A little detail, about the only hydraulics on the FW 190 was the mechanical computer for the engine/supercharger/propeller mechanism. The main gear was driven by an electric motors with a cable attached to the main gear retracting or extending the tail wheel, the flaps also were electric. The engineering on the FW 190 was brilliant.👍
Send a iron cross via carrier pigeon got me laughing! Maybe a short piece on how to counter the aircraft of you are making this a series? I know it is implied in the video when talking about the disadvantages but a clear guide may help.
An excellent video and I must say that your labels for each of the instruments was very helpful. The way you simply labeled them and how they moved/hovered at the spot was very interesting.
Cost me one additional day to figure out how that works :D

I am an absolute noob who just arrived here from the War Thunder. I am grateful for this life saver tutorials! I find it funny when people told me how difficult and hard to take off or landing with the ME 262 what is the main reason I bought the game and still the only aircraft I can fly decently good enough. No difficulty what so ever If you love to do what you do and you are in love with a plane. This is the key, isn't it? I literally laughing about any complaints about the FW series! Even I found them the easiest props to fly as an absolute beginner! The most valuable part of this video was the taxing and tailwheel locking mechanism description. You helped me out with this tutorial. Many thanks! Quality content and true value!
Great Tutorial Sheriff, really enjoyed it! It covers a ton of knowledge and definitely will help others to fly the 190 better. It indeed was a lot of work to get all the examples recorded. Nice! However, I noticed something you can still improve. At 20:40 you dive away and get very fast. To keep your speed up even better, you should use your rudder to bring that little ball (slip indicator) back in the middle. When the 190 (and every other plane) gets fast, you notice, that the ball wandering a lot to the left side, letting you know the plane is flying uncoordinated. That causes a lot of drag. Bringing it back to the middle reduces drag and, especially in the 190, lets you fly even longer fast.
Just got into flying again..... This was very helpful !!!! ..... I practically dug a hole on take-offs trying to get to the runway. Still a work in progress.... Thx for the videos.
Hi Sheriff, I really appreciated this video expecially the engine's modes and your stop watch timing that really changed my mind about this plane and its limits. Also is always a pleasure to fly with you on Random Expert. I'm writing here to ask you a video about a no used on multiplayer plane: the macchi 202. Thank you for you vids!
Thanks Sheriff for making this video! After watching it yesterday I went on an Il-2 server today and got in my first sortie an Il-2 and in my second one a Spitfire and P-38. That video really helped me in that beautiful bird! Have a nice day/night!
Realy good work sheriff!! this video cleared up some difficulties I've been having with this wonderful aircraft. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Excellent tutorial! I will add that I stalled this plane repeatedly by being a bit too aggressive with the controls. I had to tweak my joystick settings to moderate the inputs, and did this several times until I could fly the plane with confidence. I have to say that I appreciate your testing of the high power modes and their duration plus replenishment times. The plane is still a bit tricky, as you imply, and smooth inputs are the order of the day. Now I feel as if I need to spend a bit more time in the sim. :)
Yes agree for the mig-3 too please ! Btw thanks for the tutorial ! It is very usefull ! And yes the 190 is the most beautiful plane of the game... After the mig ;)
I think they were hydraulics though... sometimes when shot up the hydraulic system would lose pressure and the Fw would drop one or two gear legs... there are some of guncam videos in YT showing this.
Thanks for that link! I stand corrected ;) Then this kind of damage I was talking about must be for shooting the electric motor itself I guess i.imgur.com/EmPVgrv.jpg Edit: looks like it is by damaging the holding spring described in your previous link
Magic escape manouever in the 190 I used back in the Forgotten Battle days (not flown since then): Dive vertically towards the ground and just short of reaching the point of no return, roll 180 degrees and exit the dive in the opposite direction. The enemy can neither roll as fast or exit the dive as hard because they do not have the same high speed manouevrability and so they will either crash into the ground or have to abort and pull up flying in the opposite direction to you giving you separation and you are outta there.
