Bug-Thread for RC1&2 British Engine Hotfix + SLI/Crossfire test & RC2 release

I don't think it's a bug when the engine cuts out with the throttle lever all the way at idle. You need at least half an inch throttle to keep the engine running at a healthy rev with these engines. For not idling too much, there's even the amber warning button (next to the throttle lever) that will have the alarm sound should you throttle back all the way without having flaps and gear down.

The engine won't cut out with the throttle all the way at idle during landing when you're too fast/high but it doesn't like it. Idling too much als causes spark plugs to foul. Shoud this be implemented here (as it occurs in a real world WWII aircraft) then, you will notice that when that happens, you will not have full power until the plugs are clean again (which can be attained by putting high rev on the engine until it purrs nicely again).

The alarm horn is to warn the pilot from a landing attempt without gear down. The following paragraphs are from the Merlin II and III engine manual (A.P. 1590 B, Vol. I). In short: The engine does not stop when throttle is brought to the idle position, in fact a "Slow Running Cut-Out" device was introduced to allow stopping the engine without the need to switch off the fuel (because this method is a bit complicated).

Honestly I don't care about that as long as the AI is able to keep the engine running on the ground ... which is not the case at the moment.

I dont think this patch was to add SLI performance boost, just to stop crashes related to having SLI enabled...

The problem does not come from the Hurri model. It turns well and realistically

It's more the Energy free Spit turns that makes you feel like the hurri is sluglish. The 109 is also over optimistic in the turn.

IMOHO a patch shld temper this and not modify the hurri.

C'mon guys the SPit we hve here outurn a G50!

After trying most of the things I could think of, plus others that have been suggested I've abandoned the latest patch and hot fix. It is a major step back in performance for me so I've re-installed beta 18956.

Result: - Better fps, less load on cards, lower temp on cards and most of all far less stutters.
Also I don't have the double reticle at load any more.

Will leave any other patches and hot fixes etc until Nvidia does their thing with Sli driver profile, then will try again.

Team Speak overlay was preventing game launch not just for me but with other players too.Launching Ts with the game running also caused GUI problems and had to leave ,disable the overlay ,then all was ok again.

Did you install the new correction extra patch?!

As said, thank you for the info. Didn't know that source yet. I will have to check that. Makes perfect sense.

Cheers,
Zach

The Spitfire MKIa 100octane has a big problem when it reach 20.000 fts I tried every engine control setting but nothing change it. 19.900 all OK 20.000 all bad and strange the Spitfire MKI does not have this problem at all. Now I am going to try the Spitfire MKII.
