. Holding the throttle in the "Abflug" position does not restart or lenghten the increase in manifold pressure, instead it will just increase the richness of the mixture - and therefore no increase in engine output but an increase in fuel consumption - after the throttle has returned to its position."
