Doing a quick calculation (to be refined) I have a 0.017G as the min value for the cutout to begin in a non-modified eng with an assumed similar geometry (you need then to add the time that the 2nd carb chamber emptied it self of its remaining fuel - Vip as done that before - negligeable).
So am fully converting myself to Crumpp idea now. As a culprit of false assumption I condemn myself to run around my neighborhood both arms raised like wings and making loudly sputtering "WAAAA waaaaaaaa WWWAAAAAAA" engine noise.

I don't think the devs have re-worked the G cutout in his patch, it 'feels' the same to me but if it has been reworked then that's that.
Not sure I follow what you mean regarding the 0.2G design threshold and the 0.017G cutout on unmodified engines but if the cutout on early engines was 0.1G it would make sense to have a design threshold (valve operation to prevent cutout) at a higher level so that it is already active before the 0.1G level is reached.
