Ju88 - taxing, taking off, RPM burnoff

[LLv44_Damixu]

- Ju-88 capability to steer and taxi the plane is humongously wrong - way too delicate movements are needed to steer the very heavy beast. Did you forgot the tail wheel lock?

 

- Ju-88 engine failure during 100% RPM and full ATA within a minute is so much wrong that even wrong wants to seek asylum on the right side.

Ju 88s did not have a lockable tailwheel.

It's no different than other Junkers engines and per the specs posted in operating manuals.

Then I just need to keep practising with gentle touch.

Ju88 A1 had lockable tailwheel in Cliffs of Dover . Taxi requires gentle inputs indeed , especially in MP, when the map starts, with a dozen of small 109's swarming around you , not to mention the occasional ace that takes off directly from the taxi way , also your visibility is not so good (compared to the He111 ) for taxi in crowded places .

Ground steering is fine, but the Ju 88 design requires a different approach to other aircraft types.

 

See this post: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/21704-update-1201-first-impressions/?p=344810 for the explanation and some suggestions.

From a translated flight manual:

 

"Taxiing is performed, if at all possible, by using the engines and the rudder. During taxiing it is inspected that the wheels can rotate freely and the brakes are not braking independently. When the take-off weight is greater taxiing is performed with utmost caution and only at slow speed; constant turning is to be avoided. Turning on one wheel is prohibited."

 

"Tail wheel is self-centering. No locking."

 

"Takeoff/Emergency power p=1.40 ATA n=2600 RPM (for 1 min)

 

"For 30 min. time power can remain (climb and combat power) n=2400 RPM   p=1.25 ATA"

 

Allt this seems to correspond pretty well with how the Il-2 BoM Ju 88 is behaving.

The problem solved!

 

Now my CH Pro Pedals works as expected and airplanes will taxi and takeoff like it supposed to do.

 

I upgraded my comp's RAM memory from 8GB to 12GB but the Win7 x64 did not acknowledged but  10GB initially. 

 

I updated a Asus P6T motherboard BIOS to get all memory in, I updated the Intel x58 Chipset drivers, I did reconnected all controllers and had to re-map my joystick (MS Sidewinder FFB2) and throttle (Saitek X52) again. CH Pro Pedals and Saitek Throttle Quadrant remained the same.

 

Now everything seems to work 1st time as they supposed to do.
