Durach Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I'm very confused. I've been flying fighters and recently got a flight yolk to fly this bomber. However, I can't seem to get the controls figured out to assign them in settings. Is there a video or post somewhere that can tell me which assignments actually belong to the HE 111? I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
GridiroN Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 The controls are mostly the same except that the HE111 has a traditional trimmer instead of a stabilizer and it has a 4 stage oil cooler instead of dynamic one like most other planes. You'll need to set those commands up yourself, otherwise, it's the same. And of course, "open bomb bay doors" can be mapped because it's a bomber.
Durach Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I can't find the control to make prop pitch manual instead of automatic. Also, I can open and close the oil and water radiators, but what are the oil and water radiator shutters for? They're different from just "open and close radiator" commands Edited September 20, 2017 by Durach
Finkeren Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 You can read everything you need to know about the operation of a plane in the specifications tab in the game, but let me help you out with the He 111 (H6 version): Controls: Throttle RPM governor (constant speed prop) Mixture is automatic (no control needed) Supercharger gear change is automatic (no control needed) Oil radiator is manual (5 incremental steps) Water radiator is manual Hydraulic flaps can be set to any angle No tail lock (no control needed) Individual toe brakes Trim tabs on all control surfaces Bomb bay doors open/close Engine limits: Nominal (unlimited time): 2250 RPM, 1.15 ata Climb power (up to 30 minutes): 2400 RPM, 1.25 ata Take-off power (up to 1 minute): 2600 RPM, 1.42 ata In addition to this you'll need controls for bomb release, bomb release mode, level autopilot (if you use that) and everything concerning operation of bomb sight and gunner positions - same as on any other bomber. Also: I'm quite curious as to how you control a plane with a yolk I can't find the control to make prop pitch manual instead of automatic. Also, I can open and close the oil and water radiators, but what are the oil and water radiator shutters for? They're different from just "open and close radiator" commands The rpm control on the He 111 is always manual, and it doesn't control pitch directly, since it's a constant speed prop.
Durach Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 LOL....I don't know yet. I haven't even gotten the bomber off the ground yet...LOL! Thank you so much for the info. But isn't there a way to make those things you mentioned as automatic change to manual? Or was it automatic in the real planes?
Finkeren Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Everything is as it was historically. In general on German engines, mixture control was automatic, as was the supercharger gear (which actually leads to some problems for the Fw 190 at medium altitude) What about the shutters? Oil radiator has 5 different positions, and I think that means, that you can't map them to a slider - same as with the Bf 110 radiators. The water radiator can be set to any position and can be mapped to a slider/axis. Same as on most planes.
Pharoah Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Also: I'm quite curious as to how you control a plane with a yolk quite easily in fact. I have a CH Pro yoke, multi quad throttles, pedals and Track IR. Works like a charm. Flying fighters with a yoke (like the P38)...now THAT takes practice.
Finkeren Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I know. I was just being a dick, because he wrote "yolk" instead of "yoke"
Royal_Flight Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Puns about the eggsact (sorry) spelling of 'yoke' aside... How do you find flying with a yoke vs a stick to be? I've been thinking of getting one for ages as I fly bombers most of the time. Does it take much readjustment to get used to, and is it worth it for flying heavier multi-engine aircraft or is it not different enough to justify getting it? It would be a Saitek that I'd pick up.
Durach Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Pinko, forgive me but I can't find it. Can you be more specific as to where I can find it?
Durach Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 it did work and it's great!!!! Thank you very much!
Durach Posted September 22, 2017 Author Posted September 22, 2017 I've been watching some videos with the HE 111, and the pilot will bring up a large map. At the bottom of the map, it says mission route. Does this map only appear in multiplayer? Or can you bring it up in single player too?
Lusekofte Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 How do you find flying with a yoke vs a stick to be? It give a lot more realism, I have owned Saitek, CH, and Ace yokes. There are new ones on marked today. But be aware that the cheap ones can make you frustrated after a while due to less smooth travel. I miss flying with a yoke myself
Sokol1 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I've been watching some videos with the HE 111, and the pilot will bring up a large map. At the bottom of the map, it says mission route. Does this map only appear in multiplayer? Or can you bring it up in single player too? Press "O" that you see the map in full screen - is not resizable (like in RoF, IL-2:46, CloD), work in single and multiplayer, there you don't see mission route, only in single player. "M" show kind of "GPS screen" in two sizes and is not available in multiplayer servers "full real" (EXPERT mode). Also has 3rd party interactive (you can draw routes in then) maps that you can show in second monitor, tablet... Is possible show this maps over BoS screen using STEAM browser overly, don't require BoS STEAM version.
Durach Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 Thank you, buddy. I'll try that out.
Durach Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 What does ata stand for AND which gauge is used to see it?
xvii-Dietrich Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 What does ata stand for AND which gauge is used to see it? ATA is a German abbreviation for Atmosphäre Absolut It is the manifold pressure of the engine. On the He 111, you can see it below the tachometers on the overhead instrument panel.
Sokol1 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Take a look at Chuck's Guide, page 207 for He 111. http://www.simulatedaircombat.com/Luftwaffe/sites/default/files/Chuck%20Il-2%20Battle%20of%20Stalingrad%20Guide.pdf
Durach Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 Does the RPM lever control the manifold pressure, and therefore the ata?
Retnek Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) RPM-leveller controls your preferred setting of the RPM. Mostly you want to choose a RPM-setting fitting well with the power output of your engine. The propeller governor unit will react by changing the propellers pitch accordingly, today called constant speed props. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-speed_propeller Edited September 25, 2017 by 216th_Retnek
