Hs 129 engine smoke and propeller pitch (inverted?)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys, just bought the Hs 129 and two things got my attention: 

 

1) When starting the engines, look (from the cockpit) at the exhausts over the wings. The fire/smoke coming from the exhausts aren't drawn over the wing texture, giving a weird impression of like they are coming from below the wing (they only get drawn past the trailing edge. 

2) Is the manual propeller pitch inverted? When trying to go to 100% to take off, it instead goes to coarse until at around 95% the engine dies (RPM drops too low). Shouldn't it be the other way around, like all other planes? (i.e., 100% is fine, 0% is coarse?)

Cheers

You have to fly Hs129 playing with propeller pitch. 

 

put it auto to T. O. (and boost) 

 

Then you will have to put it manual to decrease your RPM (look at your engines) I cant remember the limits i think it's around 2250...2300 and put ata around 1.10...1.15

Yes @LF_Tigre91, that's the way I fly it, but I noticed that in technochat, when you're going to 100% pitch, it is getting coarse instead of fine... (exactly the opposite of every other plane). In other words, the command to increase the pitch in fact reduces it.
