BM357_TinMan Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Didn't the 109 have a Radiator flap position indicator on the starboard wing. (It may not, my only knowledge is from the "E" variant in IL2-BoB).If it did, it would be nice if it was modeled so that we could easily tell what position our radiator was in without having to rely on the HUD.
1./JG42Nephris Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Is it working at all in the 109s? I dont think so.
VR-DriftaholiC Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The radiators can't be controlled in manual mode yet. The hud just seems to indicate control position.
unreasonable Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 The upper radiator flap is just inboard from the flaps, and moves up and down, so no pin indicator. Not sure if you can see it with cockpit closed. Anyway, with automatic control you should never have any problems with water temperature. ?
1./JG42Nephris Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I prefer to control the temps myself, same belongs to the pitch. I cant understand why it was cancelled. I guess , no I hope just due time reasons and it will be implemented again? The 109seems to be handled ,compared to remaining russian aircrafts, like a stepson.
LLv34_Flanker Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 S! You can see the radiator flaps from cockpit in Bf109G, and of course F-series, thus no need for radiator pins. The radiator from F-series onwards was a lot more efficient in cooling than the old one on E-series and on top had the automation keeping temps in check. Also a separation valve was provided to isolate the damaged radiator preventing all coolant flying out. For it's size the radiator on Bf109F and G/K was efficient and a sleek design.

Actually, those two valves were in the Cockpit and the pilot could closed one cycle so the other one was still functional and the plane could still fly long enough to get home from england to germany. Hope they will model this in BoS too.
LLv34_Flanker Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 S! Yes, the valves were in cockpit in front of the pilot on the floor according to some schematics.
