If you run without CEM, the Spitfire MkI +a both go to second pitch for climbing, so logically this should be a almost fine pitch setting, but instead of doing the logically, the developers put second pitch to the max extended rotol setting. Is there any documentation for this? Really?
I asume there has to be documentation for this, since this should be a relative easy to fix, so can Luthier or some official confirm this is documented and really how it was?
The coarse setting does work online, but not as expected....

You need to be over approx 8000 - 10000 ft and then put it into coarse setting. If you are any lower, then it does the juddering thing. When you are at about 15000 ft +, the engine runs nicely at 2600 rpm.

It's still well off the mark though.

At 17000 ft with coarse pitch set in level flight, the plane flys at 240 mph IAS. (315 mph TAS). Way too slow and not worth bothering with yet.

Obv, at lower altitudes, you are stuck in fine pitch. The best I could get out of the Spit Ia in level flight @6000 ft was 200 mph IAS (225 mph TAS).

I might just stick to Luftwaffe planes online as the Spit is not worth flying at this point IMO.

Oh and the boost is broken on all the Spits online (doesn't activate - boost stays at +6)
