It's hard enough for me to figure out what the n1k's instruments are telling me.

There are many kinds of Yaks, though I would enjoy knowing the model in question, so we should not by any means assume it was a Yak-9 or Yak-3.

Since when does a rumor have any relationship whatsoever to the facts.

Sometimes I'm surprised enough that German planes' gauges are in atmospheres instead of inches of mercury...

what about mmHg?

what about mmHg?

Not exactly a US measurement, and none of the other aircraft in the game have that AFIAK... I think Japanese and British aircraft have 'boost', I'm not really sure what that means.

IIRC the japanese show boost in mmHg

I'm assuming that is any pressure above or below ambient.

That doesn't really make sense, the A6M5 tops at '30' boost, which by that logic would be 790 mmHg or ~1.03 atm
Most of the German fighters top out in the 1.2-1.4 atm range.
British boost may be in inHg but it says 'LB' on the dial... although I kind of doubt it's psi..
