Water Injection

[Firebugs]

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious but I've bound the water injection buttons and have not been able to see any engine performance changes whatsoever when I press them.

Same here. I don't know if there is a special button to break the wire to go into max power. There's very little auditory cues in the aircraft.

You have to mouse over the rpm handle and using the mouse slightly raise it and then pull it down hard. It will then up your rpm to 3,000 + . Doing this I have gotten it to go about 3,600 rpm. Once you have done this you can use the throttle to modulate your rpm. It is weird and unwieldy but it works. I am not sure if this is a bug or what - but it needs fixed ASAP. I also cannot get the aiming light switch and rehostat to bind to my hotas and there is no option for charging the guns.

I think that is a bug, and a separate issue.  Water injection should not permanently modify engine RPM, it should boost the manifold pressure only, the same as it does in the P47.

 

Edit to add:  At sea level I can get 295-300kts, which is (from what I've read) correct for full mil power.  At 20,000ft at full mil I get 234kts IAS, which translates to 400mph TAS, which is (I believe correct).  To get that extra bit to bring it up to 425mph TAS at 20,000 I believe I need water injection and I don't believe it's engaging in DCS at the moment.

Definitely something wrong with that trick.  I got it to 155% rpm and 121 Manifold. A nice 354kts for about 1 min before it kills the engine.    Thats fast!

Water injection definitely doesn't seem to be modeled right. It shouldn't even be a separate mapping; the injection was automatic when the throttle was pushed to full.
