Bf109F2 and loop

[Voidhunger]

Hi,

 

I can do loop in Bf109F4, G2, E7 , even two in a row but in F2 I can do barely one and two loops are impossible.

 

3000m , 50% fuel and max continous power.   400kph

 

What am I doing wrong? 

 

This plane looses so much energy in loops and banking

While this is a good question I wonder if it has maybe been posted in the wrong forum.

This is a old bug. All Bf-109 in IL2 BoS stall and spin in negative G´s below 400 Kmh, It is impossible to perform a perfect loop. Problably  with manual propeller pith and elevator trim in tail-heavy, you can performed something like a loop, or egg shape.   

Obviously de FM is wrong, for the negative G´s behavior

When correctly performed a loop does not involve negative Gs

I don't think negative gs have to do with this since you shouldn't encounter negative gs in a loop.

 

Maybe you meant to say "inverted flight" ?

Yes, both are right. ..We shouldn't encounter negative gs in a loop, ...but the excessive loss of energy (commented by Voidhunger), in the top of the loop become a bit of inverted flight, and a improper stall condition. due to incorrect FM

Performing a loop in the 109 F2

 

1. Entering the loop at 550 kph and 1500m altitude. Make sure you have sufficient speed before beginning the maneuver.

2. Climbing up. Don't pull too hard and bleed speed going up.

3. Over the top. Keep wings level

4. Recovering. Reduce throttle to avoid overshooting your starting altitude.

5. Completing the loop at 400 kph and 1500m
