Any thoughts on new neg G cutout post beta patch?

I also did a full neg G induced red out and noticed zero change in performence other than the RPM and boost gauge dropping.

I also notice that if I pushed the stick full forward and to the right it would cut out fast but a quick pull back than full forward and right again the engine would recover and continue on its merry way doing negative G's.

look at the 1 minute mark, odd to me at least.

Even judging by pilot accounts, they mention mis-fire which I presume is the sputter/cough and black smoke. That doesn't happen (or at least didn't to me whilst I was testing it) however you fly, the engine didn't cough black-smoke once.

"zero change in performence other than the RPM and boost gauge dropping."

RPM dropping to full minimum and Boost dropping to zero and even less IS an immense loss of performance !
The Engine has gone from producing full Combat Output to next to nothing. Boost and RPM is a measure of engine performance. .... thats a Cut to me.

Here is my attempt negative G throughout until the recovery.

"First, I can tell you that it does not require negative g to make the engine suffer from a shortage of fuel supply; a significant reduction of g down to, say, 0.3g can be enough to make the engine misfire. This can be experienced towards the top of a wing-over but I would estimate that the reduction in g needs to be maintained for 2 seconds or more before there are any effects. Undoubtedly, if the reduction in g was greater (to less than zero g) and particularly if the bunt was abrupt then the effect could be instantaneous. I have never, though, experienced any misfiring in turbulence; albeit, were the turbulence severe enough to produce g spikes to less than zero g, I would not rule out the possibility of the odd cough from the engine. Of interest to you I am sure is that on recovery from an episode of fuel starvation the engine recovers through a short period of over-richness shown by, I would estimate, up to a second of black, sooty exhaust before normal combustion is resumed."

This quote could indicate that previous values were right but engine misfire shouldn't occur instantly like it used to. It should take 2 secs of G reduction (~0,3G) for effect to occur while instant cut out should occur when higher negative G is reached.

Here's the opening sequence from "The Battle of Britain"

The Hurricane does a barrel roll and you can hear the cough and see the smoke.

It seems pretty quick to me.
