aplittlely Thanks aplittlely, definitely looking forward to making more. I'm glad that I won't be limiting myself to one sim any longer. I'll just use the best one for the job.
A lot of sim pilots will not even use taxiways... LOL So seeing a sim pilot taxiing this way is even rarer, but I'm about trying to provide real world techniques for people to use :-)
Very good and informative videos . I always wanted to see people explaining aerodynamics and technical stuff in their videos so , Thank you for doing that . I suggest taking a look at Falcon BMS 4.32 (best f-16 simulator so far) and believe me it's great and complicated !
Goddamn, just starting out and taxiing driving me mad. The yaw is huge and rudder response spongy so ending up snaking my way down the runway dodging ground buildings.
i find the la 5 less difficult to handle than the god damn FW. the torch on this one is epic -_- i've succeed to take off with all plane except the fw... got some tip?
It may change between airplanes so that's a decent starting point. Just play around and see what kind of control response you get. At times you'll need bursts of power as well to extra authoritt
Is the Handbrake in IL2:BoS a boolean or analogue control? I suppose I'm asking if we taxi while keeping the brake depressed/pulsing or do can we squeeze out the amount of braking we want with say the lower analog trigger on some HOTAS?
+Benedict Tan The brakes aren't all or nothing, so the amount you depress the control will increase braking to a maximum amount. If you assign brakes to an axis (like toe brakes on a rudder) you can control how much brake you are applying
During take offs, when you are already lined up on a straightaway and on 0% throttle, do you lock the tail wheel before increasing throttle or after? I've seen advice to lock it after applying throttle up to 40-50%... For me it's easier to lock it before accelerating. I guess the reason to lock it at 40-50% is to prevent the situation, when the torque during initial acceleration, sends the plane hard off the course, and locked tw makes it hard to straighten it up...
Requiem says in his tutorials to lock the tailwheel when you first line up on the runway, so taxi onto the runway, lock the tailwheel when your straight, roll forward a few meters so you know your straight, then stop and prepare for takeoff
@@gamertardguardian1299 Damn. I was trying out flight sims years ago... Now I don't even understand what I wrote or what "locking the tailwheel" is ;) I was a lot into racing sims and what discouraged me about flight sims, is that the sticks don't have Force Feedback. So the experience wasn't even close to what even a cheap FFB wheel provides in racing sims.
@@johanndaart7326 I totally get that man. I dont know of any expensive flight sticks that come with force feedback, even though there isnt too much feedback in real planes, there is some and it would be more immersive with it. Im happy you were able to continue your sim hobby in a different direction, thats super cool man. If i ever get a good amount of money rolling in im definitely building me and my family a racing sim. Flight sims and racing sims have always been my dream video games. Hope your doing well after all these years I was wondering if I would be any help after all this time lol
This may be a dumb question, but a buddy swears by it. Do you taxi with the tailwheel locked or unlocked? He says only make tight turns with it unlocked
+wsd 003 There are never dumb questions :-) Your buddy is right though. If you need to make a tight turn then unlock the tailwheel. This way the wheel can pivot instead of being stuck in a straight position. Allowing the wheel to pivot (unlocked) lets you have a smaller turn radius, but you will need to have good control of the airplane to not let it ground loop during the turn.
The Air Combat Tutorial Library Thanks :) These videos do help me quite a bit as i was not expecting the physics to be so much more realistic than 1946.
dixievfd55 I don't see why it wouldn't really. I'm just applying RL principles to the sim :-) I actually find taxiing MUCH easier in the DCS P-51 than in BoS aircraft.
The Air Combat Tutorial Library I was referencing the FW-190 as I am having difficulty getting it off the ground without the plane wanting to roll left and dig the left wing into the runway at about 130kph. I suspect I might be holding back on the stick for too long.
dixievfd55 Ah ok. I don't own the DCS Fw-190. Maybe you are taking off in a crosswind? The tail mechanism is similar to that used in the P-51, which I do own, so that only thing I can possibly suggest is that on the takeoff hold the stick back as you normally would, then as your speed increases gradually bring the stick forward to neutral and it should take off on its own. Sorry I can't help with the specifics of the DCS Fw-190 right now.
Great videos. Love the way you used more than one sim. They look great together .
aplittlely Thanks aplittlely, definitely looking forward to making more. I'm glad that I won't be limiting myself to one sim any longer. I'll just use the best one for the job.
Interesting, I never noticed anyone taxiing in a snake like path, I´ll keep an eye out for that.

What's your problem with it? Details would help a lot.
I don't really have anything extra to add regarding takeoffs other than to look at my Fw 190 familiarisation video takeoff section.
in 2:55 you mentioned 3) Maintain some power; would 10-15% be adequate?

The Air Combat Tutorial Library Thank you! So it is good to keep it locked most the time?
wsd 003
Yeah pretty much. Keep it locked whenever you want to taxi straight, takeoff, land, or for small turn corrections. Tighter turns unlock it.
What do you have for flight gear? Like for your joystick and throttle?

1:20 Is there a way to lean over the edge without TrackIR?
You will need to use the insert, home, del, etc keys or set up a snap view

i wait the fw taxing very much ^^
I hope this also works in DCS.
