190 book....

[Angus]

Regarding the 109's performance (excuse me for being to Sptfire-ish, sort of got carried away )
I saw somewhere a comparation between the F6F and a captured 190. I think it is somewhere on my Hard-Drive. If you have not seen it Hazed, I'll have a look and upload it.
Gives a nice comparison between the F6F and the 190, - sort of the things HTC have to look into when they try to put up all this planeset sensibly.
And they've dpne quite a job. All we can do is polish it a bit

sure angus id like to see that if you'd post a link or whatever

Hazed: All the quotes in here about comparison and dive speed are from that single book of Peter Caygill??
If yes, i think its time for me to spent some money again.

Hazed: I searched frantically through my HD, but did not find what I was looking for.
However, I found a saved old thread with huge amounts of info, so I revived it.
Thread name: "Okay let's try this again. Faults with Air Craft."
Hope you can use some bits from it

thnks angus.

Naudet yes its a bit like the osprey books, you know card cover pretty good quality paper (@100 pages)with b/w pics and colour drawings of various 190s.A lot of the info can be found in other books but Im glad i bought it. What ive put up here is most of the stuff i found that i hadnt seen before as i have many 190 books.If you like to collect books on various planes then this 'Combat Legends' series is pretty good.
I have the P51 and the 190 and both are interesting reads.I still feel there must be a book out there with even more detail about them but if your after the all round types these are great.

breif run down of whats in it to help you decide,It has lists of the various types of 190s, a few excerpts from tests, background on prototypes and development, stories of 190s in combat, stuff about the mechanics and the aces and rest is lists of weapons etc plus something unique to all combat legends books, a list of all known surviving 190s and where they are displayed.(same for p51 with names of owners and everything! ) and for just £9.99 ($14.95)its cheap

hell just buy it lol

Most fighters have two sets of weapons, generally a set of machine guns and a set of cannon, although planes with just machine guns like the P-47, P-51, and Corsair would have the machine guns divided into two sets. If you look at your instrument panel in the plane, you'll see the two sets with their ammo counts. If you load more orgnance (bombs, rockets, drop tanks), these would show up in your secondary weapon indicator -- but you have to select them. The default key to change the secondary weapon is the backspace key -- when you're up in your A-5 with an egg, press backspace; you should see the indicator change from 'xxx' (number of rounds) and 'CAN' (cannon) to '1' and 'B5' (500-lb bomb -- or whatever you have loaded). Now that you have the bomb selected, pressing your secondary-fire key will drop it.
