Thanks for the graph, Peril; I've been away for a few days and I've yet to catch up reading this thread, but I'll use that as a starting point.
Maybe the FM changes you mentioned fixed things a bit, too

Please check it again, I did have a bottle of Red but it seemed lots better.

Haven't noticed any difference.

yeah, after a quick check with the new beta patch, it seems that the torque effect seems to have been toned down somewhat. Going full throttle, torque is feasibly counter-able by rudder trim.

Got more engine misfires, though and "high"-alt flying seems to be even more broken than before

Red roach, I don't use CEM, it's defiantly 'broken' IMHO too.

Try testing with CEM off because I think this gives the 'intended' best performance of the current engine. Doesn't make it correct but at least you can fly the damn thing to what feels like it's potential. This is of course just a gut feeling I have as being best potential but you can get it to perform smooth with CEM off. I got the Hurricane to 30000ft OK with no buffets at all, just ran out of climb rate.

The 110 now flies smooth until 490 IAS, I think that is better as well, but after here it gets a bit, uummm right words fail me, overly cautious with the onset speed of destabilisation FX?

I don't catch you there.

Just went in my first series of flight in Hurris and didn't hve any prob with torque, rpm and what ever.

The Hurri (Rotol prop) is one of the easiest plane to accelerate, climb and fight (nearly didn't touch the throttle during close knife dogfight with 6Cr42 that went back to base missing two of them).

Oh yes there is torques but ... wait ... I 've got a pair feet too !

To quote one of the great flyer here and around, Better learn to fly guys, after years of IL2 ninja's plane it's time !

PS: IMHO dear devs, with the hurri regarding the Rudder effectiveness : too much induced rolls with too weak sliding effect. When I add aileron to keep her level that's were she start to slide (due to 'ron drag ?).
