RPM 2200 - 2300 "brake wire" WEP broken

Used to be, starting with max RPM lever, it's maxes at 2200 no matter how throttle was manipulated. Only after RPM lever retarded and readvanced full again, you'd get 2300 rpm.

 

I figured this was "braking a RPM lever wire" since quick start guide says

Do not allow propeller overspeeding 2350 rpm more than 30 sec, 2300 rpm more than 4 min.
How it works now. Advancing throttle full, it remains 2200 at zero speed. Somewhere below 100 km/h (before IAS needle start moving) it starts creeping towards 2300.

 

Getting 2200 rpm standing still or very low speed. Either it simulates regulation or it's scripted.

 

With 108 manifold ("E" WEP), standing still, it does go to 2300 even if manifold 91 (non WEP) doesn't.

 

If there was a "brake wire" RPM max 2200 to 2300 it's broken now.

Only Offline. Weirdness.

 

Online (multiplayer) Tested two servers (aerobatics and Hoggit). In both RPM is maxed at 2200 rpm (even in a screaming dive) until one forwards and reverses the RPM lever. As if simulating braking a wire.

 

Offline. Cold start ramp, hot start ramp, hot start runway. In all cases rpm goes to 2300 rpm as soon as you have speed (take off speed creeping over 100 km/h is enough).

 

Why would multiplayer vs single player make a difference? Make no sense.

Mystery thickens. On 4YA_Caucasus_Capture_Base_V134B server one does get 2300. 4YA (unlike aerobatics and Hoggit server) has hot ramp starts and air starts.

 

But ... after ground looping while taxiing (as one does with I-16). After repair and cold start, now rpm limits at 2200. Still one can get to 2300 by retarding and advancing RPM lever.

 

Experiment repeated to verify. RPM level at max and not touching it.
