M-105 engine in BoS aircraft inconsistent with newer releases

[TAIPAN_]

All of the original Battle of Stalingrad aircraft with M-105 engine have a different mixture operation than the newer aircraft:

 

1. Indicators of smoke trail are different, e.g. 300m altitude smoke trail disappears when leaning below 95% for the original released aircraft (Yak1/1b/LaGG/Pe-2 ser.87)

However for recent released aircraft at the same altitude you must lean the mixture down to 70% (e.g. Pe-2 ser.37)

 

2. Top speed for aircraft released time of Battle of Stalingrad with the M-105 reach their low altitude top-speed at 100% mixture. This includes LaGG, Pe-2 s.87, Yak-1, Yak-1b - and the cruising speed decreases by 1-2 km/h if mixture is reduced by 20%.

In contrast all of the recently released aircraft with M-105 reach their low-altitude top-speed at 80% mixture. This includes Yak 7b, Yak 9, Yak 9T, Pe-2 s.37 - the cruising speed increases by 5km/h when setting 80% mixture at 300m altitude vs 100% .

 

Also the specifications page states it doesn't need to be leaned until more than 3-4km which indicates all of the M-105 aircraft should operate mixture in the same way.

 

I'm not which are more correct the original releases or the new releases, but it's a better simulation if the models can match the specs/guidelines consistently.

 

Can the engine models be updated for consistency?
