The boost gauge is your friend. There will be no more slamming the throttle to the firewall and flying 'till you run out of fuel. CEM is certainly a different world now.

Absolutely and if memory serves the maximum amount of time allowed with the boost plug pulled was 5 minutes with Rolls Royce engines. During the Battle of Britain, the pilot also had to record if he pulled the plug in his combat report.

Yup, then the Spit was taken out of service for an overhaul and the pilot had to justify it. I'm really looking forward to this engine control, no more instant moves and blasting the wep

We already use HUD off in our campaigns so we're used to RPM and boost control but it's not really modelled in '46
