Excuse the separate thread but the 25/05/2012 update thread is geting pretty choked up.

Can you ask Ilya if it would be possible to release another mini patch just fixing a few simple things that are having a big impact.

The Spitfires throttles go from -4 to +6lbs boost over about 30% of throttle travel and engine runs with throttle closed. Also, if fixing the throttle doesn't fix the Spitfire brakes problem, can that be done too? I think these would be fairly simple to fix, probably scaling problems. They are covered in bug reports:-

Thanks

No, I can't. Programmers are working according to plan.

well good news from one POV bad news from the other.....

the spittie is so destroyed ATM that the onyl one who is worth takign for a spin is the MK1...

if the patch is comming out this weak will nto be that much of an issue... but 6 months like this again will be a massacre...

Any chance we can get a rough idea of what that plan is, when we might see the next Alpha version of the current patch?

Engine power vs throttle position is rarely linear. Wouldn't it be based on the power curve of the motor? Has anyone seen a merlin engine on a dyno?

Maybe I'll have any info on Friday.

Have you flown the Spitfire since the patch? It it goes from -4lbs to +6lbs over roughly the first 30% of throttle movement and the remaining 70% stays at +6. It makes it fiddly to set reduced boost, say +4, to avoid blowing the engine and then the slightest leaning on the throttle shoves it back to +6.

Throttle/Power curves don't come into it, its a bug to do with the way the whole throttle range is scaled.

Also the engine runs with throttle closed which it didn't before and to stop on landing you have to cut fuel to stop the engine or it runs and runs because the brakes don't work properly. Dem Blues are getting a few extra kills due to landing accidents.

Do what you can, we appreciate it.

LoL...this remembers me so to our greyhound puppies.
As soon as the mother crossed the scene, just for quick p*** in the open, 8 puppies hang on her nipples although they left had a suck 1h before, and squeezed the last mililiter.

Sorry I couldnt resist.

Just relax and wait for things to come, by the last mini fix the game is fairly playable and there will always be some who dont like issue X, awhile other prefer issue X. Post the issues to the bug tracker and let ´em do their work.

The more I cried in the supermarket for choclate when i was 5, the less I got.
Things will be fixxed early enough, patience is a virtue, but mostly worth the wait.

I also love the sim and love to see its increasement, but i am sure the devs are working their a**es off, as their jobs depend to the result.
So no need to hustle, take a beer and enjoy the summer time.
At the end the game is already playable.

We had issues like the mentioned ones also in Il2 1946 , remember the Spit 9 or the LA5FN and La7.
Everything will be good....sometime.
