A few questions about Bf-109
mangaroca posted a topic in IL-2 Series / Pacific Fighters / Cliffs of Dover: General Discussion
Hi All, Here they are: - When being a leader (first to take off) which groups of planes are which when it comes to contacting them on the radio and giving orders? "Rotten something" (first one), "staffel" (second one and the following, depending on the number of groups participating) and "schwarm". I think there is one more left... :/ Please, explain which are fighters, which are bombers; what's the hierarchy; which is the main group, which is a secondary group; why there's no TACTICAL and NAVIGATION sub-menus in the first group ("rotten something"), etc... - Say I am a leader of a 4-plane group (bf-109s). When and in what way I should contact my wingmen and give them orders? What should thoseorders be? What I mean is: what to say on the ground (to make them follow me and take-off), how to check where I should lead the group to (direction to target, should I give ,y wingmen an order to engage all targets at will just after take-off or only after an enemy is spotted, how to make them land, why aren't they reacting to me CHANGE FORMATION -> say, DIAMOND formation orders??? - Could somebody explain and present the way radiator and prop pitch should be used when flying the Bf-109? Does open radiator give more cooling to the engine but also bigger drag? Will taxiing with radiator closed cause engine overheating? And please, give the "by the book" manual prop pith and radiator settings for situations like: * take off * transit (300-450 km/h???) * air combat (in general, unless there is a difference in settings when engaging a slower bomber and a more agile fighter) * climbing * descending * chase * landing * taxiing I just wonder how much you can squeeze out of the Bf-109 using manual (instead of auto) prop pitch and radiator management... ;> Big thanks to anyone who will bother to answer my questions! :) PS. Please, make sure all the data refer to BF-109! -
I need info/help on the F-14 Tomcat
mangaroca posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hi All, I just love the Tomcat! :) I am constantly looking for any game that gives me the ability to fly it. I'm new to this forum and to Strike Fighters. Therefore, I have some questions: 1) Wings Over Europe is a flight sim that was released this year right? 2) Is there a way to fly a Tomcat in WoE? Basically, which one (of these three games: WoE, WoV, Project 1) has a flyable Tomcat? 3) What is the difference between SF Gold and SF Project 1? 4) Please, would anyone write what files (and in what order) I need to install over either WoE, WoV or SF Project 1/Gold to get all there is about the Tomcat: perhaps an improved 3d model, new skins, cockpit and weapons. I would really appreciate this kind of help! Thanks in advance! -
Hi All, 1) I would like to know if there is something like an operating manual containing crucial and less important (generally ALL) information about A-10: tactics, manouvers, speeds, bomb run descriptions... something similar to the one written about F-15. 2) I have already been searching (but found nothing) for mods expanding A-10's armament. There are mods changing the quantity of rockets, bombs etc. but they do not add e.g. new bomb types (Paveway ;/, etc.). Did I miss something? 3) Why can't I use the middle [6th] paylon to mount just about anything? I even tried doing that on empty plane... It simply has no options for neither bombs, rockets, missiles and pods. Why (and HOW) is that? I run Lock On: Modern Air Combat with 1.02 patch.
