Can't get it up in a bf109

[Uriah]

Can't get the rpm up past 26/27 in a 109. The prop pitch seems stuck on auto.  So is this normal?  I would think I could get the rpms up past 32 and could control the prop pitch if I liked.

The list of Bf 109 F-4 features that are not available in this version:

- time for climbing at maximum power is not limited

- manual prop pitch unabled

- manual radiator control unabled

- some of nuisance failures turned off as well as instruments

- trimmers are off

- any damage to the rear wheel causes drop in max speed of forward flight (to approx 430km/h)

That's because she's still an Alpha and not fully formed yet.  I suggest you try something a little more mature or if you're still having these problems with a flaccid control interface might I suggest either the doctor or some little blue pills (evidently).

Hagar, don't feel bad, it had to be said.

Elevator trim is working in the 109, shift arrow up/arrow down.

 

But I do not know if the indicator is working correctly it goes from -2 to -1 to -0 to -1 to 2, there seem to be -1 that should be 1.

Yes , try talking to Pele he`s an ambassador for that sort of problem.

So just how high can we get the rpm in this weeks release?

Yes, stabilator trim works, but it hasn't been properly adjusted yet. The trim wheel should allow as many spins as the flaps wheel so that the two wheels can be operated simultaneously, to compensate for nose heaviness when extending the flaps.

cant get it up in a bf109...they make a little blue pill for that 

 

sorry, i couldn't help it!

- manual prop pitch unabled

 

Good.

 

I can think of only one reasonable thing you could achieve for engaging this manually - higher MG17 rof (rate of fire).

 

Even that is... rather unnecessary,

The most funny thing I heard all day .

The engine's typical maximum operation usage is 2700 rpm, which is what you get on full throttle currently. You probably won't be able to get it much higher than this even with manual control, considering the engine will only be able to last one minute at 2700 when engine damage is added, except maybe at high altitude.

[Uriah]

Thanks TheCheese.  Just needed to know that.

Manual prop pitch is good to have when trying to get optimal performance out of the engine and airframe (such as in climbs) - in combat the workload shifts so that auto prop pitch is the way to go.

I have been manually controlling mine, sounds like I might want to assign the auto toggle as well.

There's your problem,  you should not be "manually toggling  "anything, get some help, I would suggest the Doublemint twins.

Something I noticed is how you can really scoot along once you get the F4 trim out. It's more realistic than IL-2 1946 in my opinion

???

 

Manual pitch control isn't available in the 109 yet.

Or did I miss something?

 

Sorry guess I should pay better attention, I was thinking of the Lagg which is what I have been flying.
