KG 13(x) Control Stick

Basic Buttons Fw190D

A-Knopf: 2x MG 151 (wing-root mounted), [only if installed: 2x MG 17 (fuselage mounted)]
B1-Knopf: [only if installed: 2x MG 151 cannons (wing mounted)]
B2-Knopf: drop ordnance

Buttons Bf109-G6

Bf 109 G-6 without Rüstsatz R6 (two wing-mounted MG 151 cannons):

A-Knopf: 2x MG 131 (fuselage mounted)

B1-Knopf: 1x MG 151 (engine mounted)
B2-Knopf: drop ordnance

Bf 109 G-6 with Rüstsatz R6 (two wing-mounted MG 151 cannons):

A-Knopf: 2x MG 131 (fuselage mounted) and 1x MG 151 (engine mounted)

B1-Knopf: 2x MG 151 (in wing pods)
B2-Knopf: drop ordnance


Hitech should have the A8 root 20mm and hood MG13 tied together on one button and the wing 20mm\30mm on another. But, still allow fire All as an option.

A-Knopf is the lever which in safe mode is pulled back and up over B1-Knopf(top center button). To fire A-Knopf it is pushed down and forward used toggle a fire button like a trigger. The Wing root 20mm and hood MG13 fire together. B1-Knopf the top button is for the wing mounted 20mm or 30mm. All can be fired together by pulling the lever trigger and holding down on the button. In the picture below, B2-Knopf is the lower button on the left had side of the column which is used to drop ordnance. This whole thing with how weapons are mounted to buttons on the KG12 control stick should be revisited since it was specifically designed to service the multiple weapons options in the Luft in specific orders of button presses.

190a8 weapons info pdf


  Yes Gyrene thats the manual I was looking at,I have a copy also, and 1 for the 410 somewhere that has me stumped as to where I put it.

  If you look at the flight controls section you will see the electrical operated horizontal stab. Something I wasnt aware of before.

Flown right the 190 owns everything. What you're saying is you don't know how to fly German Iron.

I wonder if I could modify my CH to look just like that 109 stick?

You have much to learn...German iron.

You like British planes anyway...no?

I have no preference in planes, I spend most of my time in a plane I dedicate to a tour. Like the F4U recently.

The Ki-84 is a premier performer and a very dangerous opponent, sometimes being called "the jap 190".

That seems like an easy and prefered change.  :salute

Some people, like Draggon and Angleyes are expert in this plane.  For my part, I find the plane too sluggish and snappy even if its gun package is amazing.  I can see how a really e-conservative player could use this to their advantage - but I prefer the 109F4, or 190A5 that has some e-generating possibility.
