Flight Replicas Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 Released (Payware)

Crikey Hani :cool:, that first screen is almost the same as the cover of one off my Messerschimitt books .. i'll scan the cover later and post :cool:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Bought the Kurfuerst yesterday. Lovely model. But I have some issues.

1. Turning the radiator flap control handle to "Zu - closed", the flaps are opening, switching them to "Auf - Open" the flaps are closed.
2. The low fuel warning light is inoperable?
3. The oil cooler has no radiator flap?

But really love this plane, it's a real challenge to fly it.:salute:

Hi Yossarian,

1. This might be my error - I had the meanings mixed up, and although Bernt later gave me the correct translations, I can't remember if I updated the gauge code (the perils of having a year-and-a-half break in the middle of a project). I will look into this. Until then, perhaps assume some factory worker sabotage....
2. Yes, the fuel light works, but only at very low fuel (approx 3%), which is different than what is in the gauge code. I suspect this may be a bug.
3. Oil cooler flap: is there one in real life? This has always been a mystery to me, as I have never seen a factory drawing that shows one. In my Messerschmitt factory drawing that shows all the moving surfaces and their degrees and tolerances on the 109K aircraft, including the four coolant surfaces, there is no mention of an oil cooler flap. And as no photos I could find show one, I have just gone with the assumption that there wasn't one. The Flight Replicas late-109 FS2004 models have been out for a number of years, and no one ever mentioned this, either. However, if there was one on the real K, I'll be happy to put one there!:)

Here´s a link for the Bf 109 G10 Black 2. Have a close look to the oil cooler.

I´m sure even the late Kurfürst where equipped with an oil cooler flap.

Another pic:

And here you can have a look inside. In my opinion we see the cooling flap and the control.

The picture shows a DB 605 mounted in a BF 109 G6.

But you are right. It's hard to find a good cutaway showing the oil cooler.

I also don't know, how it was controlled. I think automatically.

Cheers :guinness:

Edit: Have a look to Position 39 on this cutaway.

Just posted some questions for oil cooler and oil cooler control to the German "Flugzeugforum" - Bf 109 thread. Hope to get reply soon.
 
Lovely photos , Black 2 changed a little since it was in new Zealand .

The fuel light don't work if the plane is load with the generator off.There is no generator switch in the cockpit, so you must load a flight with this set to on
 
I am one of those obsessive types who sweats the numbers.
What would the max continuous power setting be

Also at altitude the rpm rises while the MP drops. What would the max rpm be in this situation?
 
Hi,

The "Oelkuehlerabluftklappe" - oil cooler flap was driven automatically via thermostat.

On your trim gauge the scaling is from +1 to -6. Normally the scaling was +2 to -6. When I trim down, the scaling shows plus, when trimming up it goes to minus?

I will inform you if I get news about this from the German forum.

Cheers:icon29:

Looking forward to hearing about the oil flap.

The info for the K trim says +1 only (actually +1.10, plus or minus .10 degree).

The - and + are the angle of the stabiliser. A positive angle of the stabliser will push the nose down.

Oh, thanks! Didn't know that!:salute:
 
Following Baernhard and Hani's example , Yellow 6 of JG53
The ME109 K4 being the last variant , Yellow 6 of Jagdegeschwader 53 'Pic as' based at Kirrlach in March 1945 , the defence of the Reich in the last stages of WWII

Be a lot of fun to pit this against the other recent released allied fighters in a MP after reading performances between the types.

This aircraft will be posted tomorrow at flightsim.com .
