You know, all we are really concerned about is that:-

1. in a 'combat bunt' the engine cuts = LW happy
2. in a 'descent' that doesn't hit an extremely low or negative G the engine doesn't cut and we'd like it to be as close to reality as possible, which seems to be somewhere between 0.3G and 0.1G depending on who you believe = Allies happy because it isn't a pain in the a$$ to fly - because it wasn't. It was a dream to fly (see many Spitfire veteran pilot's interviews).

I'm not looking for a way around the 'combat bunt' problem. That was a reality and one I actually want to have to live with. As it is now the 'combat bunt' problem is there. I just think the normal 'descent' is porked because the cutout seems too sensitive. I have done a quick and dirty in FSX and by comparison it seems to cut in the region of 0.7G.

Now, if Luthier will just tell us what parameters he is using for the Merlin III/XII cutout and if they are close to the figures given by the RAE and a current MkI Hurricane pilot I will be happy and accept that CoD's representation is how it was. Even if the cutout parameters are too sensitive and are adjusted so the cutout isn't so sensitive, the LW guys still lose nothing in the combat sense. A severe bunt will still cut the engine.
