Problems I found regarding Italian planes...
1° - Fiat G.50 HAS NOT the overboost function - WEP (it was called "+100" and added 100 mmHg for the engine)
Engine power could be increased, for a short period of time, to 960 HP at 3.000 m. The engine should be then running at 890 mmHg pressure.
In the game, manifold pressure at max throttle is 710 mmHg... A lot less than what it could achieve.
As it is now, the plane feels so underpowered.
It certainly wasn't. Power to weight ratio was 0,35 HP-KG... way better than Hurricane I for example (0,24 HP-KG).
I certainly doesn't feel like that in the game.
Whenever you start to make a shallow climb with a G.50, it stalls.
It wasn't fast, but... it could outclimb an Hurricane 1 so...
And it can just reach 350 km/h at sea level. IRL it could master about 40 km/h more.
2° - All the instruments in the G.50 cockpit don't work or move. They don't move at all.
3° - Somehow, in a "normal" combat configuration, the G.50 is always way too heavy. There's maybe 100 kgs more than the normal configuration in the "plane settings". Only if you get 30% fuel it is in the right take-off weight. Weird...
4° - BR 20 - Bomb doors doesn't seem to work at all.
Apart from that, the game is a brilliant piece of work IMO. It has huge potential, and I really enjoy the damage model.
It runs quite smooth with my old rig too (E7500 + 2GB RAM + GTS450) at low-medium settings.
Cheers
Rick
