FW190 FM Change

So there is some incorrect infomation in our airplane books? I have encyclopedia of WWII planes stating 190A4 had mw50 boost?
Also states that LA5 1942 engine had a carbareta instead of direct fuel injection, dunno if it suffered from -ve g cut out though.

The FW190A-4 was, to the best of my understanding, the first model of FW190 equipped that would be able to take advantage of MW50 boost. But that feature was never used operationally until much later and certainly not in the earlier A-4/5/6.

Thanks for clearing that up, there is alot of info & its difficult to find out real world performance.

I second that

Sorry, A5 / A6 had "boost" - improving at any height IMHO.
