4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

[private_lewis]

I don't know if this is a bug or not, please help.
On the SM.79, the flaps lower automatically (usually under 190km/h). Can someone please tell me if this is a bug or one of the SM.79's 'features'? Thanks!

I believe it's a feature, not unlike the Ju88's raising automatically above around 250kph.

Nope, it's a feature. From 4.09_Guide.pdf:

Flaps: SM.79 has completely automated flaps/slats. These are automatically and gradually deployed (via hydraulic actuators) when the aircraft IAS falls below 210km/h. Maximum extension is reached when IAS drops to 140km/h. Retraction is also automated, at the same speeds. Ailerons also act as flaps (flaperons) by deflection downwards with the automated mechanism.

I'd suggest downloading this file if you don't have it (from wherever you got the 4.09m patch, or try Mission4Today - http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...etails&id=3742). You also need to understand the unusual propeller pitch control. The SM 79 is a nice plane to fly once you get used to its quirks, but it helps to read the manual!

Thanks for the info and support!

Also please fix the FW/Mistel combo.

It no longer works correctly as Human controlled or AI

All you need to do is test it quickly to see the problems.

I can vouch for this Every time we separate, no matter the speed or attitude, the fighter will spin and collide with the Mistel. It's practically impossible to make a safe separation.

Strange... I have no problem with Mistel.

I did some more testing yesterday, and I was able to make a safe separation. However, I noticed that there is a large tendency for the FW to pitch up, and I noticed that the elevators are deflected fully upward without input from my stick.

The other thing to point out in regards to the Mistel is that the "camera shake" feature seems much stronger in the Mistel than in a normal FW-190. Just try the single missions which give you a normal takeoff scenario to see the effect.

EDIT:

I don't know if this has been reported, but in the QMB under "Coral Sea" when selecting a flight of Zeros in the first "enemy" slot, they spawn in the water, and their usual carrier seems to be missing.

I didn't see a response to this anywhere...

The pitching of the Fw190A-8 Mistel is due to the default pitch trim level for that plane on startup. Just reset pitch trim (Shift+Up arrow or down arrow - I can't remember) after separation and the Mistel Fw190A-8 will fly like the stock Fw190A-8. This has been the case since the Mistel was released.

Cheers,

I have the same problem. The autopilot does not work for the Mistel combination, it just spins to the ground.

Just noticed that is you do a quick mission and its air start with no target selected, your Fokker Dxxi (either version) will have iron sights (sight tube), yet if you select a target or scramble mission your aircraft will have a reflector sight instead.
