Wow! I was thinking these slats were just like those in an Airbus.

So it does not matter if they are in or out, they are free and independent the one from the other.

Rofl, u give messerchmit too much credit if u thought they were mechanically driven, it's my understanding that they are operated by speed/pressure.

They would need a massive camber/airfoil to have the space to fit a mechanical design found on Boeing or Airbus aircraft

They pushed the slats back in to prevent dust etc. from entering that gap. Who would push the slats in in CloD? I don't think there's a ground-crew around.

So still, most of the time in Clod (not in reality), the slats should be out when the plane is on the ground, atleast when it just landed. Of course in the screenshots we've seen so far, the planes are about to take-off.

But whatever, let's wait and see.

I hope they have modelized the "crack" sound at the verge of stalling, as it was in old versions of IL-2. That was funny.

Can't believe you guys a stressing about this. If it's any consolation I've got over 900 pics of 109s in my folder and there are some 109s parked with slats retracted.

i'm more concerned there seems to be no E1's.

now thats just odd.

E4 for future expansion?

robtek · #18 02-23-2011, 07:52 PM

E4 -> E3 with MG-FF/M instead MG-FF -> no optical difference!
Canopy was a different change, nothing to do with E3 or E4

I suppose if that is so, the E4 will be maybe be added as an extra when the the optimizing and releasing furore passes. Being greedy i'd like all the major 109's as well as the several versions of the two british fighters we will be getting.

PS, also I would like to erroneously claim to have shot down some HE 100's. But that's a diffrent story.

and the MG-FF/M is already moddeled in CoD, Bf110C-4 and C-7 were armed with these weapons too...
