Its interesting that you mentioned this fact.
Actually AH1 had the same effect but many players didnt know about it or didnt think it really saved much and wasnt worth fooling with. I tested several models to find differences in "flight time/range" in AH1 in offline mode. I advised my Squad of such findings. Example was the FW 190-D9. I explained to some of my squad that with a throttle setting of 35 Inches Man. Pressure...The 190 -D9 would get around 20 mins more Fly time than if you were at a Full Throttle setting. Also tested were the P38 and the P51...all with similar results. I have been playing the "Conservation" Aces high game for a long time now.

I thought I read a post where HTC said that is was not implemented in AHI.  I still reduced RPMs in AHI just in case lol.  That makes no sense hahahaha.

Granted.......the tests i performed were in Offline mode prolly a year ago. But im pretty certian that the settings were the same in the MA as it was in Offline mode. At least i was 2 years ago or so. As this and other testing was the reason i posed this question in the BBS

I know the results even in the MA seemed pretty evident.
maybe you were a conservationist and didnt know it?

Mugz, above you are talking about Manifold pressure. That has always had an effect on fuel consumption. It's RPM reduction that didn't have an effect in AHI (as is my understanding).
