4.13 development update discussion and feedback

Shows you why I'm only a modeler lol. I don't think turbine supercharging was ever actually modeled (e.g., no axis for variable adjustment). I don't fly much, but I have the impression that Auto-Rich and Auto-Lean were never really done either. The advantages are high altitude and long range, neither of which is very appealing to the average player. On the other hand, Auto-Lean could really stretch a light fuel load, letting you carry more bombs--provided you know enough to avoid cooking the engines.

I need to get back to my paper airplanes. Lord knows I'm out of my depth here

Most of us probably are I know of maybe a handful on the forums here and elsewhere that truly understand all of the mechanical bits and pieces and how they affect performance. The rest of us have a passing understanding at best.

Laying out some B-24 missions and it's great to hear that development is getting there.

Can't wait to put that early Liberator on my Aleutians scenario.

Me too. I've been under the hood for so long that all I want to do is watch someone else do something with it for a change.
