Just avoid above 2700 rpm and avoid windmilling so keep at least 30inch while doing 2700rpm. At initial release it was much worse, ED did some tweaking but we can't over-rev enging to 3050rpm as stated in manual so at the same time engine is more prone to failure due to windmilling.

First of all, you should track what actually is killing engine, but i assume that excessive rpm is reason why engine dies, then if you want make high speed dives in P-47 only way to contain rpm within limits is switching to manual pitch control and keep rpm within limits manually. Reducing rpm in automatic mode does little to help that issue because no matter what rpm you set via prop lever, max pitch for prop remains exactly the same and engine will overspeed above 2700rpm at exactly same speed regardless of prop lever position. If it is not rpm issue then some replay track will come handy.

Turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases. So when turbo reaches working rpm, compressor starts to elevate boost, elevated boost creates more exhaust gases which makes turbo spin faster then compressor provide even more boost and so on so on. There is a chain reaction which simply leads to engine blowup if not controlled properly. In P-47 there is a system which controls turbo but it is very basic and only thing which that system does is, that it will prevent engine from blowing up instantly, keeping proper boost is up to pilot. Supercharger setups are much more stable in that regard, system controls how much air goes to supercharger and that's it. Sudden boost increase does not affect supercharger speed and does not affect supercharger output.

Totally agree, if done properly take off is manageable, there is one take off which plane didn't even twitch a bit while leaving deck. I remember @Yo-Yo was explaining that step by step and what went wrong and what actually made that snap roll.

I was taxing among other F4Us and i must say that they need to hire sound specialist because it is a mess right now, there is overwhelming constant sound of the engines it fades away with distance but there is almost no lost of sound level for fair amount of distance and then suddenly it fades away at certain distance. Another thing there is no change in sound in cockpit during power changes and rpm changes. If no one noticed it then i must have something wrong with my setup then.

Agree, if any significant torque counter reaction was present, that plane would start to roll immediately after leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier.

I didn't have any wrong in mind, i only siad that as long fortune wheel is spinning everything can happen That was response to statement, that this won't happen at all.

Unless ED stop to develop game, that kind of stuff will be in that game, so only question is, when it will happen.

Great idea but i bet that it won't happen in near future.

Yeah ppl expecting that mosquito should be very fast but we are in situation where on axis side we have absolute beasts of the planes like D-9 or K-4 and no other allied plane will outrun those 2 unless ED will introduce P-51H or some other super-prop.

Honestly there are so many planes which we are missing and another version of mosquito won't do any good imho.

From my experience if i over rev not higher then 2700 the engine is fine i avod over revving above 2700. If you pulling rpm to 2000 that doesn't change max pitch in automatic mode and this will make engine over rev even at lower speeds. I mean over rev rpm above what you set not above 2700.

Unlike every single warbird in DCS P-47 very easily over-revs prop. You can switch to manual mode and drop rpm but in auto mode maximum pitch is lower then maximum pitch in manual mode. I didn't find any data about that but it looks suspicious that P-47 known as excellent diver has this problem and this is only artificial problem because prop it self is capable of reaching higher pitch but auto mode don't do that for some reason. Just couple degrees more and engine dying in dive would be gone in no time.

@skywalker22 Hi, i watched that replay and only thing which was out of normal was that you did rev engine couple times up to high rpm other then that everything was as i do every time. You didn't over rev engine during take off which is quite often, ppl just forget to switch governor to auto and that kills engine quite fast. My advice is that you should try to move throttle with more finesse and don't rev it high until oil temp will be in proper range but probably that is not a reason why your engine quit. If you have any mods, remove them and run repair and clear in launcher if this not helps i have no more ideas.

30inch of mercury and 29.92 inch of mercury is about the same. Boost gauge in mosquito and in spitfire is absolute pressure gauge only scaled in different manner, 0 means what ever they set up to be and it won't change with outside pressure. If you are flying at 20k ft and gauge say 0 that does not mean that pressure in manifold is exact the same as pressure outside if this gauge shows 0 it means that in manifold pressure there is around 30 inch of mercury. If engine is off that gauge will show actual pressure, needle will be slight below 0 boost if outside pressure is below standard atm and slight above if outside pressure is slight above.
