Any thoughts on new neg G cutout post beta patch?

[IvanK]

You dont call Minimum RPM a cut out ??? ... how much power and thrust do you think the prop/engine RPM combination is putting out with the RPM full scale anticlockwise ? You went from 3000RPM to something less than perhaps 1000RPM in a heartbeat !

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.

at what G is this happening at though?

I havent as yet tried any of the RAF a/c but have been following the arguments, Viper2000 posted this in the other thread, has anyone had a chance to compare in game (25 sec's in)?

Feel like your banging your head up against a wall Ivan?

People if you don't think that it is effecting your performance go to wonder woman view roll upside down an keep at -1G and watch what happens to your airspeed.

It could perhaps do with a little bit more of a cough but it is definitely better than before.

Thanks there Viper, but that didn't quite get to the Ivank's pilot's quotes.

I had noticed earlier though in that thread, the references to the "general pilot's notes1943".






remember, this is late 1940 era, not '41/ '42/ or '43