@@SheriffsSimShack I guess we played with simpler difficulty settings back then and did not have black outs turned on, so maybe not as useful on a full realism server🤔
Good job, the bf 190 is a great beautiful plane ...all them. I got a tamiya 1:48 , 190 A8/R2( rustzats) and I do love it, the A4 is another one who got me crazy, dora one is too way beautiful plane as well. Cheers mate. Iron Cross for you.
handling of the a3 is going to become easier with the release of the Kuban front. They're increasing the lift coefficient from 1.12 something to 1.3-1.4. Would love to see how the bird flies with a tighter turn time.
@Sheriff's Sim Shack Can we see a tutorial of the La-5? I have limited experience with VVS aircraft and I would like to see the proper assignment of keys for engine management and overall flight and fighting characteristics of this plane. This video was excellent! Thank you for all the entertainment you share with with us Sheriff!
I've found that, just as it's described in reality, the fw190 is a far easier plane to fly than the bf109. Right from takeoff you can feel the difference - the 109 is neurotic, it's got crazy performance but requires a crazy level of management along with it. Fw190 was designed by a fighter pilot for fighter pilots, and it shows right from turning the engine on, plus unlike the 109 it's not going to take the first excuse to go into a spin.
The A-5 has red sticks, sticking out the wing if the landing gear is extended. At the length of the stick you can estimate if it is Extended completely.
Well done - revisiting this, still trying to find a German aircraft to fly. Very practical. Fly next: the Sturmovik of course! (Well, no, maybe not. Like asking Mario Andretti to drive a school bus in the Indy 500.)
Have just bought IL-2 BoS (& Kuban). Having flown both the Bf 109 F-4 & the Fw 190 A3, I vastly prefer the 190... Speed, quick responses and...the firepower! I know I need to get better with the 109 and gunnery but the Fw 190 is so forgiving of snap shots. I can hammer an enemy down, whereas it feels like poking with a pencil with the single 20mm in the 109! :)
This video highlights to me that once the FW-190A had lost it's speed advantage in the Western front, vs the P-51 for example, it was in serious trouble.
Yes, bomber interception. But wasn't Jg2 and Jg 26 conducting fighter sweeps over Normandy for example? I'm not saying the Fw-190 was responsible for the failure of the Luftwaffe by any means, but there was a critical point from early to mid 1944 when it was outclassed by Western allied fighters.
The Emergency power replenish because it is limited by heat. Localized heat to be more precise. The heat of coolant is a average of the engine, but the localized heat of parts like piston ring, is more of a combination of thermal conductivity, cooling and localized heating. When the limit of the part is reached on localized level, it can cause catastrophic engine failure. This is why you can "regenerate" the emergency power, by simply letting the parts cool off a bit. Now, if it was Water Ethanol injection system, then once you run out, you run out.
I'm seeing that now but lmfao I CANT TURN. So basically I did what you did which was going 30 to 15 throttle but when i turn released wheel and then go back to spinning in a wild circle even at 15 throttle its quite weird btw I'm a beginner
NickNico it's takes a bit getting used to it. You can't be too slow if you want to turn. As soon as you taxi other planes you notice how nice the fw is
Excellent!! Do the 109....I am having trouble (game wide) with the zoom sight...the proposing is terrible, and small input to adjust fire sends any aircraft into this bobbing that get out of control real quick. Frustrating..... I found out the hard way on that tailwheel lock...
being instructed on flying a German plane by a someone with a German accent, 10/10 for added immersion
Ja ja :))
He is German😅
Well, idk, maybe he IS german?
@@Brazmannslittlegamingcorner OP knows that he's German lmao. "someone with German accent" and "German person" aren't mutually exclusive.
@@billydiesel8520 OP?
I don't even play this game and this video was entertaining.
20:56 That is some sick flying. Exactly what I need to practice.

Nice one Sheriff! Especially regarding your investigation of emergency power. I always wondered and now have the answer. One Horrido for you sir!
Thanks for the detailed information. I will apply your teachings to improve my Focke-Wulf 190-A3 experience.
Send a iron cross via carrier pigeon got me laughing!

