To Developers: New engine settings for Merlin III at +12 lbs

[=GI=Joel]

Just spoke to Oleg
He said no problem. He will hold back on the release day to get this implemented for you. Oh and thanks for bring it to his attention.

i strongly belive the Maddox team is full aware of this site
http://www.fourthfightergroup.com/eagles/spittest.html

so, if not at least the Spitfire Mk.II in CoD will have the 12lb/sq.in. boost, i would be very surprised !!
And there will be 3 flyable Mk.I versions too..

Well, Kwiatek is not only talking about +12 boost. The document indicates that a Merlin III with 100 octane fuel has the same engine power (look at the mentions hp rating and compare with that of a Merlin XII here) and limitations as a Merlin XII.

However this document doesn't support this. It states that 3.000 rpm and any boost over 6 1/4 is only allowed for 5 min for a Merlin II/III. "Climbing" power is by definition allowed for 30min or 1 hour. See the contradiction?

The main difference between a Merlin III and XII is the of 70/30% water/glycol coolant which allowed the higher power and limits of the Merlin XII. Maybe this engine was operated at with that coolant?

Kwiatek can you give some more information about the document? What is about and what is on the other 39 pages?

Well 9 lb boost when climbing would make a substantial difference over 6.5 lb.

I thought it was just the mkI (de havilland 2-pitch) and the mkI (Rotol constant speed)
