Been testing this bird for a few hours now, full real, CEM and temps included, and it seems very much like a dumbed down FM compared to IL-2 1946. Here's how I come to that idea:
Taxing: Easiest aircraft of the bunch IMO. Using the brakes are almost a non issue, unlike the Hurricane for example. This bird swerves plenty with rudder only and some throttle play. Taking off: Temps ok, play around the full right rudder area and ease on the throttle until 100%. Clean config, lift off at ~200kmh, gear up no drama. Over 250kmh and you don't need much right rudder either. Cruising: Trim it, floor it and keep the rpms at 2000rpm and both rads about 50% open. Water may need a bit more. Landing: Drop to 200m, drop flaps to your preferred visual landing setting(I use full so you gotta keep the finger on it for a while) and drop your gear. Keep 30-40% throttle and glide in. No drama. Chop the throttle over threshold, pull back on the stick and three point it. EVERY TIME. In addition I see no buffeting, no shaking or anything else that might indicate that you're close to stalling. Until you actually stall. My impression is that you fly on rails and that the stalls and stall surfaces are some sort of pre-coded thing that is designed to occur at the same spot/time/speed/throttle regardless. Please chip in if my impressions seem totally off here but nevertheless, I feel that there's some parameters missing here. It shouldn't go this straight forwad, even in no wind circumstances. And I'm one of those that likes to yank the stick around a bit too! ![]() Cheers! Last edited by kimosabi; 04-24-2011 at 09:47 PM. |
