I hope it's okay if I post a couple of questions here. (4.12.2)

1) Firstly, what's the deal with the supercharger? When flying the F4U I can see a noticable amount of manifold pressure gained if I toggle to speed 2 immediately at ground level. If more MP = more engine power, are there any side effects in switching to speed 2 right from the start and not at recommended 2000m?


Thanks in advance.
This might help.





Ok for the "aviation engine experts" amongst us please don't watch this film.

For everyone else who is willing to learn something about Super/turbo chargers in WW2 1940 have fun
