Beta 44 F6F-5 gauges v E6b display

[214thCavalier]

Noticed today the F6F lists max rpm as 2700 in E6B but i can only pull 2600 on gauge.

Also at Mil power (100%) E6B states 54 MP, I can pull up to 60MP on gauge.

Emergency power (wep) E6B states 57.5 MP, I can pull 65.5 MP on the gauge.

Bug, unless the E6B values are only effective at a certain altitude.

I noticed this kind of thing on a number of a/c last night. Certainly the available boost/MP will change with alt and supercharger settings. Not sure about how that might or might not effect available RPM. I am assuming the figures given in the E6B are for sea level.

its the same with the max cruise setting, it says use something like 2150rpm and 36mp...yet with 2150 i can only get 30mp.... or something like that
