Pe-8 issues - Scharnhorst1943 - 09.11.2007

Just like the Avenger, the CG for the Pe8 is off. It is WAY aft. Also, the cockpit is in the wrong location. The pilot possition is too forward. The pilot should be in the middle of the two inner ingines, but inside the plane, you are way forward of them.

I LOVE flying this bird, do not get me wrong, but it stilll needs some work.

all the mods need work they are after all not supposed to be :wink: things will never be perfect its just the way it is - we are trying to get them as good as possible & to give you people at least something to fly

I flew with both mentioned types and they're maybe not perfect but good enough to let the modders progress to new, yet unflyable types.

I hope I did not come accross as ungrateful. I was just trying to point out ways to make it better. Do not get me wrong, I love it as is, and it is better than no Pe8. But in order to be correct, it needs to be tweeked. I was just trying to help the modder

its ok Scharnhorst1943 - your feedback is greatly appriciated - its just that most often than not we know there are problems but we just try to bring you something which is at least flyable - and im first to admit they all need tweaking but that will be done later when we've got most planes done - then we can make them better & release new versions there are many things need tweaking with such a bird like the PE8.

Great to fly - impossible to taxi.

at least thats what I found with the Pe8

Easy on the throttle and brakes does it. In flight both Avenger and PE-8 has to be carefully trimmed out. TU-2 is a bugger to taxi though. Have to set left engine on some 60% throttle and manage the heading with help of brakes and right engine. It

Yep, and a reduced prop pitch.


Great for doing doughnuts though :lol:
