Not quite, once the Lancaster dropped its ordnance it could not be recalled.

Lolz...

My boost was stuck at .5 for some reason and I was stuck at 230 kts.  It took 6 sectors to get back up to speed, no idea what caused it.  Still managed 47K and change though....

So, since this keeps getting commented in... has anyone ever experienced, or accidentally pressed something, that would kill your boost, in a Lanc?  Right now I am pulling 5Lbs at the same altitude I only managed .5 yesterday.

Goes to show you can turn absolutely nothing into a topic.  So here it goes.

How long did you take to get to 47k?

47k damage points. Had the same thing happen today. If you let your airspeed fall under 140 or so at that altitude it takes the engines forever to spin back up to boost. It seems very wired because the rpm are maxes out Nd boost stays at .5   To get the boost spooled back up you need to pull a shallow dive. I wish o could figure ou the reason behind it. When I get home I will post a screen shot.

This is at ful throttle.  I tried RPMs, reducing RPMs reduced boost even further.

You need to adjust the "more cowbell" lever.
