I was rining out the F4U-4 today and I noticed that before I reached 5 minutes WEP cut out.

I was around 11K and I was thinking maybe that was a blower shift point that caused WEP to drop.

Is this the case or is there something I have missed? The Temp was in the yellow as well.

Its a bug effecting all planes, just at different alts, the p51 for instance drops wep at 16k or so...

allso about WEP.

do the P40b got WEP in Ah2? if i remember right i read somewhere about P40b wep ratings. (might be wrong here)

No, the P-40B doesn't have WEP. It didn't have it in AH1 either. If you click the E6B button on the clipboard while in flight, a list of engine settings will be displayed for those planes that have had that completed. If an emergency setting is not displayed, there isn't one.

Pyro, I'm not asking for a change, but just curious.

What about the case of some planes which do not use separate injections, but simply use an increased RPM which is higher than "military power" standards?

I'm not sure if I got it right, but I seem to recall Tilt mentioning that the Soviet fighters typically used such a regime - please correct me if I'm wrong, but for instance, doesn't the max RPM our Yak-9Us use technically fall under 'emergency power' category?

Pyro · « **Reply #6 on:** May 06, 2004, 12:50:31 PM »

In AH1, RPM always stayed the same in wep as it was in military. In AH2, some planes will show an RPM increase in wep. That leads to some small performance discrepencies that I need to rectify.

The Yak-9U doesn't have a wep setting in AH. Technicaly it did, but it's use was prohibited as it caused engine problems.

BTW, most planes don't use water injection and still have an emergency power setting.

hi pyro.

my computer cant run AH2 atm. (working on a new system soon)
is there any other way to view those E6B charts?

hm, btw what does E6B mean?

E6B is a aviation "computer". It contains wind triangle calculations, various unit conversion and speed/alt/temp calculations. The simplest ones are made out of cardboard.

Why E6B? beats me.
