@MarcT-NL I map trims (2 of the 3) in the mossie to virtual joystick axes in DCS and have momentary inputs for increase, decrease and reset programmed to change values in the virtual axes in "VPC Configuration Tool" or perhaps with vjoy + "Joystick Gremlin" (I am sure there are multiple other tools that can achieve this) . This works really well when the momentary inputs are mapped to a rotary encoder with press for reset. Its a quality of life thing that helps me deal with the imperfect hardware environment that we have have to deal with.

Thats interesting, I was hoping for the equivalent of magic blue smoke is that consistent with other piston AC in DCS? I think I have heard about the p51 and p47 engines giving up in DCS due to abuse. Thankyou Terry, I am aware of the stated limits are and have been dutifully flying within that regime once in cruise. However I thought I'd just push the handles all the way forward and gun it for paris to see what happened, It looked like I would run out of fuel before anything else happened. There is a discrepancy within the manual regarding boost, from page 108:

In excess of 1 hour flown at ~3000rpm +18 boost, the manual (As stated on page 108 in the table "Operational limitations of the merlin 25 engine") does not state how long this regime can be sustained, however this is close to the "Operational Necessity" (RPM 300 Boost +25). I realise the aircraft doesnt fall out of the sky if one of these limits is exceeded, however this seems excessive. Incidentally I am not sure how I could ever come close to +25 boost, please advise. Track cannot be uploaded due to size limitations, (76mb) lesser size track would not demonstrate the problem. Please provide an alterative mechanism to supply the trk file. Kind Regards
