Spitfire prop pitch and radiator question

[HundertneunGustav]

in the cockpit, use the control to switch autoproppitch off first.

and were would that setting be?

I can not find that.

You need to assign it in 'Controls'.

The setting is 'Prop Pitch Auto', it's an on/off toggle.
It's above the settings for Increase Prop Pitch and Decrease Prop Pitch.

In the settings.ini it's called 'StepAuto'

Stock 4.11.1
thank you found it, so thats were its been hiding all this time.

I tried it and the Spit F IXc still only does 470 KPH-290 MPH IAS @3000 I can not get the true wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire http://www.spitfireperformance.com/spitfire-IX.html
IAS data speed of 380 MPH IAS. So the allied fighters are still porked. Should be at Sea level 336 MPH to 329 MPH.
So if your going to give the Blue side FW 190's and BF 109s there IAS where's the Red Allied stuff?

I'll run some more test with the equivalent BF109s and FW190s today.

BF109 G-2 1942; 470KPH-290 MPH @3000 radiator open or closed no difference
FW190 A-4 1942; 460-470 280 radiator open-290 MPH closed radiator @3000
FW190 A-4 1.42 1942; 470-90 KPH, 290 radiator open-300 MPH Closed Radiator @3000

Mastiff, for performance evaluation you need to look at TAS, from the yellow gauge. All the data you find is typically TAS, and if it is IAS it has so many errors to it that you cannot compare it to what you see in game.
Also, the Spitfires were tested radiators closed, which is something you can't do in game because it is an automated radiator. You'd need to fly on a very cold map, but then the performance would be wrong because of the coldness.

Generally, you can expect that planes with a recently reworked flight model have as accurate performance as possible in the game engine. It's more a matter of knowing which data was used for reference, there usually is a wide range available, and therefore the flight model can't match all of it.

ah ok thanks for the information.
