Patch 4.11 is a gift to open pit UFO fliers

Ok just conducted some tests, it IS due to the new proppitch.

If you dive with the ta152 at full throttle and auto-pp you will overrev the engine in no time, it only takes seconds.
It like i said below, high power=lowpitch, independent from what speed you're flying.
Manual pp during dives, on the other hand, keeps you out of troubles.


Not sure if this is correct?

With auto-prop-pitch planes, simply reduce the throttle in a dive. This lowers p-pitch and manifold pressure together. You really shouldn't have MP settings exceeding PP settings anyway.

@ Jermin - I can record a track later today.

I'm not complaining, like I said before I usually fly manual PP, sometimes even the 109. And no, I dont burn my engines, neither in 4.11 nor before.

The question is: Is it a bug or a feature?
