Prop / slipstream effects - Bf 109

Dear All,

not many videos available flying the 109 in AEFS4, but from what I can observe it's rather tame regarding takeoff and inflight need to use rudder for coordination, initially left rudder then above 400 km/h / cruise persistent right rudder to overcome the effects of the non symmetrical vertical stab profile...

Also wasn't able to see the "automatic prop control" changing the prop blade incidence angle as the users adjusted power?

How well systems and flight dynamics wise is the 109 actually modelled ?

The prop blade automatically changes unless you have an axis assigned to the propeller speed control or you start to manually start moving the control for the blade pitch in the cockpit.

The flight model fully simulates the automatic slats, the starter, etc. as mentioned here:

The 'E' needed manual pitch adjustment, simulating the real world flying practice seems preferable to me. It is also the only manual control variable pitch propeller that we have letting us see the engine speed changing with airspeed unless pilot compensated.

Still. the ATA readings don't look coherent with throttle settings....

At full throttle the needle doesn't even como close to 1.0 ATA ???

The supercharged engines are a bit disappointing.

It's an "E" - my bad
