The BF109E-3 engine management ist extreme realistic! The bird is absolutely unforgiving with complex engine managament enabled. If you do anything wrong with your prop-pitch or thrust you can forget your DB601A motor within seconds!
The DB601A motor is equipped with direct fuel injection and no mixture adjustments are possible.
The controllable-pitch propeller VDM can only be operated manually. Once you are in the air, vibration might indicate bad pitch, and failure to manage your systems can result in leaks and blown gaskets. You'll constantly have to adjust the pitch in order to maintain RPM while velocity increases. It takes a bit but it should get you to nearly 450 km/h indicated airspeed at sea level.
When both manifold pressure (ata) and RMP need to be changed, avoid engine overstress by making power adjustments in the proper order:
- When power settings are being decreased, reduce manifold pressure before reducing RPM. If RPM is reduced before manifold pressure, manifold pressure will automatically increase, possibly exceeding the manufacturer's tolerances.
- When power settings are being increased, reverse the order - increase RPM first, then manifold pressure.
Attention! Any pilot wishing to obtain maximum performance from the BF109E-3 would need to carefully regulate propeller speed. Unfortunately, this draws the pilot's attention into the cockpit, rather than allowing him to focus outside.
Happy landings
