I have been using the auto prop since it arrived but until it's fixed I'm back to using manual there is something wrong with it if I can go 50kmh faster without even trying... If I did try I would be around 100kmh faster than someone using the auto prop wtf!!!

@madfish clearly this game is too hard for you so go buy hawx2 that seems like the perfect game for you.

Thx Krupi, it was exactly my point, I just reacted to someone who said that we shouldn't blame the game, but "ourselves" ... LOL!
It's like saying that in 1940 the auto prop pitch was adopted by the silly German engineers to slow down the 109 and match the Hurri performances ...

one of the main reasons it was adopted was to ease pilot workload.

i'm sure that somewhere i read an account of a 109 pilot saying that the auto pitch wasn't as good as manual in terms of absolute performance with a good pilot used to manual, i just can't remember where i read it, poss 'Spitfire on my tail'

but how much worse, who knows.

Fruitbat, my friend! I'm very interested in this kind of accounts. The only drawback is that they are subjective and qualitative. But that's the nature of WWII aviation discussions, and maybe the reason why we love them so much!

The main point however is that the FMs are flawed (ceiling, top speed, no Vne and G stress, no G stall ... God knows what else), pretty much in accordance with the unfinished nature of the game.

Btw, Luthier said 6 months ago that he was dreaming the day we will stop complaining about graphics and bugs, and start complaining about FM and DM ... maybe we aren't there yet, but almost ...
