Sound breaks up on Blenheim when increasing throttle from idle to low rpm

I've had sound issues like these since a couple patches ago and i can confirm it happens. I mostly get it on twins (eg, Blenheim, Ju88), there is no sound until i increase RPMs a little bit more.

About the throttle though, i don't see anything bugged. I just flew the stock cross country mission to test it.

The throttle moves correctly all across the range.

The mixture and prop pitch are the ones that have only two positions but that is historically correct. The Blenheim had two-position props (like the Spit 1 and the DH Hurricane we have in the sim), so it only has fine and coarse settings. It also had only two effective mixture settings, auto-rich and auto-lean, even though the lever moved all across the range the lower 50% was auto-rich and the upper 50% of the lever's travel was auto-lean.

To sum up, it was wrong before the patch, it is corrected now. Cheers ;)

An interesting thing happens while flying through medium cloud cover in the BF-109 E3. Flying straight and level, same throttle position, same engine sound tone, speed indicator drops to zero.

Inaccurate and faulty instrument readings like these were there in previous versions too. It's not a bug, it simulates icing of the pitot tube.

Turn on your pitot heater and you'll see it indicating correctly again ;)

Nice effect of the pitot tube freezing over perhaps?

I very much doubt its a bug.

Good feature, I like it...seems to clog a bit quickly though, I don't really remember the previous vershion as drastic

Correct, though why your cockpit glass would ice up at 500m in British summer is something for another thread.

Here's that bug with the reticle. Still not fixed:

Anyone notice FPS drops when there is communication during single player? And maybe its me, but it seems worse when reporting enemy positions?

Also before patch I used to CTD sometimes when loading a track, now, so far, I have yet to have that happen, good thing! :)

Same here. I have the same video card as you as well, that could be why. As far as I remember it was stated that it was an ATI problem, but I'd hoped they'd address it in this patch. Perhaps not, unless it's going to make its way into a later version.

If this was really a problem with ATI, then this bug would show up in AC-10, Black Shark, Flaming Cliffs 2 or even Call of Duty.
But in these games, and in any other games there are no problems, so I think it's NOT ATI's fault.
Fix it. I didn't hand out money to watch such a zebra-striped ***... :rolleyes:

Nice one mate, thanks for the info, and you made me spot i put throttle instead of mixture, but since its a correction hey ho! Still labeled the wrong way round though, least i got something right lol :-P

Hmmmm so far couldnt host any games! Because of steam issues i thought! Now i can host!!

But no servers are showing in my list! Installed fix and deleted cache! Help!
