Learn to fly the Bf 109 G-6

[@ryanjohnson4055]

The attention to detail in your tutorial is incredible!

[@RequiemsACTL]

Thanks Ryan, I always try and do these videos in accordance with the actual airplane manuals when I can find them.

[@ryanjohnson4055]

That’s awesome. Any luck finding English translated manuals for Russian and German aircraft?

[@RequiemsACTL]

@@ryanjohnson4055 no not really. Let's just say I've spent many hours in google translate copying individual language letters from a pdf into it. The German became easy enough to recognize for me over time without a lot of translation...Russian always took the longest though

[@ChristopherT1]

That was amazing!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. When you were showing the procedure before taxiing, is where I saw what I was doing wrong. I had the H. Stab/ set wrong, and the flaps too low. As I said when I wrote you a comment earlier, the b.f. 109, G6 was the only one I was having trouble with. Even the FW 190 A5 which I had issues with, until you showed me what I was doing wrong - Now, I only have issues trying to take off in the 190 with 500 pound bomb strapped beneath. Thank you, I shall go and see if I can get the 109 off the ground now. Oh, by the way. Remember you saying it was my joystick causing the problem? Well, I went out and tried every other plane to see if was having issues, and I did not. Only the 109 G6. But now I know what I was doing wrong. Thank you for your very valuable service!!

[@RequiemsACTL]

Excellent to hear Michael! Glad it looks like you figured out the issue. How are your takeoffs/landings in the G6 now?

[@PopperNazi]

Could you do a video that briefly shows the differences (advantages/disadvantages) of the various BF-109 models?

[@RequiemsACTL]

That would be interesting Zac, I'll see if I can do something covering that.

[@Jbroker404]

Do you know if, regarding the flight model in IL-2 BoX, the exact temperature affects power output, even if it's not overheating or overcooled? Like for the Bf 109 G-6, Optimal water temp is 100° and max is 115°; would there technically be a power difference between an engine that is 90° vs 100° vs 110°? Assuming all other factors are equal of course.

[@RequiemsACTL]

I wouldn't expect there to be an appreciable difference. Just a matter of respecting the limits in place. The further you get away from that optimal operating range the more performance will start to degrade over time.

[@usmanballo7621]

how does the radio compass work? do you have tutorial? thx in advance

[@RequiemsACTL]

No I don't have a tutorial on that yet as it's not fully functional.

[@Jbroker404]

Regarding pilot's notes, do you have any information on max speed for flaps at positions other than full extended, such as halfway extended, 20% extended, etc.?

[@RequiemsACTL]

No I don't sorry, I have a G-6 manual (among other 109 variants) and they don't mention anything about partial extensions, so although those limits would be at higher airspeeds I have no idea.

[@cellnot]

Hi, is the "Schmierstoff drücken" switch active? When do you use that switch?

[@RequiemsACTL]

That switch is not controllable as during the automated startup sequence it flicks on to arm your weapons. As I understand it Schmierstoff drücken is related to the dual temperature gauge in the 109s (if you push the button in RL you read the oil temperature). I'm not a 109 expert so if you happen to find a different answer let us know!

[@1SaG]

@@RequiemsACTL Your explanation is correct. Schmierstoff = oil. Well, more accurately it would translate as "lubricant", but, hey... :)

[@roderickval]

Hey man the 1 minute max power, is it accumulative? Or can I use it many times for 30 secs watching my temperatures for example ?

[@SadenIsWatchin]

Yes. If you don't exceed 1 minute and pull back the throttle, after a bit of time you can just use it again. It isn't accumulative.

[@konradalexander7561]

Is this also flyable in the core bos?

[@RequiemsACTL]

No, the G-6 is in Battle of Kuban

[@stuka80]

i have a question, i've learned to finally keep the plane going straight on the runway to take off, but every single time as soon as i actually take off from the runway the plane instantly does a roll towards the left and crashes. anybody know what i'm doing wrong here?

[@RequiemsACTL]

[@stuka80]

i've figured it out, i didn't let the plane build up speed at take off, instead i took off as soon as able and so the drag at low speed cause the roll, thanks for the tips!

[@RequiemsACTL]

Good to hear you got it sorted Stuka :-)

[@Charlieboterman]

One of my favorite 109's even though it's worse the rest.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Yeah it's not as good as some, but you can't argue with the 30mm :-)

[@MercenaryZack]

@@RequiemsACTL I'm 2 years late, but how would you list the best to worst bf109?`I like the G6 because of the 30mm cannon option, but I actually do not know which is the best. I read that the f-4 is among the best, but it seems a bit underpowered vs the newer aircraft in terms of speed. And that landing was absolutely perfect, smooth as it gets.

[@RequiemsACTL]

@@MercenaryZack I'm not an expert on Bf 109s...so someone may have a better idea than me, but I like G-14, K-4, F-4, G-2, G-6, F-2. E-7 in that order.

[@ErossMcCloud]

What happened to the HE-111 video lol

[@RequiemsACTL]

Eross Van Leer fixed a labeling mistake. It only had 100 views so it was a simple fix and will be reuploaded shortly.

[@ErossMcCloud]

Sounds great!

[@danielavisentin3583]

just cut the part where you turn on the plane. Eliminate the most beautiful part.

[@RequiemsACTL]

Sorry Daniela, I have them on the majority of my videos but I removed the startup sequences from the Kuban airplanes based on viewer feedback.

[@danielavisentin3583]

in bodenplatte put startup sequence please nice video anyway
