Fuel management and a couple other questions...

[jcdomm]

It's been quite a while since I last used IL2 Great Battles. 

 

When I left sometime ago there were prospects of detailled fuel management being introduced. 

 

Has fuel management been brought into play on all aircraft?

 

Also I remember a very annoying quirk when flying the P51d ... The aircraft would easily almost run out of pitch trim ( tail heavy ) in landing conf, full flaps.

Under most circumstances even full "back" elevator trim ( full tail heavy ) wouldn't be sufficient to lighten the elevator force / travel required for the short final and flare. 

Has this been fixed?

 

Thx for any answers / hints !

No fuel management.

 

I never experienced this issue with the Mustang.

Cant say I've had that problem with the Mustang either. I do find you have to fly it all the way in though. She really doesn't want to be on the ground

Unfortunatelly, fuel management has never been implemented in Great Battles (I think because of game engine limitation). Hope it gets solved in Korea.

About P-51 D, in game it need way too much elevator trim when landing compared with the real one. There is a very interesting video that compares flight model of the P-51 D in IL-2 Great Battles, in another sim (don't care about that) and the real one, done by a pilot that could fly the real plane many times. This is some issue that still hasn't been solved.

I'm searching the video again, because it was really interesting.

Edit: To the moderators. I understand that this is IL-2 Great Battles forum, and not to talk about other sims. I insist too that the comparison of our flight model with other sims flight mother isn't the important matter. The important matter is that we can compare our flight model with the real plane, and that is a very useful information that I think it is unnecessary to censor just because in the video they talk too of another sim that is much worse than IL-2 Great Battles form my point of view. I think the censorship of the link of the video in this case is not a good idea when the comunity is only trying to help.

@LF_Mark_Krieger,

 

thank you for the feedback. 

 

I had that video in my favourites since a good while. It's very evident the difference there.

 

Thank you, and let's see what Korea brings of good news regarding these subjects !
