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

How to turn ATIS off!

Just completed my first flight. Very frustrating to say the least. Would not start no matter what so I quit FSX. Came back later and noticed some additional sounds. Always a good idea to reboot or at least load a default a/c which I did not do. Did everything per the manual. Pulling out the starter does nothing so I cnt e which worked this time around.

Then that dam atis started running. Opened up the radio and changed freqs. Opened up the comm menu and changed to a local tower freq. Blindly clicked on the aircraft radio switches. For the life of me I cannot get atis to stop running :ques:. For now I have voice turned off in the menu but need help in shutting it off.

Btw- The plane is a handfull just like I like it. Full realism,dirt 2500 strip. First landing came in hot,perfect touchdown but weak brakes and a long touchdown = overshoot and into the trees.

Try and make sure you do not load the 109 into a saved flight that had a different aircraft in there. Sometimes FSX does not reset all the variables. And you are using Acceleration?

When using the inertial starter, magnetos must be on, and then after raising the cover (which signals your ground crew to start cranking the inertial starter flywheel) you must wait a few seconds until the noise of the starter reached full pitch (ie. full rpm) - then just click/pull the starter handle to start the engine, and if necessary click/push the handle back in and then close the cover.

A normal landing run in a Bf-109K-4 is approximately 2000', and that's without full fuel or full drop tank, and so a 2500' strip is always going to be a challenge! (Did you hear the brakes squeal when you came to a stop - because they will.) And as Bernt noted during testing, 109's were designed to fly into airfields with landing areas almost 500' feet wide - and so a narrow strip is going to take some good skills!

I owned previous versions of the 109 but admit its been awhile. I never did see the battery switch indicated on the cockpit diagram but did remember where it was.
I built up a nice little field using scenery designer and its where I fly all my warbirds out of. 2500 dirt with trees "Thanks FSX" on both ends but at least they are offset and far enough off you can lift you feet and clear them.
I own most all the warbird propjobs but only the 190 seems to be more difficult to land on a short,narrow grass/dirt strip.
 
This model looks really nice. Finally an FSX native 109!

How about the engine sounds, are they carried-over from the previous versions, or are they new? Simliar to the real thing? Is there a video where we can hear a bit of it?

Best Regards,
E.

It's been a while (been working on this for a few years!), but I believe the engine sounds are at a minimum remastered versions from those also used in the FS9 model. I did work on them, that I remember. The startup and initial running sounds are authentic DB605 sounds, and the rest matched to the sound of the real engines.

UUUUUUUh!!! Another beauty. Off to download now. Thanks Barnes, you da man!!
 
The engine sounds really are a standout feature of this plane... Very rich and authentic sounding.
 
Still cannot kill ATIS from repeating over and over. Its the same freq/airport about 50 miles away. Ive heard this before but a simple freq swap fixes it. Any ideas?
Not that it matters but I cannot hear any inertia starting sound which is why I sat there clueless first flight. I just count to 4 and hit the starter.
Got my first few flights in other than not bleeding off speed as much as I was anticipating, she is a sweet plane. Coming in a little hot no biggie but later when I try to fly her home to my 2500 dirt strip I need to keep it tight and mind my speed.

It would help if you could answer this part of the previous answer: "Try and make sure you do not load the 109 into a saved flight that had a different aircraft in there. Sometimes FSX does not reset all the variables. And you are using Acceleration?"

You may also want to try an un-install and then a re-install, as clearly something is not sitting correctly in your setup. The radios are completely default FSX gauges, and so should be easy to adjust!

Mike
 
I don't know if it's due to the default flight, but I cannot switch the radios ON until I press CRTL+E.
Everything else seems to work perfect so far. The plane is really cool, but it's difficult to land ! Perhaps the most difficult in my hangar... (yes, I love it)
 
EDIT -Solved- I think...... Loaded a Carenado 182,radios were off. I had to turn them on and verify sound. Then loaded the 109. No atis and radios work.


Made a new default flight,saved it with the 109. Yes accel and every addon known to man.

The radio popup seems to be ON and freq numbers change and I can swap them. Next I am going to load a default,cycle the radios and retry. Then a reinstall if needed.
Thanks for the help.
I will post a cure to this issue when I find it.

Also OT but a little info. I had Mytraffic loaded for years. Its bloated at over a gig and with HD space drying up, this morning I deleted it. I fly mostly Warbirds,fighters ect so I do not miss the brain dead ATC and kamikazi AI.
Anyways, my FSX initial load time was from 30 sec to a minute. Now its almost INSTANT!
Also my occasional stutters have been cured. Overall the sim seems smoother,fluid and near larger airports Fsx is not bogging down.
 
Is anyone interested in doing a repaint with the yellow nose?

I don't mind if it is strictly not correct, you see.
 
Want this one, but will have to wait...
Just bought the Zero from Just Flight on a sale/half price.
Prices are going a little bit steep....can´t have them all....
 
I decided to practice my first hard surface landing and takeoff this evening, from Duxford's paved runway. It was great, as fortunately the 10-knot wind that was present was blowing fairly much straight down the runway.

I flew over to Audley End, just a short flight following the M11, which I enjoy to fly around, doing a few low buzzes - with the field situated atop a hill, it is fun to go low over the fields and then come up the hill over the airfield.
