What is the max IAS you can get at sea level In AUTO and at Sea Level in Manual and what RPM are you using then ? .... Then tell me how you would achieve 100Kmh more ?

How about a test start at 300Kmh at Sea level Go max ATA (without WEP) and Prop auto, Both RADS Full open... wait till all acceleration stops ...tell us your end IAS
Then repeat it in manual same Max ATA (without WEP) Both Rads full open ... Any RPM you choose.... wait till the acceleration stops ... tell us your end IAS and RPM you used.

Okay John, Snapper I will test this when I get home

In my tests as I suggested:

I get the exact same end game speed whether in AUTO or Manual. 440-450Kmh IAS.

There is NO way I can get 50Kmh better in manual.

What you obviously can do in manual is set up your own ATA/RPM combinations that might be beneficial in say a 1.25ATA climb. AUTO at 1.25ATA throttle position will give you 2100RPM where you might do better manually selecting 2300RPM. Personally I use MANUAL for any long term type situations with less than max throttle position. In Combat or any time I have full throttle AUTO.

RPM is tied to throttle position NOT ATA. Below FTH ATA is also directly proportional to throttle position.

I will do it tonight didnt get the chance last night.

P.s. I'm sure some can get ~500kmh out of a 109 buts it's quite hard.

Also who flies with rads full open!!!! I will just do it with the rad settings I always use.

430 hrs of almost exclusive 109 flying. No way to achieve 500 kph IAS permanently in level flight. Not even with emergency power. With a slight dive its possible. But as soon as you go level you can maintain the speed a small time but it WILL drop below. Maybe 470-480 is possible WITH emergency power.

Well we will see to tonight and it's more like 480 not 500 my bad

Good test, thanks. So AUTO PP doesn't handicap the top speed, as it should be.
