The "only over 800m switch" is the throttle limiter, it prevents overboosting the engine with limiting the throttle physically. Thank you for your content! 💙
I tried this airfield with the JU 52… man, it took me well over 10 attempts to get right. This sucker just won’t slow down, and will glide forever! So i over run that strip so many times i actually lost count. Great video and start up procedure tutorial BTW
My understanding is that the "Throttle Gas" switch next to throttles is a limiter. When you put it in the "AN" meaning "ON" position you limit your throttles so you can't push the throttle to maximum engine output. I'm guessing it would be a mechanical lock / interlock system that prevents throttles from being pushed fully forward. Once you reach 800m altitude you can set switch to "AUS" = "OFF" and should then be able to push throttles to maximum level. This is all just speculation on my end, and I don't see it actually prevent full throttle in either position in the sim. I would assume a limiter system like that would be to prevent engines from overheating while airplane is on the ground (i.e. low airflow for cooling the engines). Once airborne you got airflow for cooling and can then turn off the lock and push engines harder. Anyways, that's my guess :)
One of my life’s dreams is to learn to fly, but after watching this video, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to. You need a literal PhD to operate an aircraft like this.
I have no idea if this thing is accurate but it's a very interesting plane to fly for sure with how big and light it seems to be. But yeah, it just refuses to land and glides forever on idle.

Whilst I'm not brave enough to try fly this myself, I was in awe of your skills and watched from start to finish.
Thank you

Lovely video! A real shame MS has not included a manual, this plane could really need one ...
Great video as usual ....................please any chance you can share your spreadsheet......
That would be very helpfull
Thank you so much - I can take and fly this historical aircraft thanks to your video. Just need to master the Mk1 Spitfire now.

Makes me want to watch Where Eagles Dare. Or maybe listen to?
Enjoyable and informative. Thanks
"Reise" means "Cruise". "Flug" means "Flight". Referring to flaps settings.
Please add the spreadsheet, thank you .
So is level flight and navigation all done through trim?

Wow! There's a lot goin on to get the old bird in the air!

Not surprising with THAT wing area )
Nice flying of the big bus. Tempted to purchase.
I can concur... It's a lot of fun. Worth the $15 for me.

Was the inspiration for the disney logo.
Does this Ju52 feel authentic in terms of how it flies and behaves on the ground ?
I guess no luftwaffe veterans here, sorry ;)
Airport ICAO?
Somehow the hidden avionics don't work for me.
