Changing supercharger speed too early.

[E69_VonPepofen]

       Dear Friends:

I must say in advance (again) that I love the game and I very much enjoy flying in the different maps provided.

In order to improve realism, I want to remark what happens in the game if someone changes supercharger speed too early. In the real world changing supercharger speed at a lower than stated height leads to a decrease in boost pressure. In the game it leads to an increase in boost pressure, what makes defined altitude supercharger speed change useless. In the game it is better and  easier to change supercharger speed as soon as possible.  On the other hand, changing supercharger speed too late correctly leads to a decrease in boost pressure. It will add a lot of realism to get boost pressure down when changing speed too early.

Best regards:

Are you sure that switching on a supercharger ahead of time reduces the intake pressure? This you say is counter-intuitive, since the supercharger is sending higher volumes of (compressed) air.
 

The logical thing is that, in superchargers (not turbochargers) what happens if you connect it too early is a slight reduction in engine RPM by the coupling of the mechanism to the crankshaft rotation with a loss of power. But not a loss of intake pressure.

Supercharger stages were nor also something that you could chance all the time. It could overheat the clutch and cause an issue. I hope they will model that some day in the planes that happened

              Please find enclosed the behavior of Merlin 66, power to height. If you change supercharger too soon, you will get a power in the yellow zone, following the 2nd gear line to the left.
