Great video, as always! They have been a great help in learning about the aircraft in BoX. I did have to chuckle at the length of this video: 8:01...considering the powerplant of the FW is the BMW 801... ;-)
Regarding the temperatures, is the only way to tell your cylinder heads are overheating the rpm needle swaying, or is there another function I'm not aware of?
@@RequiemsACTL okay i think I'm getting it, but it was a nightmare. Dealing with the tail wheel break, the left and right wheel brake and the torso of my joystick for the "tail horizontal flap" sorry if the words are not correct. BUT i have to say that I am very pleased to read your commentary nearly 2 days after I posted my question.
@@RequiemsACTL Thank you very much! Am I suppose to keep it open during every moment in the air or just when the engine is overheating? And by the way, your videos are amazingly complete and useful.
@@RequiemsACTL It would be interesting to see a video about the differences between the A-8, F-8 and G-8, like weapons options and their tactical employment. I also believe the G-8 was equipped with a auto-pilot and other navigational aids (don't now if the simulation reflects this).
putting the flap and gear indicators on the WING is an absolute 5head design decision. Because that's honestly where your gut is gonna tell you to look when you want to check those things, because that's where the flaps and gear ARE.
Nope. It's just an example of using the WWII manual for it and applying it to a simulated airplane. Outside of learning the cockpit layout and flying technique/procedures there is no comparison to flying a real airplane versus a game or simulator. Even the Level D simulators I train in are close, but they still are not comparable to the real thing. If you fly a Fw 190 or other warbirds in real life though people would love hearing about your experience if you want to share.
Great tutorial, beautifull plane. Now hoping for the FW Dora :-)
Cool to come back to this and refresh my memory while I fly the A-6
You take off (and landing) smoothly as no one!
Thanks Thiago :-)

Hah that's a funny coincidence!
I was waiting for this video... Thank you Requiem! Very informative!
Hey no worries, thanks for reminding me to do it!
Grrrreat stuff Req... thanks!

NIce video!
I'm strugling to take of. I'm always turning round and round...
Just remember to pull the stick back to lock the tailwheel if you want to taxi straight or are on the takeoff roll

@@pierresavioz remember to use rudder and use it hard while taxxing but rudder wont work unless you got some airflow(i.e. speed)
I came here looking for how to use the cowl shutters, as the 190 doesn't have water temperature gauge
Actually you don't need to open cowl shutters much in A-8. I am opening those to 0-5% and that's enough
Sweet vid. Where did you get the in-game manual??
Great video as usual but no mention of gear retraction in the TKOF notes ?
Woops!
The Air Combat
😊
does the IFF work? i believe its supposed to blip when you're recognized by a friendly ground radar right?
No I don't think so. It could end up being a part of the new air marshal mode being developed but I'm not sure.
IFF isn't functional right now
are optimal and max cyl temps flipped? optimal is higher than max....
Yeah its a typo
Can anybody explain me what is the purpose of the Cowl Shutter? thanks
It regulates the airflow to the engine to help control the cylinder head temperature

@@pierresavioz Just adjust it by opening/closing to maintain optimum CHT (cylinder head temperature)
Just a nitpick. It´s not Battle of Bodenplatte, is Operation Bodenplatte (during the battle of the bulge or Ardennes Offensive)
Yeah no worries at all Icterio, I know it's an operation...just following the naming convention for how the sim is sold is all :-)

Yeah I would like to do that for sure. Will likely come after I get out some videos for P-47 ground attack I'm working on atm
And how lang can you fly with the boost?

Armaments?

"Learn to fly the Fw 190" Hahaha, do you really think to "fly" an FW 190 in a sim has anything to do with the real plan?
Nope. It's just an example of using the WWII manual for it and applying it to a simulated airplane.
