Unstable or ground loop on landing? Just add full power (R Magneto ON) and go around.
Unstable or ground loop on landing? Just add full power (R Magneto ON) and go around.
===GUNS & RELOADING===
Guns have 400 rounds each, the maximum historical capacity of the Camel.
Fire with the 'e' key or a joystick trigger linked to /controls/armament/trigger.
Reload guns: Use the Camel Menu - you must be on ground, stopped, engine off.
===MISC===
TAXIING: In windy conditions, use elevator to hold tail firmly down for better steering authority.
At high RPM, prop wash
gives some rudder and elevator authority even at near stand-still. Use this plus the burst of power from Blip to
help maneuver and taxi over bumps.
Don't forget 'n' for nudge when you get stuck.
STALL: Push forward firmly on the stick, gain airspeed. Vigorously oppose any spin (rudder and ailerons). It may help to blip
engine off, reducing torque and gyroscopic moment. You will lose ~500 ft altitude or more.
TRIM: Real Camels had no trim mechanism and were tail heavy with full fuel - nose heavy with low fuel. With full fuel, constant 10-20 lbs forward pressure on the stick was required to maintain level flight.
Be aware of natural nose-up attitude and potential for inadvertent climb and stall whenever flying with full fuel!
Extensive help, tips, documents in the DOCS folder.
