6./ZG26_Emil Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Just had a quick go on QMB in the 190 versus a yak, after I hit him I got that satisfying thick black smoke and on zooming in saw a fire on the side of the engine, as he dived away the fire went out and thick black smoke was replaced with the engine damage brownie grey smoke instead. I didn't think fires going out was modelled
SharpeXB Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 In RoF you can extinguish fires by diving, so it probably works in BoS too.
Finkeren Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 All kinds of fire can be put out by diving and sideslipping. It requires some determination, altitude and a whole lotta luck, but it can be done. I've even seen the AI do it. It seems to be easier to put out engine fires than extinguishing a burning fuel tank - which propably makes sense.
Y-29.Silky Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 First one who puts an HE-111 fire out, wins... ?

Blooddawn1942 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I often witnessed a fire that went out on Ju-52's that I ignited during my target practise with the Rata. Mostly enginefires.

It looks like the Ju-52 got some kind of engine extinguisher Because they always turn out the fire within seconds
BraveSirRobin Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Fires are extinguished on the Ju-52 almost every time, while the Pe-2 fires are rarely extinguished. I think the devs are biased against the Russian aircraft. 1

Shakey60 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Got hit in a Stuka, flames all around the cockpit so I bailed at about 2,000m. Watched my kite spiraling down in a ball of flames which suddenly went out at about 500m then trailed smoke the rest of the way in. Maybe I could have saved it if I stayed with it. Does the pilot sustain injury if he stays in the burning cockpit for too long ?
BraveSirRobin Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Does the pilot sustain injury if he stays in the burning cockpit for too long ? Yes. A fire will eventually kill you.
Shakey60 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Any known time limit before I should bail ?
BraveSirRobin Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Any known time limit before I should bail ? Once your vision starts to go dark you should probably bail out.
Shakey60 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Tks. BraveSirRobin. Will keep this in mind next time things get a little hot. S.

TP_Jacko Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 The day you stay in it, it will probably explode maybe just bail
Shakey60 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I think when my vision starts to red out It'll be time to jump but with my luck the bird will explode before then .
Y-29.Silky Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 So if it's modeled correctly, in the event of an engine fire you cut the mixture, throttle, and press the engine off button and it has a good chance to go out?
216th_Peterla Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 So if it's modeled correctly, in the event of an engine fire you cut the mixture, throttle, and press the engine off button and it has a good chance to go out?If the aircraft has a fuel shut off valve and is automatically open/closed withe engine start/stop key your fuel supply will be cut off and your fire should be extinguished. But I don't know if is simulated.
Finkeren Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) I also think you have to sideslip in the dive for it to work properly. At least it functions to guide the flames away from the pilot (that's how it works in RoF anyway) Edited September 21, 2015 by Finkeren

-TBC-AeroAce Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 general rule for bailing is if the fire does not go out before you hit the ground in a dive!!!! Also if things are starting to get dark! but be warned it can explode at any time!!!!!!
