I-153 M-62 and I-153P
When climbing, it is required to set the supercharger to stage 2 (Supercharger Next Stage) when passing 2200 meters. When going below 2200 m, one should return the supercharger back to stage 1 (Supercharger Prev. Stage).
In addition, fuel mix requires adjustment at altitudes above 4.0 km. At those altitudes, the engine carburetor is incapable of producing optimal mixture with low-density high altitude air. When the engines begins trailing smoke and suffer power loss or RPM instability, adjust the mix level (using Increase Mixture and Decrease Mixture control keys) until the engine returns to the regular output.

A Russian modification with the engine found on the LaGG-3 requires the same engine handling. The supercharger requires to be set to stage 1 when flying below 2200 meters, and to stage 2 above 2200 meters.
Bf-109G-6/AS, Bf-109G-10/G-14 and Bf-109K-4
These aircraft are equipped with MW50 injection system. The system operates automatically, giving the engine additional power as you move the throttle control beyond the 100% mark. The system can be switched on and off (using the WEP control key), however, it may only be done when the engine is idle or running on lower throttle to prevent damage. Also, it should be switched off when it runs out of water-methanol mix as it can’t operate properly without external pressure and may lead to engine damage.
FW-190s
Mixture corrections may be required above 9000 meters.
FW-190D-9 (1945)
The plane is equipped with MW50 system, similar to the one installed on the Bf-109, and has the same restrictions.
FW-190F-8
The boost is effectiveness only bellow 1,000 meters. It was even prohibited to use over 1000 meters altitude.

Flaps are automatically retracted at 250 km/h (155 mph)
Gear can only be operated manually; you have to manually assign keys for it in the Controls section.
F4U Variants
Switch supercharger speeds at 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) and 8,200 meters (26,900 feet)
The aircraft are also equipped with speed brakes that utilize a part of the gear mechanism. Please do not use this function during take-offs and landing, as in this way the gear isn’t supported by additional hydraulic pump and may very well break off under the stress.
F6F Variants
Switch supercharger speeds at 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) and 8,100 meters (26,570 feet)
A6M3-A6M7 and intermediate variants:
Switch supercharger speeds at 3,300 meters (10,800 feet)
Note: A6M5c is modeled with the Sakae 31a engine with methanol injection, instead of the Sakae 21. The cockpit has a gauge showing the quantity of the methanol mix. Unfortunately we were not able to find any detailed photos showing this gauge, and it is based on a diagram that may not adequately represent the historical gauge.
A6M7 model 62 also uses the Sakae 31a, however A6M7 model 63 reverts to Sakae 21 because of historical shortage of newer engines.
G4M:
Switch supercharger speeds at 3,000 meters (9,840 feet)
Ki-84:
Switch supercharger speeds at 2,500 meters (8,200 feet)

