help flying the corsair

[R0NNC0]

Change supercharger on the Corsair at 6000ft and 18,000ft when you're running wide open; switch a little higher on lower power. If you shift too early, you'll rob power from the engine-check the RPM gauge when you shift prematurely and you'll see the RPMs drag a little bit. Hellcat is the same way.

As for propeller pitch first thing you have to get your head a round is that you have no direct control over the propeller pitch in the game and once you get over this then you will under stand on how it works and it so simple that it a governor. and what you have to remember that when an engine with 1000 hp it don't take much to over rev and also the amount of work load that it would take to keep the engine at it best RPM the pilot would have no time to dog fight so they made them CSP so the pilot don't have to watch the engine with out fear of over rev and damaging the engine.
the next time you fly a bf 109 watch the Prop Pitch Indicator (the gauge right of the RPM gauge) it will move up and down to try and keep the engine in the best rpm range.the only difference between germany aircraft to the rest aircraft is that you can't control the RPM setting.

Thanks for the link to the manual, steppie! I *think* you can alter RPM in German aircraft if you use Shift+0 - on at least some of the aircraft with automatic prop pitch that combination toggles between automatic and manual control.
