Function of the Automatic Boost Control
My understanding was that the original reason for the throttle being design with an automatic boost control was to reduce the workload on the pilot and prevent over-boosting the engine.

It allowed them to set the desired boost pressure with the throttle lever and the ABC would ensure that that desired pressure setting was maintained up to the rated altitude.

Without it the pilot would constantly have to keep adjusting the throttle to maintain the same boost as the plane changed altitude.

Using the boost cutout disables this function.

@TomcatViP - It is possible, but it is more likely that pressure to release the product meant that development was scaled back.

There is clear evidence of this, due to having two variants of spitfire MK 1A that differ only by propellor. (DH-2S and Rotol-CS)

No problem with this it happens all the time, features are dropped to get a release to the market place.

However if you take these pressures out of the equation, a more realistic flight model is still a desirable attribute and is infact a major selling point.

Red vs Blue arguments don't really come into it.

Multiplayer is an important aspect of the game, but with out greater realism we might as well be playing Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
