Hello folks, this seems like just the right place to ask - I've just been on the ATAG server for the third time in two days, in a 109. Start up and take off are fine (apart from struggling to find the runways at Coquelles!!!) transit to England is just fine and dandy, but after 5-10 mins in country I get a bad vibration - I throttle back and it goes. It's happened each time -the second time I just put down to damage from a Spit, the first and third times there was - to the best of my knowledge - no aircraft near me or firing at me.
Any fiddling with prop pitch or radiators proved fruitless, there's no mixture to contend with, and initially I only have to throttle back to about 15% - another couple of mins later and I'm back at the stops. Tried an emergency landing at Littlestone on my latest go, I was just a few hundred yards outside the airfield and I opened the throttle a little to keep my height for just a little longer and it just rolled to the left - I managed to get it the right way up as I hit the ground but I think it'd wreck the a/c and my spine. Then the AAA started on me! :hiding2:
What am I doing wrong? Was I the subject, unknowingly, of ze Britishers aim? Please advise.
Ooh, one other thing - is there a guide to using the 109s prop pitch correctly? I wind it up to 12 o'clock for take off and then knock it down a bit but I've read somewhere hereabouts that it's quite important to keep adjusting in the 109 E-3.
