i need some complex engine management tips (spitfire and hurricane)

[AKA_Tenn]

it kinda makes sense... if you go back and play the original IL2, compare it to IL2FB, then compare AEP to 1946 and you'll see they changed the FMs many times, and usually after expansions... this time is no different...

Does "100%" not means that the prop is on full fine pitch (long time I didn't play the game)? If so, pitch HAVE to be on fine pitch at start-up.

Rads have to be closed and eng run at a stable regime (low) until the temp as raised (rad closed). It take usually 3 to 5 min to do so. Then you can apply power gradually to move the plane (no chocks).

If you don't warm up your engine, you will suffer engine damage applying power too early and won't be able to get full perf out of your engine during flight.

I hve witnessed a lot a players chocking their engine on the ground in order to get-off early. Those generally also complains that they can't get the perfs as in the manual

For the worst on many occasion !!!

Current Hurricane I 12lb* in 1946 with HSFX makes barely 250mph @SL. Can't get it faster than that. This is worse than COD after years and years of development. Why is it like this? Who did the FM?

[Kwiatek]

IRL Hurricane MK1 at 12lbs emergency boost reached ab. 280-285 mph at sea level. At nominal power - +6 1/4 lbs reached 260 mph at the deck. CLOD FM is also far away from these.

Yes that's correct, although the test speeds show 291mph IIRC, not sure of the loadout for that though.

I don't understand how people supposedly interested in flight history can get this so wrong.

I can not say that I am surprised by this..

Over the past 10 years of flight simming I have noticed this tread of not caring about how accurate the flight model is in simulating the aircraft performance..

Which is not surprising what with all the arcade style (xbox) types of flights simmers that have come along in the past 10 years..

Where they are more concerned with eye-candy than the flight models ability to accurately simulate the aircraft performance..

The good news is..

With time..

Some of these xbox type evolve (grow up?) into what we use to call a 'hard core flight simmer'.

Where getting the performance right is not an option but a 'basic' requirement.

The evolution of the xbox mind set typically goes like this..

They start off not caring at all about the accuracy of the flight model to simulate the aircraft performance, to caring about the 'relative' performance of the aircraft, to finally caring about the flight model being able to simulate the aircraft performance within 5% of the real world data.

Sadly some never make the full transition and are happy enough with something less than accurate..

Which is why flight sim makers always have to provide enough options to convert the accurate flight simulation into an xbox arcade type of game.

But the trouble is that this is a '*' new slot aircraft. Therefore it should've been done by somebody properly, a fan. I'm left wondering if it is the mod pack which make their own changes to the new slot type because they aren't happy with it. 40mph is a lot, it's not hard to find out speed tests.

Can somebody verify the performance in UP? or another pack? Wrong forum really, just frustrating.
