COMP - if MP is for Manifold Pressure, what does CO stand for?
I hardly believe that pilots could manipulate Manifold vacuum (or engine vacuum) other by different throttle settings. |
Well, Manifold Pressure (MP) should depend on throttle and mixture. As you rise in altitude, you have to play with the mixture to get the best MP...unless the aircraft is set up to handle mixture automatically somehow. (I know you know this so we are probably just in the middle of a language thing here)
It would be tremendous if Oleg modeled the characteristics of different engines for MP though. There are ramifications for running lean or rich at a given altitude.
Just think of trying to follow your opponent in a dogfight, changing altitudes, and having to also get your mixture right for maximum MP as you go through a 10,000 dive or climb.
