FTC_Blaky Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I read the notes carefully, but there are not mentioned any changes to Fw-190 model, but I found trim working completely differently. Can you confirm my finding?
KoN_ Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 No updates even though the Whole LW community wants one . Also a fix for the 110 glass wing that breaks off . 3
Lusekofte Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 The 110 issue is a critical one, I am sure you could rip the wings of in a dive and hard maneuvering, but I do not think you are physical strong enough to do that maneuvering. And yes, I do not fly the FW, but I am so fed up with the constantly topic of it, I really hope they make a ybermachine out of it one day with no issues, a roll rate never seen before and climb rate that beat ME 163, whatever make people just fly the plane
SvAF/F16_Goblin Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 With regards to the FW190 I have started to come to terms with it after I made the warthog floor mounted with a 40 cm "enlargement" :D It also required tweaking the curves a bit but now I can turn it without snap stall if I treat it gently.
CUJO_1970 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 This issue became toxic long ago and unfortunately has been left to fester. This is why people are so frustrated about it. I put this sim back on the shelf four weeks ago because of it.
6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I thin it handles just fine. If you are used to the 109, of course the lack of Slats means that the Aircraft will be less stable, especially considering the higher wing loading and worse P/W Ratio. It is a lot like the Mc.202, LaGG-3 and I-16 in that way, all of which tend to get very wobbly at high AoAs. However I find that it gives you very clear warning, it buffers a long time before stalling, it turns considerably better than most russian fighters, except the Yak and I-16, as long as you remain calm on the stick and keep the speed at around 270-330, below that it becomes very unstable. When you feel it shaking, loosen your grip a bit and it will turn better, Take-Off Flaps also help a great deal in Tight Scissoring,. As a general Rule: You can, and therefore should dictate the terms of engagement. Keep your speed up. Whenever I see peoples tracks and Videos connected to "I don't like 190, change it to my liking" threads, I see them panic, go waaay too steep trying to climb away at as low as 180kph at Combat Power and 4 Cannons and then wonder why they get picked off by Russian Pilots using the little energy they have to go vertical and pick them off like Rotten Fruit. Whenever I meet a properly flown 190 ingame, I basically stand no chance of Catching him, neither in La-5 or Yak or MiG. Whenever I've flown a 190 ingame and remained disciplined enough to keep it's innate advantage in general Energy Level and don't get drawn into turnfights, because although I may win many turnfights with Non-Yaks and I-16s, I am easy pickins afterwards, because I'm great at retaining and using energy, but crap at regaining it once lost. Also, never go into any engagement without High Cover, because that's where it is the least forgiving. It doesn't matter what kind of Wondermachine the 190 is, even an I-153 will kill you when it's above you, no matter the fighter you fly. The 190 doesn't exempt you from intelligent flying, and it seems that is the first thing 190 Pilots seem to suspend, because "Muh superior 190". Edited August 23, 2016 by 6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann 3
Gump Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 i dont know what the workload and priorities are for the team, and i know they are working on having the best sim they can achieve with the resources/time they have. i am hoping they are working on fixing this FM with proper equity this time, especially seeing that they have the expert input, data, etc (from previous thread that was locked) to achieve it in little time. the thing that worries me is if the other goals are swamping them and overshadowing this. i DO hope they consider this important, as the 190 IS one of the most famous planes of the war, and will be noticed by anyone with interest in a serious sim. IMO, it is like spoiled pork on the buffet table. looks good, but watch out for the after effects.
JG13_opcode Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Somewhat echoing Klaus' feelings, perhaps.I don't think it's "just fine". I think it needs a little work and fine-tuning but I absolutely do not think it is as bad as some posters on this board have been trying to make it seem. I've read posts like "all you can do is go for a surprise bounce" or "1 pass and run away" which is pretty false.It is absolutely possible to play the energy game against the VVS birds if you do it in the altitude bands where your performance is better (above ~4500m or so), and I guess also below about 1000m but then you risk being attacked from above.Story time:Last night my wingman and I were flying the 190 on WoL. We got caught kinda low (4000m or so) trying to help some 109s that were even lower than us, all tangled up with some Soviets. My wingman got shot down (was my fault), but I managed to extend away and climb. I started dragging 2 Soviets back towards friendly flak, climbing. I climbed and extended, and while they were able to just barely keep up, I slowly built an advantage.Eventually one of the Soviets disengaged, but one Stoli-drinking Tchaikovsky decided he'd chase me to the friggin' stratosphere if he had to. I hear over Mumble that my wingman has taken off again in another 190, so I figure let's have some fun with this guy. He was in a LaGG-3 which is something like 60 km/h too fast at high altitude, but I could easily extend away from him if I wanted. Instead, because he was so target-fixated, I chose to just keep climbing, going for the ultimate drag n bag. I took a couple of half-hearted guns passes at him, but he kept trying to climb up into me after each one.By the time my wingman caught up to us I was at 9200m, and the Soviet below me was at least 8500m or so. Long story short, my wingman blasted him and we had a good laugh.At no time was I in serious danger, because I just used my superior speed to keep the advantage. Any time he tried to do a low yo-yo and hang on the prop I would just unload and extend for separation.It would have been easier if the 190 was more nimble in a knife fight like the 109, but flown properly (i.e. fast, and with a wingman) it's a solid aircraft with some flaws.

