I think he's refering to boost cut-out which allows for higher rpm.
Clickable red plate at top of throttle.

I don't know where you 'd got those curves but it remind me some plastic surgery. :cool:

Hve a close look at the poor Hurri that reach it's terminal velocity at level flight .. :grin:

All these data are from real life data original documents.

As you see chart is original from flight test for SPit MK1 ( 100 octan) then i put there speed chart for Hurricane MK1 +12 lbs also from real life test ( spitfireperformacne site) and data for 109 E-3 is from original German manual ( best score i have seen for 109 E at 1.45 Ata ( 1 minute emergency power) - 0 -500 km/h, 570 km/h at 5 km).


All is here in these topic - it is enough to read it carefully

Yup, that's also a good practice to follow.

Flew a Bf109 on the REPKA Server after a long time...

It appeared somewhat strange to me (compared to the Spitfire Ia I usualy fly), when the water cooler was damaged engine vibrations started.

Engine vibrations were shaking the plane so violently that I could no longer aim and shoot properly.

I do not recall having experience to such extend the same in the Spitfire.

Has anybody noticed similar behaviour between the two planes?

~S~

You don't get vibrations from damaging the water cooler mate or at least I've never had it... youve obviously overcooked the engine which does cause vibrations just like in a Spit

Thanks Ze-Jamz,

It was the first time after weeks flying a Bf109 so I probably you are right.

Maybe the Spitfire (I fly mostly the Ia) has the same kind of violent vibrations as well, I do not know, maybe I have not "cooked" a Spit engine until now, you can not do it by overheating the water system (probably it is a bug; I posted it).
The best case I had was "overcooking" a Spit engine by flying too long at max throttle, oil temp exceeded the limit and got a "grosvenor failure" message but even then there were no serious vibrations either...

Of course ;) it can be due to my superior knowledge and flying skill supremacy when in a Spit or, the abesimal skills and native inferiority of the Bf109 noobs who are trying to cause damage to my superior machine ;) ;) that I never experienced the same kind of vibrations when flying Spitfires.... (just joking :D )

Anyway, I just mentioned it here, it was the first thing that I noticed taking a Bf109 (besides this horrible gunsight aiming disturbance).

~S~

PS. Thank God they fixed the propeller change speed, the Bf109 can do some serious B&Z now :)

Really ? When ?

after beta:grin:

With the beta patch, the prop changes much faster than before :)
