Numbers? Here the nunbers (serious)

Now only if I knew of a chat room......

I understand what you're saying. Hit "P" once, and you get max power. Hit it again and the real WEP [MW-50, GM-1, etc..] kicks in. It'd be great. Now to think of a way for it to be implemented..... Endlessly nagging Pyro with SPAM both in e-mail and here?  
Hmmmmmm. Maybe.....

Yep, let the dweebs burn their engines up by having the WEP button work only for planes with appropriate systems(ie: Me 109G-10, P-47D, F4U-1).

So that you don't have to read aircraft manuals - simply put a green tick on the gauges at the max continuous settings, a yellow tick at max cruise, and a redline at max allowable.

I suppose then there would have to be an automatic "kommandogerat" option for those that can't handle such complex engine managment...

<S> Visconti The above is a LOT better than the previous post !

Gotta take my comment back

Yes HTC did a great work on the c205V.
When I have compared the recalculated data and the AH c205 I was extremely surprised (positive comment)

About the monography "Ali d'Italia" I have one copy and yes these data have something strange (1075HP - 5'55" - ...) but I think this monography is for modellers, at the end of this 56 page book we found indication on how to build a statik model, I doubt they have done a correct research about the performances.

Yes the maintenance data book have no performance data but tell you the use of the engine, whit approssimation u can recalculate something to veryfy with the performance data disponible. And again no WEP on Italian AC.

With the Re2001 I have done the same work to verify if the method used for the recalculated data was ok. Re2001 is completely different from the c202 and no direct association was done.

About the G55 we have used data from the prototipe data, test data on production AC or at least so called but we dont have the 1947 book whit the, I think sure, performance. Can someone that have this book verify if is correctly recalculated or if there hare "big" errors?
Please, I dont ask the data, just give me a comment.


Duckwing6, I know that I have done an hvy post and the reaction you and others have had is very comprensible.
The problem is that i am not diplomatic at all, my worst difect.

Anyway, at the end of this month probably I meet L. Gorrini and we can see if more info hare available. (ex c202-c205 pilot)

I have to say that I do miss seeing a 205 in the air with your handle above it. <S>

Yes, I can say that Visc is the first notable casualty due to the lack of an early-mid war plane set. Too bad. I'm afraid he wont be the only one.

Curiosity here-
WEP on the A8 and Italian fighters MAY represent the max allowable RPM speeds on these aircraft. On the A8 at least this RPM and boost was only sustainable for a limited time before the radial began to overheat.

 Arguably this is most frustrating in its homogenous application for planes like the La-5FN that could run at full boost-Full RPM for an unlimited amount of time. The Ash-82 could not sustain enough boost to overheat itself, the amount dropping off after 6500 ft to negligible after 8,000. OTOH a plane like the Nik with such a touchy engine and massive (almost 1:1) hp/CID ratios get a great amount of laxity in this way- A real plane would probably have engine failure quickly trying to run the engine like we do.

Perhaps a different system might enchance the differences between fighters and the amounts of power they could produce?
