now perhaps we can all stop guessing.
Exactly. There is no need to guess. Pilots who fly float carburetor equipped aircraft have been telling your community from the beginning the effect is instantaneous.

The physics and science of a float carburetor fuel metering system supports their experience.

There is a reason why allied pilots complained about it and why German pilots equipped with direct injection fuel metered engines could bunt to escape. It speaks volumes for the realism of your game that players complain as well.

The effect is instantaneous upon the application of negative accelerations. The instrumentation used in the report backs that up very nicely within the accuracy of a mechanical dial gauge accelerometer.

The problem is when people try to interpret things they don't understand and push it as fact.

You can see that in many of the "home-made" graphs pushed around the flight sim community where the author of the graph did not understand such things as TAS, EAS, CAS, or IAS or density altitude effects.
