It's a FIAT engine!

Italian Pilots said of the A.80 that it had Mule-Power instead of Horse-Power.
The A.80 had 1000hp at 2100rpm at 4.100m whereas the A.74 only had 840hp at 2400rpm at 3800m.
Maybe luthiers team wanted to reproduce this "mule-power".

Hi Kodoss,

I didn't know abt the mules but they must be fairly small or be of the type that you register only to get some Eu subventions

Frankly in game the G50 seems not to have much than 240/340. That's why I think it's more a Vespa74

PS : Just forgot to say that it's surprising that powering up on the ground the Fiat acceleration is fairly good. It's once the wheel are off the ground that you get the sluggish effect (is that 840@FWP )

Shameless bump...

About the power. The G.50 is currently lacking the "WEP" emergency power , called the "+100" (it was +100 mmHg).
Power could reach a max of 960 Hp in emergency mode. Not too bad.
Manifold pressure could go up to a max. of 890mmHg.
In the game, you can't reach this pressure at all, in whatever conditions.

There is no "WEP" switch. If you can see on the left part of the instrument panel, there was a level with "+100" inscribed on it, which is missing in the model.

I wrote the problem on the first page of this thread.
I hope they'll try to correct this problem.
It really looks like the plane is missing about 200hp.

Cheers
Rick

From the Q&A of 23rd of December:

8. Will the performances of the poor G.50 be upgraded to be closer to the real historical values? The G.50 maximum speed today is ~350 kmh at sea level against 407 kmh found in books and online references. The G.50 ceiling in game is some 5000 m, against 10500 m found in various sources.

Great, thank you Addman.
I lurk around here often, but not often enough to see all the threads and posts.
That's great news! I hope we'll have all our models revised and corrected asap.

Where the heck is the fuel gauge in the g50? I ran out of gas tonight in the middle of a dogfight...not good.

Any advice for takeoff in the sim? My engine kept stalling on me as I tried to throttle up while warming up. Not warm enough yet?

And the plane kept sputtering and shaking while taking off. Plus it takes forever to get going on the ground.

Once I got airborne it was fun to fly though.

I wonder if the G.50 did have a boost control that prevents over-boosting below FTH.

Edit: As there was a +100 button to obtain higher boost it obviously did have a boost control.

Thanks Franky I found it.

Any tips on warming up to 200? That has to take forever the current way I do it. Rads closed and give it some throttle does that work best? You also have to adjust the cylinder head knob to get a proper reading right? Some guys on ATAG told me that last night and it helped setting it on "3".
