Hello guys,

I'm enjoying WOFF:UE a lot. I have two questions that I hope you can help me.

Regarding the SE5a, can I use the wing-mounted Lewis gun on the Foster mounting like this?

Second question. When I lose altitude my engine lose a bit of power. Sometime I use autopilot a few seconds to adjust whatever I'm doing wrong. I carefully set the mixture and full magneto but I can't recover the power manually.

Are there other mechanics than magneto, mixture and throttle?

Thanks!

Wing-mounted Lewis is fixed in one position.

Mixture in WOFF has a limited function. For example, you can start any plane with mixture at 0% and there is no difference in engine power with either full, or 3/4, or 1/2 mixture settings. It is painful for me to admit that Auto mixture seems to work better.

Also, the radiator doesn't work as it should.

I have posted many times asking for proper engine management function in WOFF, but it would be too much work with no profit for OBD.

If you have the mixture leaned for maximum power at high elevation, then your motor will have no power as soon as you lose altitude, so that's expected.
If you then richen the mixture your power should come back fully, if things are working properly.
Works fine for me anyway.
If you get different results then something is screwy, yep.

What 77_Scout said, if you leaned it, you need to enrich it when going lower.

The lowering of the lewis gun animation was added originally to all those that had foster mounted lewis etc and you can still do it in some aircraft, just the key is not in WOFF currently. Not some craft like the Se5a now will not show it properly in the virtual cockpit anymore as we didn't bother working on it more when all the aircraft where overhauled. You can't fire it upwards anyway and all the drums are already "loaded.
it was just for fun or those that wanted to simulate a reload.

Anyway for some and external view only on SE5 series..

Add this line to your WOFFkeys.xca in appdata\roaming\obd_games etc
<Key ID="C" Mod="Shift" Action="TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT" FriendlyDesc="Lower Gun" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
but please do not post pictures of it not working properly if you mod this.
