71st_AH Rob Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Much better, the A-9 :thumbup: I would like a Spitfire Mk. 24. Everyone of course wants the most advanced version of their favorite a/c, but the point of the A-8 (or even the F-8) is to give us a variant more appropriate for the Normandy Map we have. The A-9 is no better than the D-9, it never flew over this map, it didn't start production until September '44. The Mk. 24 at least would have flown over this map, albeit in 1946....

Christophe D Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 historical balance Online, "hot rods" could simply be available in limited numbers like it was in real life. An A-9 would be for instance a very interesting opponent against a possible Tempest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a detail, as DCS is a SIMULATION. The A-9 flew during WWII, not the Spit 24. So no for the Spit 24, but I would nevertheless not be against a Seafire 47 for a Korea map.

xvii-Dietrich Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 nobody wants F8? I CERTAINLY DO!!! Have been searching to see if I can find some better pictures of those F8 panels. Nothing yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Let's keep this On Topic please gents; this is a discussion/research/information thread for the Fw 190A-8 and it's immediately related F-8. Arguments about balanced plane-sets and other Fw variants or entirely different aircraft belong elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe D Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The A-9 fighter is more similar to the A-8 fighter than the F-8 attack aircraft btw. https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/241553-fw-190-a9/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad you could point out such a frankly obvious nugget of information whilst completely missing the point of my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 nobody wants F8? Oh bloody hell. As a ground pounder first and foremost I'd buy it on day one. So are we getting one for real???

robban75 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Damn, the A8 has a huge cockpit. I bet before the engine is running you have an echo in there :D I was lucky enough to sit in a Fw 190A-8 last year( 2018 ). I'm 184 cm and for me getting into the cockpit was slightly troublesome. In order to close the canopy I had to bow my head and angle my shoulders. Below the railing the cockpit is pretty wide, so no problems there. When the canopy was closed and I had adjusted myself in the seat it was actually quite comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draken152 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Guys, relax. Not need to "want this, want the". Help me to find that panel. Photographs, blue prints, schematics, operation description. Here are some pages from Ersatzteil Liste Fw-190-Band-4-Bewaffnung. You can find most of the information about the differences between bombing equipment in FW190 A8-F8-G8... It looks what are you searching for is Drehumshchalter Fl E 5816 .... Take look also on SWA 10 device what is really specific for F8..:music_whistling: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Building FW190D pit ,,To Dora with love" http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132743 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunctator Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 For me R30 looks a variant of the SWA 10 Auslöseschrittschaltwerk, which was also used to control the launch of R4M type rockets. If this photo is from a late war aircraft with Panzerblitz rockets installed it could explain the lack of documentation. https://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/fl-50959-ausloeseschrittschaltwerk-swa-10-xii-1944-2 https://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/fl-50959-ausloeseschrittschaltwerk-swa-10-xii-1944 https://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/fl-50958-ausloeseschrittschaltwerk-swa-10b-1944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have in books some pictures from NASM F-8 where is clearly visible it is not a device but just one hole in base plate with turn switch (in bottom probably with some text plate - that is missing in NASM F8 )...I will try to scan that photo when I will have time...

xvii-Dietrich Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Here are some pages from Ersatzteil Liste Fw-190-Band-4-Bewaffnung. Yes, indeed, you beat me to it! I've also been trawling through this document. My guess is that the I-II-III Drehumshchalter is for selecting the different underwing configurations, with the plate below in Coyote's image showing what the I-II-III positions are selecting (it looks like 3-4 tail-aspect versions of the aircraft with underwing stores marked). If so, then that lower part is an ancillary plate. That said, the whole box (incl. the bomb release mechanism to the right) is part of a single unit. In this case, it is unlikely to the an SWA-10. Is there a version of Coyote's photograph without the red box? I am also speculating here, but the R30 might actually be R3 plus some screw-head or photographic blemish. If so, is the R3 a reference to the Rüstsätze kit? I'm also looking at the "R?" on the panel above and the "S9" ("S1"?) on the panel to the right.

draken152 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Here are the promised photo sorry for quality I do not have possibility to scan them right now so I have made them with my mobile phone.... You can see it is part of base plate with hole for switch... Those letters with numbers R30 and S1 was made by service crew to easier identify the instrument panels components in electrical schematics... It was more or less standard in FW 190, only the amount of use was not the same.... btw. NASM Fw 190F-8 is Rüstsätze kit R1...

In the diagram we see the plate for the accommodation of instruments to control the outboard weapons. The view of the plate on the side. We see that the SWA 10 XII is fixed on the reverse side. On the front side there is only a switch (doubler), and below there is a place for a table with suspension options. Three questions. Who will be able to photograph the plate from the back side in the Museum? Who will be able to find a description of the operation of the device 10 SWA XII? Who will be able to find a table diagram of a suspension switch. I'm attaching everything.
