Title: May be an animation problem with the Spit Mk 8 and 9 rpm gauges
Post by: BulletVI on August 17, 2010, 08:39:46 PM
Now i know you all think im daft and what not but in another topic iwas talking about the Spits rpm gauge  and it has gotten off topic as usual HUH :)
But on my screen it shows at full throttle around 2600 -2700 rpm then with wep on it shows around 2800-2900 rpm. As it should show at full throttle 3000 rpm shouldn't it. ( i mean it has messed my heid a bit i think whats wrong i should have more power :)  )
Is this just a fault with the gauge animation or something else.

Please would like to know

Oh and i tried recalibration of my stick in game and out of game and it never solved it :)

First off, what makes you think it should show at 3000rpm?

Secondly, WEP only engages at full throttle, so throttle calibration would have nothing to do with it..

The 3000 figure I was giving in the other thread was for the P-51. I dont know which Spit you are talking about but the XVI I tried acts just like you said here. The P-51 RPM gauge has two read lines at 3000 RPM and 3300 RPM but right now Im not too interested in looking up the meaning.

I've been playing with the Spitdweeb planes for a couple of days (Spit9, Spit8, Spit14)...the RPM gauge shows 2900rpm level in level flight full throttle WEP engaged when E6B shows 3000rpm. That is the only issue. Everything else being ASSumed by the OP is based on reading comprehension issues.

Ah but at the start i did say it was either an animation fault or something else i never sujested the Spit was delibertly underpowered all though some other British players think it is :)

You have been insinuating that the rpm's should show 3000 at full throttle before WEP is engaged, which is absolutely not factual.

Pardon you smoking wacky bachy or summit ??????????


I thought that in a debate that if one person was wrong in the slightest way then the other rechecks his facts and if the one is still wrong you tell him its called debating. And if you cant handle that you shouldn't join the topic :)

It's only a debate when both parties have equal IQ's...yours isn't high enough to understand the only thing you get right is HI.

actually that is completely factual. before the throttle had a linkage to the prop speed/rpm control, the manual states that the engine rpm had to reach 3000 before full boost could be wound on with the throttle. later they were linked so you couldnt engage full boost without 3000 rpm. btw full throttle is WEP.

bullet, do you realize that with as much nonsense as you post in these forums, even when you end up in a roundabout way having possibly found an actual bug -- (the rpm gauge is not showing proper rpm on WEP in the spits).. htc may not even bother taking you seriously?

ya know, the boy who cried wolf and such...

remember, you're the one who told hitech that he forgot to model drag in this flight simulator.

Which manual are you looking at? Even Bullet's Spit 1 reference shows the constant speed control and the throttle had to be full forward (wep) in order to reach 3000 rpm.

Quote from: Spit IX, XI & XVI (merlin 61, 63, 66, 70 or 266 engine), sect 54 (ii) Combat
NOTE.- On those aircraft which do not have the interconnected throttle and propellor controls the propellor speed control lever must be advanced to the maximum rpm position before the thottle is opened fully.

Bullet an animation issue would likely be less than 10 RPM or as Hitech stated in your related thread, it may be off by a pixel.

Ahem and he did

The game is not boring as such it has no drag factor :)

Oh boy, here we go again.

So, please enlighten us there genius, are you using the word drag as meaning "no fun" or "air resistance"?

I have been flying the spit8 for about, well not sure how long but since i joined, I didnt even now there was a rpm gauge (j/k).  I heard this from one of the best players in the game.  forget the gauges, if you have to constantly look down to see your speed, fuel, etc, you dont have enough time looking around for eny cons and you will get killed.