These video's are AWESOME!!
You're a good man :)
Molto bene
e bello: complimenti 🎈 . Sei un grande 👍🏿. Grazie 🙏.
Sounds so easy... 2 minutes later i was stalling like a dedicated staller :)))
This was great Sheriff!
I don't play IL-2 but this was still great to watch.
I love that bird.
an iron cross via carrier pigeon...sounds about right :D
Appreciate your content. Just re entering il2 and have been out since 1946 was modern. Thx for the tutorials.
I don't even play IL-2, yet watch these great videos! Thanks a lot, Sheriff, Grüße.
+blubb9004 nice. Glad you like them.
These videos remain invaluable! I keep returning to them every time I pick up the simulator again after some time away!
This video was absolutely fascinating! I'd be really interesting to see your evaluation of the newer 190s in Kuban and Bodenplatte
thx for this awesome video!
I really can't wait for more ! :))
Just started with IL 2 today so i would be really happy to see some more planes! :D

I am maybe a bit late, but thank you for the great tutorial!
wow that's the first time a youtuber has responded to my comment, thank you
Super informative video. Great job Sheriff.
great tutorial! Especially locking the tail wheel is super cool tip, because i've spinned after every landing... Thanks!
I got IL2 and the 190 a month ago havent tried it yet. thanks for the vid
Do the M.C. 202, one and only pasta fighter!
Great stuff, Sheriff. Who doesn't like the "Butcher Bird"!?
I really enjoyed this video, plus your tips have improved my 190 flying considerably.
Thanks Greg, I like that I can give something back to you.
Sheriff - this video was amazing. You deserve way more views for your videos and knowledge. Thank you so much for posting.
I am sure the view will come. but we talking here about a niche genre. Totally normal that I dont have hundreds of thousands of views
Thanks Sheriff for making this video! After watching it yesterday I went on an Il-2 server today and got in my first sortie an Il-2 and in my second one a Spitfire and P-38. That video really helped me in that beautiful bird! Have a nice day/night!
I like that you use the metric system instead of the US customary system, learned alot from this video
+Mig Hunter but...there are only metrics in a German plane from 42....
Amazing guide, keep up the good work.
Realy good work sheriff!! this video cleared up some difficulties I've been having with this wonderful aircraft.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for the very nice overview of the A3

A veeery useful tutorial mate, thanks a lot! You made my FW's experience less a nightmare, but still a really hard plane to master
Thanks Sheriff. Great video and looking forward to more in this series. - Hopefully the basic game planes like 109F-4, Yak, LA-5.
Three years later and I'm coming back to Il2 with my hp reverb g2. The Focke Wulf is by far my favorite warbird...
New to the game i have issues with the fw 190 on take off ans freaking stalling all the time. Thnk's for the video i go back to training
you made this vid when i bought it thx. next plane mig 3 pls
Another vote for the mig-3. There is a free campaign available for the mig-3 so a guide for it would be most welcome.
Yes agree for the mig-3 too please ! Btw thanks for the tutorial ! It is very usefull ! And yes the 190 is the most beautiful plane of the game... After the mig ;)
another for mig3
Wow, excellent job on this. SO on the point and understandable. This will be my go to for tutorials now as god knows I need the help! lol
Ist schon erstaunlich wie viel Ahnung du von der Materie hast, sehr gutes und informatives video, danke fürs teilen. :-)
I've waited for this video for so long! :D
Very nice! Also yeah I agree, although the FM isn't great you can definitely still be deadly if you fly smart..
Fahrenheit Do more videos!!! they were awesome :(
Flaps and undercarriage on the FW-190 were actually operated by electric motors, not hydraulics.
I fockn knew it! I asked myself if I should check :D
I think they were hydraulics though... sometimes when shot up the hydraulic system would lose pressure and the Fw would drop one or two gear legs... there are some of guncam videos in YT showing this.

