F4U-1D: Throttle Curve

 

OEM - is centered on 40" of manifold pressure.

Straight Line - does not function well around the boat, as pattern/approach manifold settings are +/- 30", and even a touch causes a several inch change, with associate torque/trim adjustments.

And since 30" falls in that 1/4-1/3 range on the joystick curve graph, any std. curve change, slider or axis, only exacerbates the problem.

Solution:

Custom Curve - centered on 30" of manifold pressure.

With a nice +/- 5" sweet zone either side of 30", for around the boat.

 

Give it a try.

This one is centered on 32", 30" being shifted to the right, and has a little better curve profile proportion.

Give it a try.

Update:

Added a detent step, to coincide w/ the mdl.'s Mil/Full throttle detent.

Come back any from full throttle, and it drops back into Mil power.

 

Also allowed for a symmetrical curve, centered on 30" of manifold pressure.

Really liking this one, both in a fight and around the boat.

Call it done, unless they change the flight profile.

Give it a try.
