improved engine/aircraft model

[Lusche]

I'm experiencing random pilot failures....

Would like to see a more realistic aircraft engine model.  Currently every aircraft in AH can is be flown with the engine throttle fire walled.  Currently the only time an engine overheats is when WEP is applied or engine oil pressure is lost.  This is just not realistic.  All the aircraft engines of the time were subject to over heating and had performance limits set that when exceeded for extended periods of time resulted in a engine over heating and or a seized engine.

I dare say that no one in the game limits RPM or Manifold settings currently. 

I think it would add a new dynamic to the game, be interesting to see the effects on game play if pilots were unable to just dash about at full power all the time.  It would add a degree of reality and make for a more accurate aircraft model.

I don’t know if the program elements are all in place to effect this type of change, but right now it’s possible to control Manifold pressure and RPM and the engine over heating element is present for WEP.  I’ve got to think that it could be expended for other RPM settings as well without much trouble.

That was my original wish and I standby it.   I would however like to replace the word "relistic" with the word "challenging”.

If you make any more accusations that HTC intentionally miss representations anything, you will never be back.

Hitech its you who wants to silence the dissenting voice. The history of the USA is built on a minority of dissenting voices.

The poster attempted to mislead the readership into believing that each plane in the plane set is used equally. The way the post was presented. The grammar used to present it. These statistics, the way they were presented were misleading and a deliberate attempt to discount a reality the majority hold as truths. The truth that the slower planes are seldom seen in combat. This was essential to my argument in support of improved engine management. Skuzzy's censorship of the MB destroyed the thread. There is no point in discussion if the games own producers have created statistics that are irrefutable, statistics produced by the governing body, statistics that prove all planes are being used equally and that no preference is being shown to any particular type. As with all dictatorships, the moment anyone contests the hard line statistics, the mute button gets pushed and the men with sticks rush into the crowd for the monitors to quash the dissentors like tanks in Tiananmen Square. Don't you dare swing your club at me Hitech or threaten to silence my questions like some Taliban war lord slitting a press reporters neck. Statements like that are almost newsworthy.

As scherf and I pointed out to you, both of us being Mosquito fans, the Mosquito in AH is not porked.

I think Karnak, those who have read your posts on this thread probably know what kind of faith to put into your opinion.

1. What they said was very clear, they backed it up with numbers available to everyone.  I believe you're response was something to the effect of "nuh-uh."

2. Bye

3. Totally IN

No. You were the one that said: Only 10% of the planes are getting used at all.
Then you were presented facts that did show you are plain wrong.
You called this facts "lies" and the stats being "fudged"

[Ack-Ack]

I think Karnak, those who have read your posts on this thread probably know what kind of faith to put into your opinion.

Actually, those that have been here for awhile know that Karnak is on the level and take his information for what it is, good information. Some on the other hand are just too dense to see the writing on the wall.  I'll leave it up to the community to figure out who those player are.


ack-ack

If any of you looked in his mossie thread, there's this point where folks are giving him info on why he's dead-wrong... then he keeps going on, until:

Karnak: "Did you even read the posts Scherf and I typed? We are not making this up"

Raster: "I'm trying to, you fabricated them so well, I should finish"


^-- anybody NOT notice this guy's a total maroon? I think we're all in agreement. His "free speech" tyrade leads me to believe he's all of 13 years old.

Aptly fits ehhh?

Well, let us put it this way.  If it was a glove and OJ tried it on, he'd be sitting on Death Row right now.


ack-ack

Once you know somebody is delusional there's no point in arguing with them or insulting them. The best thing to do is be nice to them and let the authorities handle it.

actually most of these so called statistics provided by some pilots are just based on what he sees while playing.  like lets say for example, the last 3 planes that were added.  I hardly see anybody flying them, so my assumption is that nobody flies them.  but if I go to check statistics for each planes it says that they're flown 80 times a day, I find it hard to believe, however I accept them as being true, based on one fact.  WHY WOULD HT STAFF LIE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?  what would be the point to "improve" stats for some planes?  It doesnt make any sense for somebody to accuse of the stats being "made up".  grow up.

This thread seems to have gotten far off the mark and degraded into personal attacks.  Skuzzy, please pull the the thread, cancel or delete it , what ever must be done.  thanks

Oh come on Lusche I call the stats "lies" and the facts being "fudged". Try and make some effort eh.

It is just modeled to the data of an FB.Mk VI using Merlin 25s with 100 octane fuel and hampered by flame dampers.

</flame-festival>
Has anyone (else) noticed that if you can identify which of the variations and options are modeled on an aircraft the model doesn't suck?  When it's so good you can tell the difference between regular and premium that's just scary.

No need to. Considering your posting history from 2001 to now, I will just lean back and enjoy the upcoming PNGficiation.
