4.10 Support & Bug Reporting

[wildwillie]

Pershing -

I would not expect IL2 SC to work well with 4.10 as they have changed some of the console command formats, have new difficulty settings, and now SC would have to accomodate xx_Chiefs in the mission file as well as xx_Static objects. FBDj is the controller most are using these days.

Not sure whether this has been mentioned..wrt HS-129.

I'm not sure of the engine technicalities of this plane but I noticed that both engines 'stalled' under negative Gs.. OK - it must have carb engines.

Now and interesting thing is that when you roll the plane, you'd expect the one engine to stall, as it is in effect undergoing negative G in the roll - This doesn't happen.

I've never flown on twins (or more engines) - would this happen in RL ?

Depends upon how you do your roll.

All early Spitfires, includind Spitfire Vb, received engine cut-out during negative-g maneuvers, similar to Hurricane Mk. I, but they have an makeshift solution to this at 1941 -- Miss Tilly Orifice -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilly_orifice

"While not solving the problem fully, the restrictor, along with modifications to the needle valve, permitted pilots to perform quick negative g manoeuvres without loss of engine power, removing the annoying drawback the British fighters had had in comparison to the German Messerschmitt Bf 109 machine, which was equipped with fuel injection. Miss Shilling with a small team travelled around the countryside in early 1941 fitting the restrictors, giving priority to front-line units."

The HS 129B2 is recognised as a red plane when trying to make this plane as flyable in DGEN.

It would have to be a seriously violent roll. I'm not sure it's possibly to roll fast enough to sent one engine into -G.

Reduce throttle, no more stall.
