Zius Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Is there anything new to report regarding the Me-262? It is one of the modules I'm most looking forward to...

QuiGon Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Coming next year, we have new AI air units like the P-47D, Ju-88, Fw 190 A-8, A-20G, C-47, Bf 109 G, Mosquito, C-47 and others taking to the skies of DCS World War II. Of these, we are already at work making the P-47D, Fw 190 A-8 and Mosquito flyable. In parallel, the new damage model system is now being applied to all our warbirds. What happened to the 262? :cry: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

ED Team NineLine Posted December 21, 2018 Author ED Team Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's still coming, but maybe later than above, they have collected a number of documents on it, so I think most of the research for it is done.

gabuzomeu Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 NineLine, for the WWII abckers (a long story..) do you think there cld be an opportunity to add the A8 and Mosquito to the possible rewards (so we don't have to wait for the 262 which does not seem on the priority list)?

ED Team NineLine Posted December 21, 2018 Author ED Team Share Posted December 21, 2018 No, I highly doubt you will see anything change or be added to the rewards. It wouldn't be fair to anyone that has already claimed rewards, and we just don't need any more drama or stress over the whole Kickstarter thing.

Ala13_ManOWar Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 So around 25 pounds per G is the stick force needed. Interesting info as we will see people claiming like in 109 it's too hard to pull G's and probably I guess the reason why it's like that is the very same as in 109, movable stabilizer trim configuration but they won't attend to charts, they know better :lol:.

otto Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I would like to know that is if Yo-Yo or another expert has time to answer : Does the swept wing improve top speed or acceleration performace in any way for the me262? I keep hearing the sweep was used just to improve center of gravity on this plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted February 22, 2019 Author ED Team Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I am not the expert you are asking for, but as I understood it, the 262 wings arent really traditionally swept wings, only swept for what you mention, to improve COG and how the aircraft handled those engines on its wings. Nice little blurb here on it. https://www.dlr.de/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-5103/8592_read-21499/ Edited February 22, 2019 by NineLine Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing the sweep was used just to improve center of gravity on this plane. 262 had this type of a wing as one of the possible variant, and, if I remember right, initially there was a variant with non-swept wing. Germans did know much more about transsonic effects and kept researchng on swept wing because this type of a wing is not the best for subsonic flight, first of all due to lower aspect ratio, but allows to lower stability issues at high subsonic and transsonic speeds.

Snapage Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It will be very cool to have the 262. Will be interesting how it matches up vs the allied aircraft. I'm guessing it will be an aircraft that sweeps in to strike and then extends away to repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibbyland Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hanging out for a good 262. Would love to see this sim dominate the WW2 setting all round, I could uninstall all my others then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmirkingGerbil Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Throttle regulator Question for Dev's, or NineLine - if feasible at this time. Not sure which version of 262 we are getting, but will it include the throttle regulator that was added late war to reduce stalls and flame outs (though not completely), or will the model be of the variety that meant you really had to handle the throttles with kid gloves, and light touch?

xvii-Dietrich Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 btw spit IX was first allied plane which shot down me262 i think That might be Me-262 Werk-Nr 170093 of 3./KG 51. It got into a dogfight with Spitfire Mk.IX from RCAF No.401 Sqn on 05-Oct-1944. During the fight, shots were fired by both sides. It is not clear whether a Spit.IX landed a hit or whether there was a spontaneous engine fire on the Me-262 due to the exertion of the combat or some mechanical failure. There was no gun-camera footage of hits being scored. Still, either way, the Me 262 burned and crashed... and Spit.IXs were involved. This was the third combat loss overall. The first was 28-Aug-1944 when an Me-262 was "manoeuvre-killed" (actually the pilot survived) by P-47s of 78th Fighter Group and the second was 02-Oct-1944 when P-47s of 356th Fighter Group chased an Me-262 until it ran out of fuel, and was forced to ditch, destroying the aircraft. The Me-262s were from 1./KG51. I am unable to find any information on the first confirmed kill (gun cam or independent witness report) of an Me-262 by gun fire.

I'm guessing it will be an aircraft that sweeps in to strike and then extends away to repeat. You guess correctly. The engines have extremely long spool up times, and it doesn't do well in initial acceleration at lower speeds. You bleed off too much speed and you won't be able to get it back. You get them up to about 600kmh and make sure you never go below that point, more or less.

nervousenergy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Multiplayer missions with a stream of AI B-17s could be fun. ME262's / A-8s with an objective of knocking down X number of bombers, and P-51s running high cover trying to keep that from happening. Use air starts for both to keep the mission lively. Hmm...