Irgendjemand Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 As a VVS fan, I'd like to encounter more FW 190s online. And maybe destroy some of them Must be because noone flies it since its a coffin. Cant run, cant climb, cant dive cant anything against russians. Coffin:P Who likes to fly a coffin. Thats why you dont see any of them online. Noone likes to play without reasonable chances.

Coffin:P Who likes to fly a coffin. Thats why you dont see any of them online. Noone likes to play without reasonable chances. Yeeahhh, that's not really true. With WEP you're the fastest aircraft in the sim, and up high you're only slower than the Friedrich and the Gustav.
Irgendjemand Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Yeeahhh, that's not really true. With WEP you're the fastest aircraft in the sim, and up high you're only slower than the Friedrich and the Gustav. Yeah and how long can you utilize WEP before you blast the engine?... Or till the LA5 i.e. catches you down low since its faster over a longer period? Also it might be fast but how long does it take until you reach max speed? Acceleration is just shaite. WEP almost gone until you reach that speed. Its not even enough to gain proper separation to turn and try to do a headon in most situations except you already have high separation in the first place. Sure it can be successful aircraft with a wingman. Wich aircraft can not? But its relative performance simply sucks. Energyretention feels like a 110:) At least thats my subjective impression and i think i cant be that wrong. Must be a reason why noone wants to fly it. Edited August 23, 2016 by Irgendjemand

Or till the LA5 i.e. catches you down low since its faster over a longer period?I think the limit on Emergency Mode is 5 minutes. I've never hit it so I'm not sure. But I don't fly it on the deck for that reason unless there are lots of friendlies around. Lone-wolfing on the deck or in small numbers is just asking for trouble. Also it might be fast but how long does it take until you reach max speed? Acceleration is just shaite. WEP almost gone until you reach that speed.Yep, the acceleration blows and was never really good, even historically IIRC. That's why every 190 thread since at least 2001 has always included the advice "keep it fast". Its not even enough to gain proper separation to turn and try to do a headon in most situations except you already have high separation in the first place.Depends totally on the geometry of the initial engagement. If you have someone saddled up in your rear hemisphere who's anywhere close to co-E, well, you already made the fatal mistake about 5 minutes ago. Edited August 23, 2016 by JG13_opcode

Well, it definetly takes more self control to get best turn, and it's no Bi-Plane but the heavier fighters will not outturn you quickly, and with full power you can get a tail on them.

Coffin:P Who likes to fly a coffin. Thats why you dont see any of them online. Noone likes to play without reasonable chances. The FW 190 is the one and only LW plane I flown that no one have shot me down in, I find it a very survivable plane, but I am used to fly IL 2 and PE 2 . The 110 is a far greater risk, it looses the wing in headwind

If I'm lone-wolfing I purposely stay away, no matter which plane I am flying. If you are at a numerical disadvantage, you should retreat unless you hold a considerable altitude advantage. 2v3 only works if you are above, 1v2, so on and so forth. There's a reason that modern air doctrine refers to a 2-aircraft formation as "an element". As in, the smallest indivisible portion. One aircraft on its own is not considered to be an effective threat. Only a "rotte" of two+ aircraft are considered to be tactically relevant. The Luftwaffe adopted this doctrine early on and used it to great effect. Edited August 23, 2016 by JG13_opcode

A Single 190 has difficulty gaining a useful Firing solution when chased, apart from Head Ons. The Second Can Bag that one, no matter how many chase him, since he is always faster. Combat effectivness increases by around 5 times with every aircraft added.
Gump Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 i can count the number of times ive flown in a 190 group in MP in less than half a hand. i also have seen just about as many rottes flown by other pilots in 190's. the 190 is an unpopular plane because it is not competitive as a fighter because of it's FM. or maybe one of you guys can think of a different reason it is so unpopular, and disregard all the discussion up to this point about it. maybe you can say that it is just because pilots do not know how to fly it correctly, but that has been discussed quite a bit already in the other thread.

