E69_geramos109 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Not possible to take the 1.65 ata version of the 190 without the external bombs and armor overweight?
Pierre64 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the Fw A-5 screeenshots. Are this piping part of some windscreen cleaning and/or deicing device ?? Will it be functional ?? Edited February 3, 2017 by Pierre64
69th_chuter Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I wonder if, in the game, there will be a slight loss in directional stability with the A-5. The Germans didn't really quantify or even mention it but with the nose and propeller being moved forward there can be no denying there was some negative effect.
LLv24_Zami Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 best development team. period.Agreed. Very efficient.
Liberticitiz34 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Yee +1 for The g-2 with 1.42 ATA and don't worry Jason we will wait Anyway great new for the vvs team and thx for your last update which was a great one keep doing great work
ShamrockOneFive Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 This was something we were able to squeeze in. We do not have ample time to make lots of engine mods like you are asking. Even these require much work and adds time to our already tight schedule. It is unlikely we will have time to make anything further this year in regards to engine modifications.. Jason I for one appreciate this added bonus. Thanks for all of the hard work from you and the team!
Field-Ops Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Unexpected, and pleasant surprise for the LA-5! I was sad that the VVS wouldnt get a proper LA-5 for Kuban with the chosen plane set. Its my favorite VVS fighter as the Fw-190 is my favorite Luft fighter (radial engines = best engines). So this week has been very good news all around. Thanks team, and I'll be sure to preorder Midway as soon as it becomes available next year.

The Germans didn't really quantify or even mention it but with the nose and propeller being moved forward there can be no denying there was some negative effect. Not sure I understand this: if the CG was also moved forwards which I though it was - the moment of the tail is also higher. Would that not potentially cancel out any adverse effects, or possibly even lead to a more stable condition? 2

Would that not potentially cancel out any adverse effects, or possibly even lead to a more stable condition? That's what I was thinking. The slight lengthening of the nose was(IIRC) done specifically to move the CG forwards. So for aerodynamic purposes the A5 wouldn't be getting a longer nose but a longer tail, which would make it more stable, not less. 2
Czar66 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Could this be the second golden age of CFS? In all honesty: one could say they are already living it.
150GCT_Veltro Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Not possible to take the 1.65 ata version of the 190 without the external bombs and armor overweight? I don't think. 1.65 is Jabo dedicated i'm afraid, so bombs and armours as default loadout. We can live with that. Nice time is coming for jabo guys. Edited February 4, 2017 by 150GCT_Veltro

So for aerodynamic purposes the A5 wouldn't be getting a longer nose but a longer tail, which would make it more stable, not less. You're correct, the CG was moved to keep it ahead of the Center of Lift to maintain longitudinal stability BUT while the engine moved five inches the CG moved slightly less than three. Without changing to bigger prop blades the results, I admit, would be far less than dramatic (for some reason I was originally thinking bigger blades). Love the plane by the way.
Yankee_One Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Great news Han! Cant wait for the IL-2 Mod 43.
303_Kwiatek Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) More engine version would be nice Actually La5 in BOS is one of closiest historical accuracy performance modeled VVS plane ( hmm maby beside roll rate). LA5F surly will improve combat speed at low alts. It would be nice if devs looks into roll rate which is actually very dubfull in LA5 ( expecially at higher speeds). Roll rate was improved from La5F airframe version ( improved control system and remove wing tanks). So actually our La5 roll more like LA5F version Edited February 4, 2017 by 303_Kwiatek
Dr_Molem Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 So actually our La5 roll more like LA5F version Tbh i'm ready to bet my left hand that even a La-5FN should not roll like our current La-5.
303_Kwiatek Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Tbh i'm ready to bet my left hand that even a La-5FN should not roll like our current La-5. According to German captured LA5FN test definitly not . LA5FN roll rate was between 109 and Fw 190 according to these test.
Boomerang Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Great update, the La-5F modification is a nice addition.
Danziger Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Tbh i'm ready to bet my left hand that even a La-5FN should not roll like our current La-5. Why not right hand?
HippyDruid Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Excellent update. The FW190 kicks some serious butt now. The development team are obviously quite dedicated to their craft. But alas it's not all roses... The FFB/TrackIR stuttering is terrible and it needs some attention. I'm going to continue to bring it up at every opportunity I can as it worked for the above-mentioned plane. The thread is here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/26746-trackir-and-ffb-working-together-cause-terrible-stuttering/ Please fix it! Thanks,
Danziger Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I'm going to continue to bring it up at every opportunity I can as it worked for the above-mentioned plane. No. Gathering proof and presenting it to the dev team worked. The constant whining and spamming every thread with complaints is the reason it took years instead of months to correct. 10
6./ZG26_Gielow Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I tested the 190 A3 yesterday and not a single stall dogfighting. Thanks for giving us back our FW. Just an small correction. The biggest firepower available should be the 111 kanonen. 6 forward firing 20mm plus 4 mgs and grenade launcher. It could be a great mod addition when devs get more time and money
Caudron431 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 best development team. period. Definitely.
616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 216th_Jordan, on 03 Feb 2017 - 23:32, said: best development team. period. Definitely. +1 The La-5F (with or without canopy redesign) NICE The 190A is restored to its rightly respected combat role and business of work - a fighter to be reckoned with, a fighter-bomber to inspire fear. Bombs will fall before sirens sound. Standing patrols will be neccesary. The La-5F adds nicely to an ever-growing plane inventory for Kursk; perhaps soon only to be missing a map and campaign? The news on engine boosting modes as outfitting options (if I understand this rightly) is exciting news with some real implications for future design. Would it be possible in the future to offer the Spitfire VB with 16 and 18lbs boost versions or an unlocked Bf109G-4 engine or retro Yak-1 and LaGG-3 for the Moscow campaign? Everywhere there's more historical content, there's more historical colour. This can only further background immersion and 1CGS Il-2's reputation. 2

The answer is yes it is possible for engine options but Jason has stated there is not time to fully explore it on the DEV side at the moment.
JG4_Sputnik Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Looks good!Still no VR news tough, seems like I will be playing other stuff for a while
dan54800 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Hello Han! Please note that I do not speak English and that I use Google Translate to send you my questions. These include the cokpits of the two Focke-Wulf 190A-3 and A-5. Although I have not yet studied everything in detail, it appears that some inscriptions on the side consoles are not strictly accurate. I was in charge of the search for documentation on the cockpits of Focke-Wulf 190 of the game IL2 1946, for a moder in 3D who took care to realized a mod pack on the "Fw-190 and Ta-152". In the event that your designers could modify / rectify certain things on these two cockpits, it would be a pleasure for me to provide you with the information necessary to make rigorously "historic" Fw-190 cockpits.
