SilverFox23...The V-3 is a Frankenplane, the Modder accidently took our Me 262 with main-gear and
attached tail-gear to it. This way a prob persists, Messerschmitt erased by having
a completely different main-gear angle in the tailsitters.
I talked and pointed to this problem as long as this Mod exists, back on
AAA, got harsh or no responses at all, at SAS I made Reply #13 on:Me-262-V3 own slot.
Problem is, our V-3 needs re-design of main-gear, but most likely
no one's out to do it.
The discrepancies are eye-dropping to Me 262 fanatics.
We need to get rid of A-1A mainwheel design and it's 90° angle.
If we take a look at original V-3, the bay doors are
a way more forward than late production design. In sideview it should be at least
close to Engine and wing leading edge.
My method for take off, may vary to other experienced Members here (No flaps version=0°):
To get airborne in our virtual skies, apply full elevator trim and button for fully raised elevator (set in settings, needs to be pushed constantly, as it sweeps back if you move stick), try avoid using flaps (this may cause a lift).
Give Throttle slowly, reach 150 KM/H (mark at half of the runway! Yes!) and try to keep tail down as long as you roll and possible. Slightly increase Throttle till 180 KM/H (at 3/4 of Runway!) and keep applying elev. trim and full raising at same time (tail down!). It lifts close to airstrips end from alone, if you're safe in height,
wheels in and trim back to horizontal flight.
Needles to say, you may need extra long airstrips in-game.
Don't move throttle fast or use brakes during take-off procedure as this causes you to nose over.
I would call myself an Me 262 expert and wasn't able to land this bird, funny isn't it. Tried all methods I should know about, applying brakes here is fatal.
I apply full elevator to force tail to ground, still I end up nosing, how hard I try.
In my eyes such a wheel configuration barely would have passed the Messerschmitt engineering design staff, as it was tested
to bone on weight balance before passing production etc. The longest strips in IL-2 we have, aren't long enough to make perfect landings without using brakes,
cause that's the application and design of brakes, to use them.
