Help on flying the 109

[Gollum]

Wow. didnt think there would be so many opinions.. Anyone know the real story? Also, my problem was not solved by opening all radiators. For some reason no matter what I do I get an engine vibration that starts about 20 min into flight that gets worse and worse as the flight goes on until its a constant shake rendering my plane unflyable.

My flight consists of constant 2300 RPM, 3/4 throttle, mixture auto, both radiators full open.

Have also tried with radiators in what I think is the middle option for water and halfway open oil radiator.

Have also tried both with constant RPM at 2100 and 2400.

No use. engine starts vibrating 20 min in and gets worse.

I thought I was doing something wrong but am getting the feeling it may be a bug.. Unless you guys know of something I am missing here?

Yes my flaps are in the closed position and my gear is up.

Just tried it again. It seems as if the higher I go the more violent the shaking, then at 5 K I get carbourator failure. Mixture is auto right? So why does this happen? Even when I start a quick mission where we start at about 2 or 3 K the shakes are aleady happening. Is this just how the plane was ? I cant see that being possible.

Basically, if i stay under 2k I have no problem but if i venture above it I get shakes and then when I return to low altitude, it seems the damage is already done and I cant get rid of them.

Nobody else is having this problem?

scratch that. Even at low altitudes this happens. It seems to be directly associated with ATA. Whenever I dont have the throttle pinned to max I get violent shaking. More and more with decrease in throttle. I've no Idea whats going on. Even with throttle pinned I get minor shaking. Again this is as soon as I load into quick mission so It cant be from prior mistakes and engine wear.

it's been reported by many players... it'a probably a bug, and as you said its strange because the lower the manifold pressure, the worst the shaking. so it can happen both at high altitude (pressure drops) or when not going at full throttle. hope they fix it soon because right now its a bit of a pain in the arse for 109 CEM flyers.

The bug affects all the planes But the devs are aware of it and i hope we'll see a fix in the next patch! (beta should be out any minute now)

Tested rhe beta patch. its still there for me.

Yep, same here I guess the bug wasn't high priority after all

im a total noob at this, so take that into account.

i had the same problem as you in the 109, bad shaking and damaged engines. ive found that if you keep your ata high when you run at high rpms, you can eliminate the problem. you do this by managing your pitch and throttle settings. conversly, if you want to run at a lower rpm, lets say to cool your engine. you lower rpm by using prop pitch, and lower your ata using your throttle.

i started watching my ata and kept it high whenever i was running high rpms and lowered it when i was at low rpms and my problem with shaking and damaged engines went away.

i hope this helps.

Salute all, big thx for answering helps me alot

Sorry for askin, can you reload ammo in the air for the 109 ? or any plane?

Uncheck Limited ammo option...
