BzKBravoZulu Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) It can be done pretty simply and repeatedly. Been wanting to do this for a while. This should help. Happy Landings Zulu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ldnbqailis Edited January 23, 2015 by BzKBravoZulu
indiaciki Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I'll try to test it tonight. I flew her a couple of times and landed without groundlooping. Had the same problem with the Spad in rise of flight. Try to add throttle as soon as you toch down. Roll with throttle and decrease it slowly as you taxi. Don't taxi or land power idle. Work your rudder and throttle costantly. Edited January 23, 2015 by indiaciki
indiaciki Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Just tried to take her off. she ground looped at accelareting. It might be you'll have to use ailerons to keep her on track. I was told that lepft rudder and right aileron ist the way to keep the 109K on track... I really don't know. Haven't flow much soviet planes, yet. I'm flying the stuka right now.

Airlerons on take-offs only in crosswind situations. If you need to use airleron when taking off with no wind you're doing something wrong.
indiaciki Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I know. Just had a discussion on the takeoff torque 109 thread. My dad is a pilot who was trained on military trainers, taildraggers. He told me that was wrong as you did. Seems dcs simmers use that for whatever reason....
Willy__ Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I find it easier to take off using a combination of rudders and brakes. I know that people advise to not use the brakes on take-offs, but without them I just seem to dance all around the runway and most of the times I crash. And since its a game, I dont have to worry about busting up the brakes, as opposed to RL. Maybe that helps ?
indiaciki Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) In RL those were cobat planes...they didn't care about brakes. Ground crews did. You can't handle a 109 without brakes for taxi and sometimes for TO. It makes a lot more sense to me than the aileron use since the aircraft are more difficult to handle before the tail is lifted since ther are no aerodynamics so ailerons are basically useless. slowly increaing throttle makes sense. I never take using full throttle. Those planes have more than enough power to take off with 75%. The only time I used ailerons was in the stuka wideo I posted. I had croswind that I wasn't aware of and my left wing (the one into the wind) lifted itself so I had to get my left wheel on the ground again. Those planes are overpowered. I use brakes on the 109 all the time to keep her straight. Edited January 23, 2015 by indiaciki
