I just tried this and was getting some really odd things happening.

Climbing at 7lb boost, 2,850rpm, IAS ~155, rad half open.

Temp gauges all within limits when at 17,000ft my rpm started fluctuating wildly, causing cockpit shake. I was unable to control my rpm.

oil = 85, water = 100.

Changing fuel mixture did not help.

I don't know what was going on.

Only way i could stop the shaking was sub 2,100 rpm & sub 4 lb boost.. managed to get to 19,000ft but could not maintain a climb..

Quite true Snapper, I was posting Ia figs in my excitement.

Which is now more pronounced after an initial offline dogfight in the Ia 100oct.

Looking good. Looking very good. So far.

Thanks for the Mirror, Tommy.

First Impression:

+Very good Light-Changes. Some life is back. Didn´t test sunrises/sets
+Cloud Shadows look nice (but somehow my plane gets overshadowed above clouds, can that be?)

-Less FPS, especially over industrial areas like Dunkirk

This bug was present since day one.
I won't be able to test it for a few days. I managed to make a nice crispy Asus/Intel barbeque.

I got the Mobo. Waiting on CPU.

Damage decals?

.
Because of the big problem with the SLI I have a big (very big) loss of fps and stuter is back every minute or so in a combat situation, this patch is a step backward.
Plus the problems with the idle throttle of the Spitfire MKIa, MKIa 100oct, MKIIa and with starting the cold engines of the Hurricanes and Spifire MKI, MKIIa. Now I shall try some long flights to see the temperature menagement...
Clouds are still only visible at short distances.
Small calibre damages are not visible.
Damages flying pieces are strangely square and regular.
I do not pilot the German planes but I hope all is OK with them.

There are 80 pilots on ATAG right now...heres hoping the net code was worked on, and has helped

+1

Very similar initial results for 2a at 9 lbs/2850 rpms/50% rad -- opened to 100% as oil reached 97/glycol 120, speed 185 mph IAS. Reached 19,600 with fluctuating rpms & boost -- could not climb above 20K: aborted climb. Engine undamaged - flew normally at lower alt.

Sea level run: 270 IAS 9 lbs/3000/35% rad
280 IAS 11 lbs/3000/35% rad

Doing a quick test of 1a 100 pctane
