Learn to fly the Fw 190 A-8/F-8/G-8 

Hah that's a funny coincidence!

Thanks Thiago :-)

Hey no worries, thanks for reminding me to do it!

Actually you don't need to open cowl shutters much in A-8. I am opening those to 0-5% and that's enough

Just remember to pull the stick back to lock the tailwheel if you want to taxi straight or are on the takeoff roll

@@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.

@@pierresavioz remember to use rudder and use it hard while taxxing but rudder wont work unless you got some airflow(i.e. speed)

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

Woops!

The Air Combat 😊

Yeah its a typo

It regulates the airflow to the engine to help control the cylinder head temperature

@@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.

@@pierresavioz Just adjust it by opening/closing to maintain optimum CHT (cylinder head temperature)

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 :-)

@@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).

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

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.
