SCG_Tzigy Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Am I the only bothered? The visual representation of full yoke deflection is wrong/excessive, my arms are twisted in a pretzel.. and that is why I can not prevail in combat...?
dbuile Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Isn't there a manual for maintenance showing how to set the yoke and range of travel?

One would think so, plus there are p38s flying out there.. Maybe he never uses MAXIMAL bank, but not once I saw the yoke rotation go over 90 degrees... I do not need set different curves, I fly w stick, and that part is not a problem. it is just the visual "over-representation" of the maximal yolk rotational deflection... 2 1
dbuile Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Well, if I read the one online correctly, they turn 144 degrees +- 5 in each direction.

Ah, okay. I actually fly all yoke-equipped aircraft in IL-2 with a yoke and all the stick-equipped aircraft with a stick.

These yokes have a lot more play in real life than I imagined. Looked like he turned the yoke pretty far at 2:28. Oh and 2:50. He’s holding the yoke from underneath the handles it’s so far.

It and the JU 88 c6 I get very good precision flying with yoke. And a feel of authenticity 1
=DW=_bangat Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 Just rebuilding the p-38 yoke. And planned 150° to both sides. 3
=DW=_bangat Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 3D prototype is progressing… Among a lot of difficulties: the axis for the whole column is below the deck…
=DW=_bangat Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 A lot of work for the diving flaps, since it’s lot of construction under the surface fo a simple function one doesn’t use very often… I added a second stage trigger though. Main target: keep it as close as possible to the original p-38 grip. So do not expect any ergonomic highlights: we are talking about planes of the 30s… On 11/30/2022 at 12:30 AM, dbuile said: Well, if I read the one online correctly, they turn 144 degrees +- 5 in each direction.

Hook_Echo Posted March 1, 2024 Posted March 1, 2024 Ok, seeing you're working on an entire cockpit model, how much of this are you going to make!?
=DW=_bangat Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Well, not quite sure, but I am going to aim to create a series of let‘s say 50-100? Most parts will be made of aluminum. The grips will be cherry wood. Some small (inner) parts may by 3D printed. Edited March 2, 2024 by =DW=_bangat

I start with the yoke and the Column with all the buttons attach to that (weapons selector rockets/bombs) and camera. After that the quadrant with gear, flaps next then trim panel, bomb and rocket box and last dashboard with pedals.
Lusekofte Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Nice setup One must remember when it comes to the P 38 Flying it was like operating the most advanced ac at the time. Workload for the pilot was enormous. It was not a rookie plane. I never got any good with it, I abandoned it early a bit fed up with its tendency to brake in two when hit. But if it is modeled right it is not enough to use rudders and yoke to make it turn like a single engined fighter. It had a very good performance if the pilot was able 1
