How Historically Accurate is this? bf-109 G-2


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Takeoff in 11-12 seconds with 109 G-2. Is to much fast or not? opinions?

 

I have seen some videos of takeoff in this plane and always it takes at least 15 sec avg ....

Sim pilots have no life or expensive machinery to lose. They will gun it way faster than a real life pilot would dare and get airborne that three seconds earlier.

It´s a good and reasonable answer Feathered. I had not reasoned in that way.

The answer in fact is to some guys friends of mine that fly another sim ;) and says that planes in BOS "fly to much"...

Fly to Much? and in the other sim they fly less? :wacko:

Fly too much as in "recovery from erratic flight pattern if a piloting mistake is done is too easy" ?

 

Can identify with that reasoning, but I'm curious about the other sim they use. Maybe DCS ?

Wind, temperature of air, plane weight, airfield surface and elevation and some other factors -  do you check them all?

12 sec isn't too short in my opinion. Of course this heavily depends on the pilot and how confortable he feels with the pace of accelerating and taking off, though in emergencies they could probably shorten the time even further.

 

Also, as stated above, the wind direction and the conditional increased engine power output might cause better sensation for acceleration and shortened take off runs.

weight related? how much fuel?

Posted (edited)

I have tested with 70% of fuel. In the video i don´t think that the 109 takeoff with 100% of fuel to make a fly exhibiton.

I will give another try with 100%.

Weather condition in the real video... well, impossible to know. I suppose that in very cold weather like Stalingrad the atmospherics pressure was a little much higher than in normal conditions...(more easy to takeoff?), but airflield surface? winds? to much unknow variables ...

 

Sorry my poor english.

Not sure what types of videos you mean, but when you see a 109 flying today, they are most definately not taking-off with take-off power.

The other guys fly CloD, and they had just purchased BoS

Airfield surface in this video: grass...

Cold weather shoud make take off easier i.e. quicker and the run shorter since the air is more dense. I  don't think surface is that imortant. Just checked... take off is quicker on concrete runways than on grass because of drag. On landings it' s the other way round.

I used to play CloD and I could take off in the matters of seconds (german planes off course!), as the british ones need to heat up the oil/radiators before taking off. So, no wonder people can take off in 11-12 seconds in BoS.

 

As already stated, its a game, we dont fear for our lives or take care about the engine as you would in real life, if you crash you just take another brand new plane and take off again.

I thought the original 18s for TO were meant to be: warmed up engine, lined up with RWY. Set to go. In the video I posted (airshow) it took 16s + maybe 2-3. I don't think they'd crap the engine for the sake of an airshow.
