Question regarding HE 111

[oneeyeddog]

Can someone tell me if the HE 111 has a lockable tailwheel and if so is there a indicator or level or switch in the cockpit that animates whether it is engaged or not. Also, are there any suggestions regarding engine management/settings. Thanks .

it seems  no , but no problem for me to taxing

I am not sure about the tail wheel,but to taxi just use individual wheel brakes to make tight turns and taxing becomes a breeze.

1.While taxiing set rpm governor for max

2.Dont use rudder much,propwash is very tiny and ineffective with He111,use brakes instead.Turning left = step on left brake gently

3.You can also pull stick a bit to increase pressure on tailwheel.

4.Your take off rpm can be max 2600 but beware,this is Notleistung,dont misuse it for long.Right after take off,decrease rpm to cruise setting of 2250.Ata at 1.1

5.Oil radiator has different keys bind then on other planes.Check your settings for (smtg like oil radiator next position)

6.Water radiator opens by pulling two green T shape levers on right side of pilot.

or one motor when you have to make a big turn

By the way.

 

I have just seen, that the temperature in 1000 m height (on the Stalingrad map) is +40°C accordingly to the He 111

instrument. Only a hint....

 

For me, the sound of the engines in the He 111 is fading away every few seconds and then coming back.

Somebody else hearing this ?

meteor, i can't say I heard the sound fading in and out but I have noticed a big change in volume when i turn my head from side to side. Could it be this is what you are hearing?

Sounds good to me.

Yes, I seem to be getting it especially when I zoom in and out - wasn't sure if it was my headphones which are giving up the ghost.

My mother lived in London during the BoB/blitz and she always told me that you could tell a German bomber from miles away by the sound of its engines which she said the authorities told people "were unsynchronised" and hence easy to tell apart from ours.

Yes, as I recall American and British aircraft were set up to have the engines run with there (I believe, I don't exactly remember how it works) ignition cycle synchronized between the engines, so they sound more unified as a result. With German machines, which did not do this, they  were not synchronized, which made it more noticeable audibly that there were more than one engine running.