Thanks for that link! I stand corrected ;) Then this kind of damage I was talking about must be for shooting the electric motor itself I guess i.imgur.com/EmPVgrv.jpg Edit: looks like it is by damaging the holding spring described in your previous link
So helpful, thanks. Il 2 should take these vids as instructions, otherwise the game is no fun in the beginning.
Thanks - tips on taxi particularly helpful. Was finding it something of a ground loop queen although not so hard to take off once on the runway.
Very nice tutorial, thanks! Looking forward to this new series. Also, bonus points for the title, got a chuckle (or two) out of it. :D
It was this video that got me into this simulator. Thank you

@@SheriffsSimShack I guess we played with simpler difficulty settings back then and did not have black outs turned on, so maybe not as useful on a full realism server🤔
Great tutorial! Very well done! Informative and entertaining at the same time. And I don't even own the game ^^
Is a great help for me as a very green Pilot. Thanks a lot :)
Joining your discord and YES i did read the bit about your stick and IR5 ;)
Well made. Thank you for the information Sheriff.
Weiter so! Wirklich prima! And as the next plane pls explain the La5!
Good job, the bf 190 is a great beautiful plane ...all them. I got a tamiya 1:48 , 190 A8/R2( rustzats) and I do love it, the A4 is another one who got me crazy, dora one is too way beautiful plane as well. Cheers mate. Iron Cross for you.
excellent video Sheriff. I'd love you to do one for my new favourite plane, the Yak 1b...
I guess the yak1B will be so early as the competition is not fully implemented.
handling of the a3 is going to become easier with the release of the Kuban front. They're increasing the lift coefficient from 1.12 something to 1.3-1.4. Would love to see how the bird flies with a tighter turn time.
Flies better but doesn't change the fighting style much

I'd like to see them all done in this manner. Does a vote for "All" count? :-)
Yes that counts
neat
Nice tutorial. thanks for posting!
The A-5 has red sticks, sticking out the wing if the landing gear is extended. At the length of the stick you can estimate if it is Extended completely.
that is the case for many aircraft
Excellent tutorial sheriff. I found it verd useful. Guess it also applies to the a5
+Jordi Graner sure
Sehr cooles Video, danke!
Your videos are great. I've been playing on easy mode campaign, but i might practice some engine management and spotting on hard. Discord gaming soon
20:54 was badass
Great tutorial
Extremely helpful, thanks!
bf 109 f4 i have so much trouble taking off and landing no matter how many test flights i take and a few pointers wouldnt hurt
Takeoff, flaps 30, rudder right, throttle slowly open. Landing, flaps 30 again, keep it at 250km/h, when over runway nose up gently and throttle back.
Flaps, trim and landing gear is electrically operated in FW190 not hydraulics
Well done - revisiting this, still trying to find a German aircraft to fly. Very practical. Fly next: the Sturmovik of course! (Well, no, maybe not. Like asking Mario Andretti to drive a school bus in the Indy 500.)
Next one with the P-40 pls, also with the different times for the power settings in between full and combat :)
Yes, anything P-40 would be great.
Very good idea ! Thanks for the vid :)
funny how applicable all of this is to warthunder. Awesome vid keep it up
You sure all are applicable, or some?
No not all of it as u have in WT some nice Time Travellers and planes from other nations which are faster on the deck

Sehr gut erklärt bro. ..i like the butcher bird
This video highlights to me that once the FW-190A had lost it's speed advantage in the Western front, vs the P-51 for example, it was in serious trouble.

Great video as usual 👌
wait what I always thought 190's were especially good at high altitude compared to russian planes :O lol you learn something new every day! cheers
+prowokator it is good against Russians. But it looses performance quickly. But the Russians as well and even more quickly.
Hi Sheriff. MIG 3 please. And many thanks.
Thank you! Love the videos :)
Good brief there Sheriff, No more 'smoking hole' endings for me I hope lol.

Right when you said the easiest plane to Taxi. split a bit of my water out OMG!!! Im still trying to master taxi without plane spining out of control.
Stick back low throttle and it's really easy
I'm seeing that now but lmfao I CANT TURN. So basically I did what you did which was going 30 to 15 throttle but when i turn released wheel and then go back to spinning in a wild circle even at 15 throttle its quite weird btw I'm a beginner

Very good job. Even I understand ;-)
I would like to see LA-5, and how to handle with poor rear vision.
Thanks
Great vid. Would you mind doing one on some ground attack planes like the IL2 or Stuka?
Excellent!!
Do the 109....I am having trouble (game wide) with the zoom sight...the proposing is terrible, and small input to adjust fire sends any aircraft into this bobbing that get out of control real quick. Frustrating.....
I found out the hard way on that tailwheel lock...
