What happened with G50 FM ?

After final patch it has become unflyable, stuttering all the time.
Or doing something wrong?

Check mixture and decresase it the higher you fly... last Saturday easyly climb at 5000m, 340 IAS... lot of fun against Wellies !

I already tried this, flying low with full and zero mixture, still stuttering.

As funny as it sounds you may be running the engine too cold, try closing the radiators some and see if that helps at all. Also make sure to adjust prop pitch, it's very finicky.

I did this as well, strange thing is that the temperature of the engine remains 0 degrees.

IIRC you have to press a button/turn a dial near the engine sensor on the dash to get the reading.

The G.50 and BR.20 are very finicky. If they're too cold they lose power and shake. They need to be ran hotter than you think.
