JU-87 Startup

What do you use (radiator %, pitch, and rpm%) to get off the runway and into the air? And then what happens after you get it into the air?

And then what happens after you get it into the air?

 

Reference the game's official manual.

Reference the game's official manual.

Im asking becasue whenever i get my Ju-87 in the air, i use all of my take off time i guess you could say and i use the "climb" 55% throttle and i eventually just crash

[FuriousMeow]

55% throttle doesn't mean anything. That's why LukeFF is telling you to reference the manual, you need to use the actual instruments to determine what setting you are actually at. Like ATA, and RPM. Those two gauges will be better for you than throttle %.

JU 87:

Take off: RPM/Manifold: 2500/1.3

Climb: 2450/1.25 (for 30 mins max)

cruise: 2100/1.2

 

This is what I use, and so far I have been able to fly the Stuka without breaking the engine.

You're missing the radiator settings.

Slightly incorrect, official values are:

 

Take of and Emergency Power (1min): 1.40 ata / 2600RPM

Combat and climb power (30min): 1.25ata / 2400 RPM

Max. continues power: 1.15ata / 2250 RPM

 

Takeoff procedure:

- radiaors fully open for TO

- prop pitch according to power setting

- On short runways use TO and Emergency power

- after lifting off the ground push throttle back to climb power immedently to avoid engine damage

- climb out until reaching safe altitude and speed before retracting flaps

This last step is very important! After you retract flaps the airplane will dip down a little.   

[Asgar]

you use flaps for TO in the Stuka? 

[Willy__]

Only when the runaway is short or if I'm taking a heavy loadout (SC1000 or SC1800).

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

you use flaps for TO in the Stuka? 

With overload (full fuel + SC1800) flaps and a long enough runway are a must. WIth 1000kg ordinance and half fuel or less you can leave them depending on your runway lengh.

Best thing to learn is: turn off that dumb "(radiator %, pitch, and rpm%)" and look at RPM, ATA, temp. instruments.

In the beguinning I used 80% rad-80% RPM and around 70-90% throttle and the plane survived most of the time. Now, if you want to do it right, do as people told you  and check RPMs.
