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)

Can't say for the real thing, but in the game you have fully adjustable water radiator, with a mechanism similar to the flaps deployment. there are three "states":

-neutral, in which the radiator doesnt move (the radiator slider on the hud stays in the middle)

-opening, the radiator gradually opens up, but you have to keep the "open radiator" key pressed (the radiator slider on the hud is on the top)

-closing, the radiator gradually closes, but you have to keep the "close radiator" key pressed (the radiator slider on the hud is on the bottom)

This. It's easily confirmed if you go to an external view and watch them work while you press the appropriate commands.

The confusion comes from the fact that the HUD displays the state of the control, not the state of the water radiators, so that for example the HUD slider stays centered whenever you are not giving any radiator commands because it's in a neutral state. If you press the "open water rads" key the slider indicates the top position for as long as you keep opening them, similar when closing them, but that's only an indication of whether you are applying changes to the rads, not how open they actually are.

To gauge their actual position look at your wings, there are moveable pin indicators that extend and retract into the wings.


As for the engine shaking, it's something to do with the auto-mixture mechanisms. They are bugged not just in the 109 but in most other aircraft too (i've seen it happen in a Hurricane and in the 110 and i heard others say it also happens with the Spitfire), they run a bit too rich and that's why the engines run rough at high altitude. It's a known, reported bug and we're waiting for a fix.

As for the mixture don't touch it mid-flight in the 109, it's only got two positions: auto and cut-off.

I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion.

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.
