Title: Allow for selection of Engine configurations on planes that apply
Post by: Ardy123 on January 05, 2010, 01:26:53 PM: Many planes esp the bf 109s had a large array of field modifications. It would be cool if we could select different engines to go along with the plane. For example, If we gonna fight high bombers allow us to select the DB605 ASM instead DB605AM which had a larger supercharger improving the high alt performance, etc...

here are some engine configs for the bf 109 g14

- DB605 AM 1800 PS with MW-50 (modeled as wep in game?)
- DB605 ASM same output of 1800 PS but with a larger super charger, makes a difference at higher alts.
- DB605 ASC 2000 PS with use of C3 fuel

Yeah, I thought it was more complicated than that due to there being many 'on the spot' mods done. Did the G14/AS use DB605 ASC, because I thought it used the DB605 ASM (or did the G6 use the ASM)?

That said I would love to see a G-6/AS or G-14/AS in game.
