controller setup for the ME110

[Colmaniac]

I am using the Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant and so far managed to set up a few craft.

 

Atm trying to setup the ME110.  I`d like to know does this plane have separate engine and RPM management?

If not would I have to set up for prop pitch instead if this is a manual setting?

Yes, it has separate throttle and RPM controls. The RPM controls are typically left in the automatic mode (like in the Bf 109), but you can switch them over to manual mode and adjust the prop pitch separately with a couple of keyboard commands. But, that's typically only used for taxiing.

Thanks for the reply back. Thats ok if its supposed to be automatic.

 

Also for the specific 110 and british aircraft, for the water radiator open/close are the settings notched 25,50,70,100% same as the oil radiators?

Water radiator is in eight steps, oil radiator in four steps. Both only for both engines together, so no seperate operation of the radiator flaps for each engine.

And you can feather both props. As far as I remember, you can do this for each engine alone, since one of the last updates.

 

On a sidenote, when flying the 110 E2, you need a key assignement for 'Reload all guns' to reload the two 20mm guns after 60 rounds fired. You can see, that you have to reload them by the two red lights over the ammo counter turned off.

If you want to shoot the rear machinegun you need a key assignement for 'Reload turret guns' for the magazine fed machinegun. And don't forget to take control and toggle to gunsight before you can control the gun.

Thanks, I did try and map the radiator with the main throttle control bar, but this only works if you "pump" the controller up and down for on, and reverse on the controller for off, again "pumping", shame as the other aircraft water works as normal with the controller same as the throttle.

Guess I can remap the oil and water step control to the quadrants radio controller knob,  left one only has 4 steps so good for the oil, and the right one has unlimited turn left & right, so be good for the water.  Though Ideally should be the main lever quadrant controller.

Yea managed to map each feather control,  guess now thinking I can free up the map control to the fethering and use the throttle off and click back for reverse for feather off/on.

 

Haven't yet gotten around to any missions for the 110, just experimenting controller setup, didn't know about the reload, so thanks, my x52 has 2 convenient buttons for reloading :).

Yes, and you also need that command for the 37 mm cannon on the G-2 model.
