Never the less, it is so. From day one. I think I read about somewhere from a 2nd party that it's a design choice. Regardless, just try it yourself. Push the throttle all the way forward. The green light for 3 minutes of water injection left, never turns on. Press the enable water injection binding, you get extra knots of airspeed immediately (about 9 at sea level), and after a while, the green light does turn on. The two screenshots bellow are taken with water injection off and on respectively: null There is a jump in power, or at the very least, airspeed. Look at the images above

Could be a number of things then. Maybe the instruments don't show the right values. Or it could be that the plane performance isn't directly "bound" to the pressure parameters. Might be a bug worth reporting on separately.

But do you get an increased performance as a result of pressing it? If so, then the bug isn't the total power/speed ratio, but the instrumentation. EDIT: when I press it, I get at least 9 extra knots down low.

I've been using that for the most part, though to be honest, on the few occasions I push the lever all the way to the top, it doesn't seem to be making a lot of difference performance wise. Is it the fuel consumption or engine over heating that are most effected?

Latest test, no video this time around. Gross weight 12176lbs, 6 rockets and 48% fuel, the closest I could get to that chart. 2700RPM, 59 MP, auto lean = 305 knots ASL, 351mph or 565mkh 2700RPM, 59 MP, auto lean, water injection on = 314 knots ASL (managed to push it to 315 by decreasing the MP a bit to 37-38), or 361mph or 582kmh. null

That's the middle position, right?

What is your throttle setting? I get 59 by pushing it all the way forward. Could be. At least those pylons we haul around must be worth some extra weight, on top of drag. It absolutely is implemented. I have it on one of my HATs. That's how I got to 317 knots (in the second part of the video) and 320 in a shallow dive to the deck. Make sure your binding is working.

Ah, good to know. Are they even informed of these bugs? They never responded in the bug report section here on the forums.

Am I doing something wrong? My sea level tests: 50% internal fuel. 56-59 MP, 2700RP, experimenting with fuel mixture. Without water injection, I get 303-304 knots ASL, which translates to 348-350mph or 563kmh. Seems right on the money there, if that chart is correct. With water injection, I get 317 knots ASL, 365 mph or 587kmh. I'm still not sure which fuel mixture works best, and to use when, but the numbers appear close to what they should be. I can take her up to 320 knots in a shallow dive. Why do you think we have such different results? Are your cowls tucked in?

Does it mention bug fixes and FM changes?

Do you mean an absolute top speed possible under given circumstances in level flight (such as infinite fuel burn at a given gross weight) or a particular climb and acceleration profile?

They are discontinuing it? A sad day indeed What if what we have already breaks after the warranty expires..... alas....

Can you share (if allowed and available) the data charts? I don't have enough data for full level flight evaluation at all altitudes.

I will when I get the time. I don't own the module, nor have I flown it in other sims, so it was never high on my research priorities. I'm sorry, but videos like this one are almost completely irrelevant to the issue. A "five" mile drag race in which a guy firewalls the throttle and finishes at n spot is not a good bug report. If you want to prove a module is over or under performing, you need to fly the numbers and document the differences from published material. We are talking time to climb, speed at altitude, excess power/acceleration and the like. Finally, personal feelings are even less relevant. Unless you are a WW 2 aviator that flew with the thing, in which case, you should offer your services as a certified SME.

Why not? I haven't really researched the P-47 we have in game, but the BF-109k is over 30 knots faster then F4U 1-D. And that's just top speed. Produce some acceleration charts and we can analyze those as well.
