noob 109 question

[SadoMarxist]

Hello

Regarding the 109 overheating issues, one thing should be kept in mind: the 109E4 comes equipped with kommandogerat whereas the previous versions don't.

To take off and fly in an E4 observe the following procedure:

- Fuel cock on;
- Pressurize the fuel system by operating the hand pump on the lower right- hand side of the cockpit a couple of times;
- Magnetos on (although these will be switched on automatically at ignition time);
- Ignition;
- Lower the flap to the takeoff position;
- As the engine coughs to life switch kommandogerat (auto prop- pitch) off, set the prop pitch to the quarter to twelve position;
- observe the engine temperature indicators (oil and water);
- as the temps approach 40 degrees Centigrade open the oil radiator to half and open the water radiator until there's half a spin of the handle left;
- Give the aerodynamic controls a move through their full travel;
- Taxi to the runway and take off;
- Once in the air retract gear and flap;
- Switch the komandogerat back on and check whether it's working by observing whether the prop- pitch indicator needles rotate with the change of airspeed and movement of the throttle;

If all of the above is done You wan't need to worry about engine overheating

In the older 109s whitch don't have komandogerat just try and keep the engine RPM below 2300 through prop- pitch control and throttle position.

Good luck

Thanks for the info guys...I'll try this tonight when i get home. What about efficient vs best climb speeds (and power settings).....I read through some of those checklists....but I've seen conflicting info on the climb speeds. Someone (cant remember name) said the best climb speed is modeled to be 275 kmh ....where they said it was really around 250 IRL. The thread was something along the lines of what still need to be fixed post patches.

In order to make the Desastersoft-Add-on work with TF-Patch, do this:

Copy the folder "mission" from:
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
into
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover – MOD

After that, do a update with the Desastersoft-updater. (For fighter Aces you probably have to install version 2.0 of Fighter Aces manually...)
Same for the Skins. Copy "Paintschemes" from

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
to
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover – MOD

Good luck

What do you mean..."install Fighter Aces 2.0 Manually"? Just tried this and go the same issue. Game loads up but nothing happens when I select the Desastersoft Campaign (minus the screen darkening).

Hi

You have the Desastersoft-Updater, right? Besides that, for their first Add-on, they have released a 2.0-Patch (with the career System) which doesn´t load over de the Desastersoft-Updater, IIRC. You have to install it manually, by downloading it form the Desastersoft-Homepage.

Have you tried that?

Oh, and: Please read the Installation-Process in the Manual very, very, very good if you have more then one add-on. I wasted 3-4hours, only because I wasn´t careful enough and didn´t read the install-instructions properly.

alright...cool...didn't know about the patch...thought it would be part of the updater. Will try it out.

EDIT: Couldn't find this 2.0 patch....and dont think I need it because the installation guide said you only needed to uninstall if you were running other add ons......... I do not have any other Add On besides this one....so assume I don't have to worry about it. So i'm still at a loss as to why I can't get these two things to be compatible (when other people have). The FAQ said something about Installing the Add on as an Adminisrator (if you have Windows 7)....but I did that.

Just found out that this 2.0-Patch is only necessary with the german version, so sorry about the confusion. I suggest joining the ATAG-Forum, people will help you over there... And you will see the absolutely amazing Friday-Update from yesterday...
