HurricaneMk1 autoclimb

[Schatzi]

Actually, im not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" of the new CT modelling.

Before ver. 2.07
When hitting autoclimb at fast speeds (above 200) the HMk1 would climb steeply and then, when entering sustained climb - because its done too fast - the engine would cut out due to neg G, plane dives a bit until engine restarts and plane entered normal climb. Annoying, but if you knew/remembered, no problem.

Now, with the new patch, the pulling of negative G forces (via autoclimb) and the following eng cutouts happen at much lower speeds already. It goes to the point that, after initial steep climb, and eng cutting upon entering normal climb, the HMk1 will pick up speed in the following dive, speed which now is enough to make eng cut out AGAIN. Only sure fire way to enter autoclimb (without any eng trouble) now is slow down to approximatly 120mph (sustained climb speed) before pressing ALT X.




Now, i realize the Mk1 isnt top priority, but it would be great if that could be changed again (if that is possible at all).

There are many planes that jerk up and down (they porpoise) pretty badly when entering auto climb, and this isn't even at high speeds. The nose will jerk up very fast, stop, jerk up very fast, stop.

I'm thinking maybe the erratic jerking motion cuts your engine out? I'm not sure.

No Krusty, its not jerky movement. It smooth autoclimb, like it always was, but it climbs steeper/changes climb rate more abruptly, which causes it to come into subzero G levels at lower speed already - hence the cutouts.

Now its so that if i hit autoclimb at anything higher then climb speed, i get eng cutout at "the top" - plane starts diving to keep speed, eng gets on again, plane picks up speed, starts back climbing and eng cuts out at top again.... its perpetual now - VERY ANNOYING.

Same problem with the Spitfire Mk1.

Problem persists in Version 2.08.1
