Bf 108 now released!

[Mathias Pommerien]

Correct, kleineMax, no opening engine hood.
I rather spend my polygon budget on the interior than for short-lived effects.

[kleineMax]

Jep, good choice. (the performance is good, but it can compete with the airbus X )

PS: Did you notice my edit here

Hmm, I don't quite understand, is that praise or criticism?

[kleineMax]

Hm, lets say. From the look of the A/C in comparison to the performance, everything is fine.

But still i have only 13-14 FPS with it standing at position 121 at EDDP (aerosoft GAP2, aerosoft VFR Ger, REX; my testing possition ^^) with 40% AI Traffic and most of the scenery sliders nearly up.
Thought i would have more.

System:
FSX Acc
CPU: Core i5 3.2-3.7 Ghz
Graka: Nvidia Geforce GTX 460
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Win 7 64bit

[Mathias Pommerien]

Ah, ok. With the Aerosoft fps suckers at max and all of us devs wanting something of your performance budget I'm not surprised that you get below 20fps.
Don't blame the aircraft alone though, the worse fps eater in your setup are the aerosoft sceneries in my experience.

[kleineMax]

Yeah i know and im not realy complaining, i just compared it to other aircrafts (like Airbus X and Just Flight Constellation) and it drains performance the most of this 2.

But as long as i have above 15fps on landings
(atm 23fps with bad weather on a flight to Mannheim)

PS: Oh and when were are speaking about the current flight, i had something strang.
While i was flying, i realy had low manfold pressure on max throttle (only 0,7-0,75) and a couple of seconds agou i was loosing nearly complete power. -> Iceing was my first thought... my second: 'But Pitot heat is on !'

So i stuck there with an A/C with now power gliding to the ground. Just for a test i switched the genartor on and off. THIS HELPED!! Right after switching the Gen on again the power came back completly.
So there is some how a problem?!

[Mathias Pommerien]

Loss of power may also be caused by overheating.
If you run above 90°C for too long you will experience exactly that, followed by engine stutters up to total failure.

The pitot tube doesn't cure carburetor icing btw, something this aircraft doesn't really have a medicine for, neither in real life nor in the Sim.

[Mathias Pommerien]

Talking about fps: If you want to experience the flight dynamics (not just with our stuff but with FS in general) you should at least be able to run constant 30fps.
FS tends to kill the FM first when it experiences low performance and with fps as low as 18 or below it's just becomes a sight seeing or toggle simulator.

Your right..stupid idea...

Ok will check Temp on the next flights, but how can the enige overheat if i fly with 0.7 atm and less then 1800 rpm?

[Mathias Pommerien]

That's right, should not overheat in that situation.
Right out of my head I don't have an idea.
Should it happen again we can look deeper into it.
