There are two answers complicated and simple , i have no idea what the complicated one is apart from prop pitch affects prop rpm , the simple answer is this has a neglible effect on airspeed

Yeah I like the term airscrew. I think that gives a better mental image of the prop pitch. Increase the prop, you increase the tightness of the screw threads. The tighter the screw threads the more bite it has in the air. This means increasing prop pitch will actually help you slow down or speed up depending on speed and throttle.
no no it doesnāt help you speed up with high throttle it will enable faster acceleration but throwing prop pitch forward at high throttle it more liable to slow you down due to drag

Yes sorry. Faster acceleration and deaccelertion is what it truly is.

Hi Mat,
Iām quoting Archer hereā¦
āInteresting. So whatās your opinion on the current flight model concerning the points mentioned above?ā
I would also love to hear your opinion on the flight model from your FSX days in comparison to the Inibuilds version, you have manuals and contact with owners and workshop personnel which might shed some more light on this.
There is a fair bit of debate on this and your opinion would be most helpful.
I just bought the plane yesterday, Iāve read all the comments, watched reviews etc.
Iāve flown a few flightās now, certainly a bit of right aileron and left rudder on takeoff helps a lot, the aileron roll thing I would like a second opinion on.
If your findings were the same then thatās the way it is and itās fine, if you have different experience of the aileron characteristics then hopefully something can be changed.
I really like this plane BTW, superb in VR.

I have the same I just canāt get it to fly off the runway. No matter what I do it rolls to the left and plows into the ground. I have tried, less rpm, more rpm, no flaps, 15% flaps etc. This plane just will not take off. If there was a way to trim the ailerons to the right that would help may be. While taking off I already try to give rudder and ailerons to the right but it just does not responds because it is also stalling I think?
I finally got it off the ground. I had to trim it even more down than it already was trimmed.
There is. Just add buttons / an axis / POV head / ā¦ for aileron trim in the settings. Holding the aileron trim right button for around one second before starting the take-off roll helps tremendously.

I hope they redo the sounds. It sounds like the engine is about to quit. I just bought it yesterday, and I canāt fly it with those sounds.
It seems to have the BF-109 flight model: hard right stick and rudder on takeoff.
I think the sounds are probably the best part of the model. It sounds like the real one:

the 109 is not the only plane to have those characteristics and this is the same company and in many ways the planes are similar but if you fly it you will see it has not an ounce power close to the 109
Those sounds are excellent. I hope the new sound engine in 2024 will sort things out.
Quick question: What would be a reason for the engine quitting about 15 minutes into the flight?
thanks!

Anyone got the fuel gauge always showing full on the metric version but dropping correctly on the imperial version of the pit?
Take offs are now a doddle in this this after flying the 109 for a while.
A lot of energy management still required for landings though, very slippery indeed.
@ Luis, is this still happening to you?
Nothing wrong with the current sound engine. But it can only play back to us what the developers put in there. No sound engine in the world can fix bad audio recordings or bad sound mixing. Thatās how we get the difference between the FlyingIron Spitfire and the Aeroplane Heaven P-51 with the very same sound engine. Worlds apart!

No, I think the engine quitting problem was due to some other add-on, I cleaned the system and the Taifun is working fine.
Iāll check the fuel gauge, I think it is broken in the metric panel.
I donāt have the 109 Iām using the Taifun in preparation for the challenge!
No disrespect to the Taifan, but the 109 is so much better. Youll love it if you love an honest challenge.
The engine cuts out if you wear it out. You need to crank the RPMās down after take off (the weird handle in the middle of the cockpit, scroll wheel it up and down to move) to around the 10āoāclock position and then bring the manifold pressure (ATA) down to around 0.7 - 0.8. The RPM for cruise is actually put on the dashboard in front of you.