Using the SPB
The SPB consists of the TB-3 mothership and a pair of attached I-16s. There are special versions of these, TB-3 4M-34R SPB and I-16type24 SPB.
When building a mission, you can attach the I-16 to the mothership the same way you attach gliders to planes – set up a flight of I-16s with one waypoint, and set the waypoint’s target to the TB-3 (go to the Waypoint tab of the Object window with your I-16 selected, hit the Set button and click on the TB-3). The I-16 will be attached to the TB-3 in the beginning of the mission. You cannot build missions where I-16s start detached from the TB-3 and attach afterwards.
AI flying these I-16s will automatically detach when the TB-3 approaches a GATTACK waypoint. The I-16s then will attack the site and return to escort the TB-3 back. You may use the “Aircraft Attach/Detach” button when flying these planes to detach from the TB-3, or drop the I-16s if you’re flying the TB-3.
In dogfight mode, you may attach your I-16 to the TB-3 mothership while on the airfield. To do so, taxi the plane to the attachment port under the TB-3’s wing, and press the “Aircraft Attach/Detach” button. Your plane will be attached to the mothership and your landing gear will be raised automatically.
Note that while attached to a TB-3, I-16s drain the mothership’s fuel reserve, and if their engines are left at low RPM their fuel tanks will slowly refill to 100%.
According to historical sources there were many different versions of the SPB link-up. We only model one of them which was used in 1942 and later.
Using the K-14 gunsight
Use the ‘Toggle Sight Mode (Auto)’ button to switch gunsight mode. Use the ‘Adjust Sight Control to Right’ and ‘Adjust Sight Control to Left’ buttons to select the target aircraft type. Use the ‘Increase Sight Distance’ and ‘Decrease Sight Distance’ buttons to adjust the sight circle for the target aircraft to fit in it. Track the target aircraft for at least 2 seconds to maintain correct lead.
Using the Stuvi gunsight
Before the dive in your Ju-87D-5 (Ju-8
you must set your dive airspeed (true) by buttons “Increase Sight Velocity” and “Decrease Sight Velocity” and bomb drop altitude by buttons “Increase Sight Altitude” and “Decrease Sight Altitude”. When the plane enters the dive you must place the crosshairs onto your target and keep it there. When the plane reaches the preset altitude the warning horn will sound. The pilot should drop the bombs at this point, after which point the plane will be automatically leveled off.
Dive Bombing Method in the Ju-88
These are the actual instructions from the historical Fl Üb 8-179/4 manual.
(Traditional method with "Dive Automation")
1. Close radiator.
2. Set propeller pitch to 100% (Auto).
3. Set bombsight speed to estimated drop speed (can also adjust during dive).
4. Set bombsight altitude (for example 1000m).
5. Center trim (on Ju88 red marks).
6. Press Divebrake button (this will also trim plane to dive).
7. Set power to idle (0%).
8. Take aim with ring in top part of the sight. Also take note of the dive
bombing marker ("Krawatte") below the ring on the vertical line.
9. Hold target in the ring until you hear the drop altitude warning buzzer.
10. Pull up so that the dive bombing marker becomes superimposed on the
target. Hold steady for a moment.
11. Press the bomb release button (this will also initiate the pull-out by centering
the trim again).
12. Press the divebrake button again to raise the brakes up.
13. Apply power slowly to avoid overspeeding the engines.
14. Open the radiator and adjust prop pitch for cruise, if necessary.
Notes on Ta-152H-1
This plane has two systems of engine boost: GM-1 for high altitudes and MW-50 for low altitudes.
GM-1 should be used at altitudes above 9,000 m
1. If you reach that altitude with the MW-50 Off, you can turn on the GM-1 by hitting W button (default).
2. If you reach that altitude with the MW-50 enabled, then you need to switch it off by hitting W and then press W again to engage the GM-1.
Bellow 9,000 m the W key operated only the MW-50 as normal.
3. If the GM-1 was engaged at a high altitude and was not disengaged below 9,000 meters, then the engine will not be damaged as on DB-605s; however no extra power will be gained from the device. This is historically correct.
Notes on He-162 and Go-229
Both the He-162 and Go-229 are equipped with ejection seats. However these are not modern 0-0 ejection seats, and you have a very low chance of survival punching out below 500 meters of altitude or stationary on the ground. Also, try not to eject when flying inverted at tree-top level.
Go-229 is modeled without the historically optional drag chute; you must brake with only wheel brakes as on other planes.
We have also modeled small air brakes on this aircraft used for low speed stability and for spin recovery.
Notes on Do-335
1. Aircraft is equipped with propeller feathering devices. They work normally like on other two-engine bombers of the sim (i.e. when using separate engine control).
2. Speeds for maximum rated power was calculated from the known German trial curves of A-0 series for the combat power ("Steig- und Kampfleistung") - 609 km/h at Sea Level and 773 km/h at 6,500 m
3. Aircraft is equipped with the ejection seat. The top vertical stabilizer and the rear propeller are also jettisoned for safer bail out.
