[…] Okay that makes sense, and the airplane definitely does not feel underpowered at sea level, however i am still confused why the manifold pressure even at sea level reads such a low reading. The displayed manifold pressure is directly representative of how much power the engine is currently making right? So at sea level shouldnt it read like 54 inches at max (not 60 since theres no wep)

I use the P-38 90% of the time and the rest is the 172. What gauges do I need to be watching when trying to manage my fuel air mixture? What do I need to look for? I always just set it to full rich and even when I’m up at high altitudes, like around 15k feet or 20k feet I watch the manifold pressure to see if lowering my mixture will give me more manifold pressure or something but it doesnt seem to change any readings on the gauges until ive almost pulled the mixture most or all of the way…

[…] When will it be simulated? And cant you just increase the engine power data for the aircraft to match realism in the meantime? Like the aircraft doesnt NEED to be underpowered despite this

In other flight sims the P38 can run 54 inches of mercury at 100% power (without wep) I just took off from Sedona at 5000 feet and I was trying to adjust my ratio of manifold pressure to prop speed to and i noticed i was only getting 20 inches I was at full throttle, i tried to adjust things like rpm and mixture and nothing would increase it Why isnt the plane making full power? I understand many Warbirds nowdays are tuned down to reduce wear over time but i cant imagine that the total…
