ummm... So he was only shifting his supercharger rpm? could you please explain to me how he did that.

that is non standard pitch management at high altitudes as described by a LW pilot who has actually been there
He does not say or do anything "non-standard". He just explains the right way to manage the pitch on the propeller is to constantly change it.

That is why you hear the pulsing of the pitch change. You hear that at any governor check on run up of a CSP equipped aircraft.

Oh yes he does indeed. Below the fth there was no point in overreving the engine for a speed gain. At higher altitudes, there apparently was. As I said, you completely missed the point of this conversation and Steinhilper did not maintain the rpm, he was changing it constantly into higher values (hence the term 'overreving'). I am sure every reader of this thread understood that by changing the rpm up and down you're not exactly 'maintaining' it.

The interesting technical fact here is the supercharger function regarding engine rpm, because this seems not to be modelled in the game yet and as far I can tell, the engine management described by BoB pilots won't work in game. The engine works just like below FTH.

I don't see it in any of the direct quotes.

He didn't say explicitly it was non standard, but that was the main reason he described it in his book. And the main reason we quote that part in here. I am sure that even you can see that. It would be good to have this modelled in the sim, don't you think?

Well, the only quotes I can find do not say a thing about non-standard or varying rpm.

They only talk about managing pitch.

Actully that is not correct..

Steinhilper talks about varying the pitch of the prop to increase the RPM of the engine..

Hope that helps! S!

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
