This morning I have been reading in an M3 entry where he talks about cabin mirrors and that it is weighing the request of some users who complain about how "complicated the management of the Corsair engine is" and that they are asking M3 to "simplify it".

They have already thrown themselves into the pool putting the Water Master and now they are going to put the water injection that was introduced in 1946....; it seems to me a mistake..., but the bloody thing is that they are going to retouch the engine management model because people want to fly the Corsair to the Warthunder....

 

Is all this true?.

I hope not, DCS is meant to be high fidelity, not a gamey sim to please War Thunder mentality.

There are clear problems with the current implementation of ADI and engine management.

For one, you can't currently use WEP at 2700RPM without overboosting the engine, and that shouldn't be happening. And using the POH to make it "X time to failure" is no more realistic than not having it at all.

I’m guessing the people complaining about the engine management being too hard, have never flown the p-47, or tried taking off and landing a Spitfire with “takeoff assistance” turned off.  Or they are too used to full burner at all times in more modern jets.  Maybe its not setup perfect and some aspects needs adjustments, sure ( WIP right?). But hard to fly and manage the engine? Most certainly not. If anything, I think it’s actually pretty tame, for a warbird… imo

The water injection controll mechanism we have now is the one installed in the final Goodyear built Corsairs, which were also the final F4U-1 series planes built during the summer of 1945. All contracts were quickly cancelled with the end of the war. Vought had already converted production to the F4U-4 model early that year. Only the manuals were updated in 1946. 

Engine management shoud in no case be simplified to make it more "fun". There are other sims for that, or difficulty options in DCS themself. Make it optiopnal if you have to, a special option "indestructable engine" or so.
