Merlin negative G cutout too quick?

You didn't watch the video. It's not a roll, it's an inverted flypast. I don't see the prop windmill but regardless if I did this move in game it would most certainly cut out completely.

It is definately NOT a float carburetor then.

Its more a case of listening to the engine. It cuts to occasional firing.

ROFL that dog sure was at zero G's lol

Pls guys makes sure you are watching the video with sound tuned to max. There is no doubt that the engine is starving even if the pilot (excellent - hvn't read this until now) did throttle down.

A good surprise also is how the pilot over-quick the rudder when half rolling back to a normal attitude to add some positive G in the roll. I do that on CoD and it works perfectly. A real positive sign of how good this sim is !

I did watch the video. It is a cut scene from a movie that has nothing to do with reality.


I just checked the Mk I Operating Notes. Flying inverted is normal provided the engine is set up not to foul the aircraft with glycol and oil. It is done at high speed with the throttle closed and the pilot is instructed not to reopen the throttle until oil pressure is restored.

Why? As far as I know, the aircraft were original, and there was no CG in 1969...

So what?

Many original aircraft have been used in movies. These are real aircraft AND plenty of cut scenes with no CG either....

Crumpp, are you dure you're talking about the same movie? We've been discussing the film of Alex Henshaw flying an early MkVa:

It's Alex Henshaw, one of the chief Spitfire test pilots, flying a MkV in early 1941, at the Spitfire factory in Castle Bromwich. It's real.
It was filmed for the Americans to show how 'well' the British were getting on with the war. That's why the American guy is in it.

The flying is real, the Mk V has the 'orifice' fitted. If you listen carefully you'll notice that the engine does over-rev when the power comes back on.
