On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
This is the wierdest sensation, as the pilot you are offset to the left. So when taking off on your first go, don’t be surprised if you feel like you are plowing into the R hand side - feeling as though you need to level out . I found myself trying to correct it - my fault I did not examine the aircraft before getting in!
1 Tiny spot where engine sounds are much louder in the cabin - Moving the interior up and down from this angle it is just here where it kicks in again but for only a moment before the sound dies again.
She’s got huge power on take off which seems to reduce once up. I don’t know if it’s just the visual ground effect but I did expect much more throttle response.
Otherwise easy to fly and a bit Carenado’ish once you get used to the offset pilots seat.
Wish the canopy was openable-and the door that opens not jumping you back to walk-around mode even when you have start flight with walk-around mode off.
I’m enjoying flying this so far, modelling texturing looks great and the engine sounds are decent. I agree that it would be nice to have a manual though and a big improvement if we could open the canopy.
Flew Berlin to Hamburg tonight and had good time admiring a beautiful looking plane!
Also, has anyone gotten the interior lighting to work? I have instrument lighting at 100% but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Cockpit is completely dark at night except for the pitot heat indicator
EDIT: If you start with the plane already running, interior lighting works as intended. If you start from cold and dark, it’s dysfunctional. I’m going to make a bug report.
EDIT 2: I can’t select the Heinkel in tags for bug reporting, so I guess I’ll keep that here for now
Okay, the lighting issue is weirder than I thought. If you start on the runway (already running) at night, the instrument lighting works. If you start cold and dark or on the runway during the day, the instrument lighting doesn’t work at all.
And if you start already running at night to get the instrument lighting to work, the dial will initially be at 0% despite showing full brightness.
Other than this bug I’m enjoying the plane. Hoping for a fix because interior lighting issues are one of my big pet peeves in sim!
Probably not if the switches are in the cabin. Nothing was clickable in there.
If the power switch is in the cabin it might.
I felt the whole electrical system was a bit broken esp where the other person sits in the cockpit with only the 2 coms dials working.
Normally Inibuilds does a better job than this. Oh well, it was cheap enough.
Cruise speed should be short of 300 kph. It barely reaches that speed with a firewalled engine and a mostly retracted radiator. Ease back the throttle and the speed drops to about 250 kph.
Max speed should be north of 340 kph. Even at sea level it only reaches 314 with completely retracted radiator.
Additionaly issue: The iconic lightning stripe is wrong. The last, upper zig-zag is located above the height of the exhausts and should intersect the round forward right hatch window at the almost very top.
Edit: The lightning stripe does not seem to be part of the texture as far as I can see…
