Merlin negative G cutout too quick?

Nothing speaks louder more than documentational fact as opposed to opinion.

yes and no... it depends on the nature of the documented fact and the opinion..

Beta patch seems to improve the cutouts. 0G<Instant G<1G = no cut out, instant G<0= cut out, as far as i can say without ingame gmeter.

Oh absolutely it does, but having documentational evidence puts the ball squarely into the other court and says "there you go fella, let's see what you can do with that."

I think the RAF\Supermarine ran negative G tests sometime pre-war at Martlesham Heath or Boscombe down. I truly believe the answers lay there in those records.

I still believe that better than papers and talk it's the real deal that solves any doubt. Even papers, made by men, could have been "retouched" in favour of this or that person/situation etc.. (think of aerial victories reports..),whilst first hand experience does hardly lie at all..

Having said this, it'd be interesting to read these records.

Oh Gawd,

this is getting more surreal by the minute.

Common sense guys, do you really believe the MoD/RAF would have put it's most cutting edge fighter into service with an engine that persistently misfires in level flight with its normal turbulence and undulations.

Push-overs, yes, that's well reported on by the people that flew them but problems in normal flight? None that I have ever read and lets be honest no-one here has ever pushed one of those Merlins into negative G, you all only have your various written references to go by and so far I don't think anyone has found a report of the time or operation of those engines that says normal flight is a problem. Lets stay away from conjecture, guesswork and revisionism.

So, feet back on the ground (no pun), the model is too sensitive in normal flight, I leave it to the devs to determine where negative G effects should have an effect but atm its just plain daft.

Is the issue about believe or about knowledge?

Its about an absence of knowledge and the application of common sense.

I hope this is not going to be a sim of common sense.
Common sense is very often far off reality or truth.

Anyhow we have people like Sternjaeger and basically it should not be too hard for the developer to pick up the phone and call Tangmere and ask questions.
