not enough incentive to throttle back..

perhaps realistic fuel burn at low throttle settings?


throw me a bone i wanna see people driving slow and have incentive to drive slow myself

Tour 7
AKDejavu has 1 kill and has been killed 0 times against Citabria

Tour 6
Dejavu has 1 kill and has been killed 0 times against Citabria.

Tour 5
Dejavu has 0 kills and has been killed 0 times against Citabria.

Tour 4
Dejavu has 0 kills and has been killed 0 times against Citabria.

I don't think DJ flew in Tour 4, but don't recall. You can enlighten me further DJ if I'm incorrect.

Just figured I'd support my bud! :-)

How about some realizm for multi drivers, like asysmetrical thrust how about Vmc dangers and keys to control prop and mp and fuel just like the real drivers, its not all about getting the kill, sometimes its about getting back and taking care of the equiptment.

Imagine in a P38 go into the vert just approaching Vso start throttle down on either engine while keeping full pwr on oppisite engine and just enought rudder to keep wings perpendicular to horizon and viola a asysmetrical cartwheel..

whhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the fun

I believe AH does model asymetrical thrust.

Fuel economy is affected by throttle and RPM settings.

This has been discussed before, but one reason to throttle back would be to model some limit on MIL power operation.  I know some planes had 15 minute limits for MIL power, but I don't know the consequences of running over the limit.  Overheating?  Engine damage?  It's probably a combination of variable effects, and might be too big a can-o-worms to model.

I've done this before.  You cause shift+1 and shift+2 (and 3-4 for B17s) to control individual engines.  Then shift+e to bring them all back together (and they'll all move to the same MAP when you hit it).

Went around 3 times before she started falling, must've been a sight to see for the bandit that was chasing me

Citabria,

Actually, I use lower throttle and RPM setting for cruise all the time.  Extends flight time considerably.
