How does your ping compare on those 2 servers?

124 on ATAG around 65 on Kampverband but......just had a CTD on Kampver within 10 minutes but flew for am hour or so earlier with no probs. Ah well, keep plugging away.....in SP (at least that works!)

Could be to do with the amount of players on each as well, how did that compare? I've never had them, one of the lucky few I guess, and on two very different machines as well. Doesn't make sense.
No bugs to report that haven't been reported by many others already, but the most annoying one for me is the throttle/boost situation in the spit IIa. Feels to me like some horrible compromise they've made to make the spit match their idea of what the FM should be.

An ATAG gentleman explained me today that this behavior of the Spitfire IIa throttle is historical, below 30-40% the throttle was erratic.

Cheers!

He said he spoke with other ATAG guys. Additionally he said that in 1946 the Spit IIa behaved the same. Honestly I didn't remember that.

He was ATAG fermen or fastmen or farmen or something like that.

Cheers!

Its just hard to imagine the RR engine behaving like that, plus ive read most books on the BOB and most of the books by the pilots that flew in the battle and ive never heard that before. Not saying the guy is not telling the truth but im sure i would of come across that info on the spit2.

I agree. Funny because he was flying red

Can't remember the source, but I'm sure I read that at idle the Merlins were a snarling angry beast.

I guess like any engine with a high overlap cam, they need high revs to breath properly.

Its porked.

"Off you go laddie, finest aircraft in the world. Just one thing, the throttle's a bit of a bugger, only controls the boost over about 0.1% to 40% of its movement and you can't get her down to idle, but you can cope with that can't you? Eh? Rolls Royce? Nothing to do with them its just the way Supermarine designed the throttle installation. We've asked them for an upgrade but everyone's working on Seafires now. Current spitties won't be changed."