The reason you are crtisized for having that opinion, is that people who payed for this plane want to use it (as it was used historically) as an air superiority figher and not a Stuka II, that bombs and then runs. Maybe these people are sick of being called whiners when all they really want is a airplane that is modelled in a believable way IN A SIM. A plane that can do more than run and get home alive, given the case there is no one above them on their way home. If a sim is just what it presents to be, then why is a sim even a category of a game in your opinion? No bad feelings Luse, just my opinion...
Lusekofte Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I do not take offense, but the FW 190 is what it is in this game, if people shelve the game because they disagree on this plane FM I think it is ridiculous. This is my opinion. I never buy a combat flight simulator and believe I will get the real thing, I know it is designed for balanced fighting. There is no such thing as historical numbers in a server and you will not see a uneven fight because of historical differences in the aircraft. There is no way USSR planes could take on a equal numbers of Luftwaffe planes with the difference there was in early stages of the war. But the designers want us to believe that. This is not a simulator that give historical accuracy , none of these games are simulators pr se. The FW 190 is what it is , and I do not find it bad. But I do not say it is accurate. But go to Youtube and hear what those flying the FW had to say about this plane. It was not all good and had its fault, it is not the dream to fly that people here think it was . Yes sure it had a better roll rate , or I take your word for it had. But in this game it does not. And everything said here has been said before. I just think it is idiotic to park such a great plane when it obviously can perform good in many ways, if you do I say park it and leave it alone

DD_Arthur Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 What I DO think needs to be looked at is how easily the aircraft snap stalls and enters unrecoverable spins when flown on a personal computer using commonly available joysticks. As the FW 190 behaves now in the sim (forcing the pilot to walk on eggshells any time they turn in combat), it does not represent anything that a competent Air Force would have accepted for mass production or deployed into a combat zone. In that sense it "fails to simulate". Unfortunately the onset point of the unrecoverable stall/spin in game is not something that there is specific "Flight Test Data" to refute because the test pilots would basically have had to die to get it. So the devs would have to exercise some subjective judgment to soften the stall/spin characteristics without turning it into a UFO, and I hope they do. They put so much effort into building this beautiful model and it makes no sense to leave it in a place where people with normal joysticks don't want to use it in any kind of air combat requiring the elevator. This. Fix the accelerated stall and she'd be the world beater we've always read about. You never hear me complain about speed, roll or climb rate like most and I never will. Reset the stall to the way it was before the most recent FM change on her, which seemed accurate before, and you'd cut the complaints by half or more. I still fly her and have plenty of success but the accelerated stall is pretty brutal. And this. It's about the stall characteristics we have now. Thats it. 2

But I guess that is the problem. If I remember it correctly other members of this community proved that power settings used for FM calibration were wrong. So they tuned fineness ratio as an (already unsatisfying) workaround to fit speed and climb references. Ever since that "fix" the strange stalls happen. So the stalls are just one symptom of the inherent FM problems. I don´t want to come across as a whiner, but there is a reason that the FW FM is discussed in every other thread. The reason is certainly not that people want an Über-plane. The FW is so unpopular online because as Gump said, it is just not competitive.

Dr_Molem Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Stall characteristics, stall speed (15 kph too high, because they refuse to take PEC into consideration), lift/drag ratio, roll rate illogical inertia,... The FM needs a complete overhaul, not "some tweaks". Sure, before they touch the plane a few months ago, it indeed had need some tweaks only, but this is no longer the case today.
XQ_Lothar29 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I will not dwell much. But the FW190 this simulator does not correspond with the thousands of stories of aces of the Luftwaffe in the world. It is a heavy aircraft, "Fatwolf" It is true that some pilots still fly despite their poor performance. From the start, to this day, FW190 is to become lazy and very dangerous for the Pilot, not for other aircraft.

Dr_Molem Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Has anyone tried talking to the developers about this issue after the latest FM revision? Yes, did it 2 or 3 months ago, the conversation ended with a fled, from devs.
Irgendjemand Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Yes, did it 2 or 3 months ago, the conversation ended with a fled, from devs. a "fled"? So they were fleeing from the discussion? Edited August 24, 2016 by Irgendjemand
MiloMorai Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 a "fled"? So they were fleeing from the discussion? No it wasn't fleeing/retreat but a tactical withdrawal.

FTC_Blaky Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Gentlemen, it is impressive what hlave you done to this thread. Anyway, my question again and I am not an LW whinner... I was on vaccation during the last update, flying FW before and after. I have noticed significant increase in amount of elevator trim. To be a bit more specific - the tech chat says I am using about 25% more trim output as if the plane became nose heavier. Has anyone who flies FW regularly noticed the same thing?

Some members from our squad have noticed that the elevator trim was probably changed a little bit . At least at the take-off you are not one notch up but start at neutral posn first.
