F4U Takeoff problem

But to add to your real life info, the anti-freeze component is combustible so an WM injection does change the mixture ratio, even if not to the extend added fuel does...we could go on, but this is about F4U take offs in game.

Fw 190 erhöhte Notleistung does evaporate fuel in the intake manifold. The aircraft used direct fuel injection, and to my knowledge, fuel did not mix with air until it entered the cylinder. In fact, all erhöhte Notleistung did was to release pressure from a control chamber in the Kommandogerät so part of it were tricked into believing that there was less boost in the engine than there actually was. Fuel injection was stepped up to maintain mixture...again we could go on...

I not sure I follow the " ... erhöhte Notleistung does evaporate fuel in the intake manifold" to " ... direct fuel injection ... " and then back to " ... all erhöhte Notleistung did ... " ... (was to trick the Kommandogerät) into believing that there was less boost (you mean more, right?) ... " implying, maybe, that the cylinder injectors were adding the additional fuel?.

The erhöhte Notleistung system injected fuel through a single dedicated injector into the left air intake upstream of the supercharger at the rate of about 14.5 gallons per hour. Total fuel consumption could be 185 gph (full throttle can be 146 gph). I could ... well ... lol

Yeah, I get the game/reality point. I should try harder to focus on the game part. The game tries really, really hard
