Mosquito 150 octane engine timers

[Hitcher]

It appears that depleting the 5 minute emergency power setting also depletes the entirety of the 1 hour combat duration.

This is only with 150 octane equipped, at 18lbs boost the engines act as expected.

@Hitcher, you need to turn on the second stage of the supercharger.

Can you go into more detail about the use of the supercharger - when, altitudes, cautions, etc?

Are you sure its that ?

 

I try 150 oct modification on Kuban QM and fly on max power untill emergancy timer expires on 2000m in sup 1 and 2nd test on sup 2 and both times only emergancy timer expired message shows up, combat was ok, it expired later because emergancy waisted it faster.

I try at 200m and same thing it didnt mather if i fly sup 1 or 2.

 

Only way i get both combat and emergancy expired at same time was when i used 89/90% rpm+trottle for some time and then go on max power, then combat timer gets deplited faster.

 

I never expirianced this to be conected to supercharger in pos 1 insted 2 or oposite.
