Patch road map ?

[FS~Phat]

Boost and maybe mixture settings may be the culprit.
I havent flown the Hurri in the latest patch but the spit requires careful attention to RPM, Boost, Mixture and Prop Pitch to manage RPM/Boost, or it will fail after about 10mins of abuse.

In particular I now have to manage mixture which I havent had to do before the patch. The Hurri maybe different but just something to consider.

Yes, to be considered.
If it's modelled right, mixtures pulled back is rich, then it shall be ok. And when pushing away, the engine's rough under many conditions.

I've also learned that it should'nt be the case since they are normally auto rich and auto lean so lean shall work better in theory.

In the patch notes it was said that the boost gauges aren't displaying the correct values.
Maybe you overboosted without realizing it.

Yes but apparently ok on Hurricane, anyway the boost is part of a factory setting and I don't think one can over boost unles using the boost cutout.

Up to 6 1/4 (6,25) it's the rated (the gate). Should be allowed continuously except that it may impact on the engine's lifetime, thought I don't think it should fail during the flight really.
That is at < 2850 rpm.

Nevertheless I usually fly at lower rpm. Surely enough speed and rad fully opened + temeprature checks should be done, but when I failed the engine, I do not recall it was too warm.

Where does it say its scaled correctly in the Hurricane, I thought it was all red fighters?

Please note that the general performance of the British aircraft is much closer to desired envelope, but the information shown on the Boost gauge is scaled incorrectly at the moment. - B6

If you fly the 109 at full throttle for a long time, (over 1.3 Ata), you can ruin the engine even though all the tempretures are normal.

Yes it was said so, but the Spitfire gets far over the max, hurri seems to work fine.

No way to be informed on my first question ? Wait, wait until it's finished ... ?

Strange, that never happened to me, even with constant WEP if revs are in the safe range.
Is that in the new beta?
