Hello to all. I fly exclusively fw190 A ... on version 4.09 and Up 2.01 of the game. Where can I find information on engine management for this phenomenal warbirds and would also like to know your opinion on the loyalty of your flight model.

Hey ST,

I'd recommend studying the manuals that ship with the game to understand how the flight models work in the "game world".  Google is your friend for "real world" information.  Then, to marry the two worlds together (to your individual taste), you need to unpack and modify the "flight model" file which is called "buttons", using the flight model editor which is called "NTRK Wizard"... you'll be starting to appreciate that the game developers didn't really want you poking around in here!  ;D

I don't know of a FM tutorial as such--it's very much a Dark Art--and you have to remember FM "improvements" are very subjective, you're taking a complex physical object in the real universe and reducing it to a very old (but much loved) piece of gaming software.  FM editing was closely guarded, I suppose in part for fear of online cheating. I have myself made simple changes like adding a 'Schilling Orifice' carburetor to early Merlin engines in Spitfires and Hurricanes (NOT historical but more fun to dogfight...IMO) as a very modest example.

To get you started, I can point you here:

Beware NTRK Wizard is UNSUPPORTED... so you're on your own out there!  :)

Good Luck!!

The FW190 BMW engine had a Kommandogerät, a kind of mechanical ECU (engine control unit) that was way ahead of anything else at the time ...

This ECU discharged the pilot of a lot of hassle to manage the engine, so he was less distracted and could concentrate more on all the rest ...

I will read carefully the contents of the links you have indicated to me. I will probably understand the reason for the strange behavior of the ATA indicator which sometimes shows sudden changes in values. do you have the same experiences? thank you

I ask you if the models of the fw190 available with UP2.01 are on par with the characteristics of those present in UP3.0 rc4. What do you tell me. Thank you
