Currently working on a way to get carby heat control for ram effect into the engine model. Oleg did an amazing job, the values and modelling for it are right there. All I have to do is figure out getting it a variable value controlled by the pilot (this also gives you an idea just how comprehensive this simulator engine really is, bloody carby air temp is modelled).
Ram effect is a condition provided by the intake piping. German fighters for example have a ram tube into the supercharger. Result: higher throttle heights for all operating conditions and more usable boost pressure.
Allied aircraft, like the P-40 for example sometimes have a cold air intake tube with internal doors, for quicker start up and better cold environment operation, but also an available ram effect to increase full throttle performance as altitudes rise. Neat, huh.
I want this in. EnsignRo found the modelling for it (thanks dude). Just need to figure the application right.
