This is related to the windmilling versus dead prop wish and how it'll make a difference in gliding in AH. Film attached.
-
It's already modeled in AH2 and the propeller model is improved in AH3. :aok

Figured as much. :cheers:

AH3 include flight model changes? are you sure?
-
Reducing prop rpm significantly increasing the gliding distance but it seems like most players aren't even aware of that they could adjust the rpm...

You should notice it in a high speed dive followed by a zoom climb to low air speed like a hammerhead/stall turn or tail slide. There's also the lag in RPM with throttle changes.

What exactly is this difference? Are you referring to the engine noise? Is there a corresponding effect on what the engine/prop is actually doing modeled in game, or is it just a sound change?

wow that could be a huge difference to the mossie. It has two of those swirrling objects and the cause huge drag when idle and I also suspect that they add huge drag at high speed dives. It is not always a bad thing though. Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.

It's an improvement in the thrust modeling, there is also a difference in the engine sounds.

Here is a clip of prop. stopped, windmilling with - all the way, and windmilling with + all the way.
Each is checked from 9k to 8k or so.
Seems prop. stopped is only 100fpm less rate of descent than with the prop. windmilling and the - sign all the way.
With + sign all the way and windmilling, descent rate is more than doubled.
Thanks arlo for your results and the motivation to truly see what the effects of all 3 conditions are.
