First of all, i dont know lot about aviation. Its new intrest of mine and i love it .. Well khmm. To the topic.. I dont know what i do wrong but jets in IL2 just ignite randomly. I do dive with power:0, jet ignites. I fly straight forward with 60%, jet ignites. I gain altitude with 100%, jet ignites. Whats the catch? What i do wrong? I just dont get it :/..

Do you mean catches fire?

If so check you aren't throttling up too fast, thats a sure fire way to set them on fire.

If you mean you are flying at a set throttle and it catches fire then that's a new one for me :?:

[Flegmatica]

Yes! I am throttling too fast cuz im using keyboard to throttle. 1-0. So if i need to power up fast then i press 0.

So what do you say is i need to use throttle gentle ?

[fozzy]

Yep, thats about the height of it, the 262 needs a very gentle touch. :wink:

Hi m8, hope the following extract helps you out.

Messerschmitt 262 take-off, flight and landing procedures in IL2 FB.

Take-off.
Select the left hand engine and press the engine start key (I by default) and then set the throttle to 10%. Watch the left hand engine RPM indicator and as soon as the revs start to rise close the throttle from 10% to zero. When the RPM indicator settles just above the zero on the indicator then repeat the above to start the right hand engine.
When both engines have been started press the select the all engines key on the keyboard (User Defined).
During the starting procedure the nose of the aircraft may have shifted to point off centre of the runway, if this is the case then apply the brakes and gently power up both engines and use the rudder to correct the alignment back to the centre of the runway. Once the nose is pointing down the centre of the runway then reduce the power back to zero and release the brakes. This procedure is vitally important-if the nose is not pointing down the centre of the runway then you will find when you apply power during take off you will rapidly slew across the runway and onto the grass (you will notice that this does happen on occasion with the AI aircraft with potentially disastrous results).
At this point the flaps can be set in the take off position and the elevator trim can be set to between two to four degrees positive.
When you are ready to begin take off, apply the brakes and keep them applied and begin to gently increase the power to both engines until the RPM indicators show 6,000 RPM, during the run up to 6,000 RPM the nose of the aircraft may start to move off centre of the runway and this again must be corrected with the rudder.
As soon as the aircraft in front off you has began its take off run then release the brakes and gently increase power to 100% using the rudder to maintain alignment with the centre of the runway (NOTE:- the rudder will not start to have any effect on alignment until the ground speed has increase to approximately 60kph).When the ground speed reaches 160kph the nose of the aircraft will start to lift, at this point gently pull back on the stick to break free from the runway and as soon as possible apply the brakes and retract the undercarriage. When an altitude of approximately 250 metres has been reached then retract the flaps and gently throttle back to just below 80% to return the engine temperature back to normal and begin your climb to combat altitude.

Save all your cash & buy a SAITEK X52 :lol: then you will really enjoy this wonderfull game.

:wink:

[Flegmatica]

Thank you guys :wink:

Oh and btw, it was my birthday some time ago and i thought long ago what to buy with money i got. Yes that's it, its X52 .

Hi,

I' m very glad for you, honest, i was flying for about four years, always with cheap/normal joysticks.......one day someone reccomended the x52, it had just come out then.....when i got it, you then realise why others fly so well :wink:

Your next step is a 'free'trk ir program, there's some good ones, just check the forum :wink:

and.......for xmas you want pedals, not essential since the x52 has 'twist stick', but if you get them the inmersion it provides is awsome.....thus resulting in sleeples night's, lots off pizza over your k/board & a room full of empty bear cans :lol:

Enjoy, it's honestly a wonderfull sim.
:wink:

I have upgraded to X 52 Pro, and my old stick is only lying around taking space in my crammed bookshelf. I can sell it to you for the cost of shipping. Send me a mail @ [{pelle_hedman_at_glocalnet_dot_net}] (remove all _ after the name and you
