What would b interesting, however, is the Gyro Gunsight Mk 2. Want realism? Install them in later Hurricanes, Spits and the P-47 (plus more allies). The Germans had a similar device in 190's and 262's I believe.

I actually know what I'm talking about, I's II's V's all suffered from negative g..they never really fixed it till 1943 with the true negative g Stromberg Carb.
'Miss Schillings Orifice' the piece you mentioned only deleayed the effect, you still got rich / lean cutouts.

Here's some proof..

A Mk V in 1941 at Castle Bromwich, flown by Alex Henshaw, suffering negative G cutouts, look for puffs of black smoke and listen to the engine. It misfires when inverted.
