Boost cut out is a little lever that prevents the throttle from going all the way forward (in the "red")
If you disable cutoff,you will be able to move throttle a little bit extra.
But if you already have your throttle at 100% you won´t be able to push it further so you have to move it back a bit to "reset". and then you can get that extra 10% (or whatever). You will hear sound effects warning you that its not a good idea to leave it for long 
But the cutoff itself does nothing to your power. Look closely at the throttle and you will figure it out. |
Good post. "Boost cutout" is a bit of an obtuse label. It should've been "Throttle Gate" which could be toggled open or closed. At least with this beta we can now close the gate after going full boost if we want to. I believe in the real Spits there was a bit of wire that would be cut if full boost was used to clue in the ground crew that further engine checks were in order.
