This is ridiculously good information. Funny how a video about a sim aircraft happens to be one of the best videos on propellers on KZbin.

There's Polish Air Force Spitfire in RAF with 111th "Kosciuszko" Squadron and Pluto on the engine cover at around 1:10. Some piece of history!

Excellent tutorial. My then new 1981 Cessna Cutlass 172RG had a constant speed prop and I loved it versus the fixed pitch prop performance of other general aviation aircraft I flew back then, but never really understood the 'magic' of the constant speed prop until watching this video. Also, thank heavens you guys haven't bailed out on FSX like M$ did. Each new A2A innovation keeps FSX fresh. Keep 'em coming!
@SUNGEAR5912 жыл бұрын
he's right its a real incite into how a good pilot worked a spitfire to get the maximum out of his aircraft, I have this simulator and it's a real joy to fly and get that understanding of how the ww2 pilot flew in regards to management of there airframe,motor,prop

PLEASE make more videos like this, of ALL the aircraft you made and are making, it's just THAT awesome to watch such a RICH preview-review.

I can't describe how enjoyable this was to watch! . I hope the next step for A2A will be to hook up an external flight model to replace the FSX's quirky one.
@straighttailpilot13 жыл бұрын
well finally someone is paying attention to those details. now I just wish you guys made some ga aircraft, at least some classic gas. like the cessna 195 etc.

@mickellemastra with a constant speed prop - no, you set the climb settings and leave it till cruise then adjust again, if it's manual variable then yes and to whatever rpm gives best performance for that stage of flight, if it's fixed pitch, you adjust power to maintain rpm within limits.

unless its an early MKI which had the flat flush canopy as can be used in the A2A Spitfire alongside the slight bubble one which inturn is different to the later Mark canopy

So using constant speed props do we have to reduce the pich in dives and increase it at climbs? And how much? And during a dogfight do we have to play all the time with the prop-pich?

@kristenburnout1 That's really disappointing I wish A2A do a stand-alone game like il-2 sturmovik with dogfights and stuff, I know there is Battle of Britain II “Wings of Victory” and I do have it but a bigger campaign would be more appreciated, I also got FSX but I won't likelly buy an expansion. Thanks for the answer anyway

He explained airfoils wrong. They don't use Bernoulli's principle of speed inversely proportional to pressure. They use Newton's third law of motion. They brute force themselves into the air.

+enrique3402 Actually, you are wrong. Both Newtonian and Bernoullian mechanics apply, both describe the exact same thing in moderately different wording.
