Bf109F-4 Engine endurance


Recommended Posts

Posted

In this game, 1.30ata/2500rpm could use only 5min. Over that time, black dirt all over the wind shield and engine down. In real life, 1.30ata/2500rpm is kampfleistung, and it could use 30min. Not only Bf109F-4 but most of german fighters.

 

See this file(Bf109F-1 bis Bf109F-4 Flugzeug-Handbuch, 24 February 1942, Teil 6 page 7)

I expect it will fix soon.

I also believe something is wrong with the enginedurability. I think someone actually really has to make a video from an engine breaking  when flying 1.3 ata over a certain duration (below specification). There wont happen anything without proof that there is something wrong.

That is strange I did tests 3 weeks ago and could fly 22 minuts with 1.3 ata.

No blown engines here after 5min at 1.3.

I've not blown an engine yet while in combat.

I've  cooked a couple but never a full failure. Just a reduction in performance - roughly 30 percent of max (which is just below the 80% throttle setting I usually use for engine life anyway).

 

BTW, Good fights this week LR13.

Hmmm. I cannot understand about this. In quick mission, My Bf109F-4 engines gone in 5min...

 

I think I have to re set up my client.

Cannot have to so with the client. Please make a track and post video here. This way devs have evidence there may be something wrong.

Perosnally i went ahead and set up my hotas warthog so the max throttle goes only to 1.3 ata, 2500 u/min (RPM). This i use during combat. For cruise i use 1.15 to 1.2 ata at 2300 u/min. This way i havent killed any engine for days now. Above 6100m you can up the u/min to 2500. ATA is no issue up there since airpressure is low and ata drops to below 1 anyways.

Gom did you run on 1.42 just before you ran on 1.3ata?

"Kampfleistung" has been used without time limit in combat. This needs some adjustment.

 I found the reason of problem. I reset my controller setting and changed my controller. My old and loose tensioned throttle is the reason of this problem. I change it to X52(it's old too. ha.) throttle and there is no problem now. I think, I have to buy new flight controller set.

 

Thanks for help guys.
