Suddenly Spit IIa on all the servers?

[TomcatViP]

Let's say that you are cruising at alt >5km and want to add some power.

Since your are cruising your eng regime is low with low rpm <2000 and ata <1 (probably 0, .

When you push the throttle, you'll see that your eng won't react as much as you want with the boost raising only a little as the eng torque is not strong enough to balance the torque of the prop with the amount of air it can ingest at the moment.

In that situation lowering the prop pitch will lower the torque needed to spin the prop giving the eng more torque to raise the (eng) rpm. Once the eng rpm start raising, the compressor can spin up the compressor wheel that will deliver more air in the cylinder.

More air, more fuel, more torque, more power -> the speed increase up to a point that you have a new balance. Obviously once the "ata" & the speed raise you need to coarse back slightly the prop pitch monitoring closely those 3 values (the position of the throttle, the boost level and the rpm gauges).

Note that there is no spectacular results to expect from this but still you'll get some better result and will raise your op ceiling in the beast
