Me 262 B-1a/U1 "Nachtjäger"

15.1k Ichko  4.6 years ago

A Replica of a specific ME 262, not the standard one. I simply like the look of this version more. Maybe I will remake it into the regular later.

Fully (mostly) functioning cockpit. Had problems with the turn and bank coordinator so it only shows roll angle(I know how to do it, it just gets stuck and I ragequit). Intended to be flown cockpit view, screenshot mode, for the true 1945 experience (run out of ammo and fuel half way, basically).

Standard controls, VTOL down for flaps.
All cockpit gauges are in metric.

[Take-off and Landing]
Quick acceleration, you can roll at 250-300 KM/h. Good landing speed is 200 with full flaps.

[Handling]
Turns well, quick acceleration, stalls at 180KM/h with no flaps. Has a slight banking to the left. Top speed in a level flight is around 900KM//h

[Arnament]
4 cannons, 2 with 70 rounds, 2 with 100 rounds.
I increased the speed from the historical 550m/s, but even with the new speed, there is a significant drop off in the shells.

Note:
Most of the instrumentation on the right does not actually display information. Since the game does not measure things like oil pressure, temperature or engine RPM, they are all tied to throttle. The engine RPM indicators are at such speed that they reach max in the same time it takes the engine to reach max power, so they are....somewhat accurate.
The fuel gauges are accurate.

    @Attackalpaca Sure you can, but I would not advice it. I use alot of hidden/scaled wings, hidden engines and negative weight blocks. Feel free to try, but you will probably have problems.

    Nice one, i hope you can bring the solo pilot version. I think it takes off quite fast, i usually use smooth(throttle, 0.05) as input on the engines to somewhat makes the take off more realistic. Keep up the good work.
