Supercharger Boost spazzing out above +10


Nealius

Recommended Posts

Above 14~15,000ft with the supercharger engaged, the sound and boost needle will spazz out if I push it past +10. If I push it to +11, the needle will oscillate between +10 and +13 or so, with the supercharger sound cutting in and out. User error on my part?

looks like some bug making supercharger going back na forth between n1st and 2nd gear ? Do you have track ?

Yes, easy to reproduce.

I got boost fluctuating at take off 12lbs 3000 rpm, as well as above 14k ft after 2nd speed was engaged.

Track included.

Beside, anyone noticed that sound level is much higher  when you close canopy?

I noticed this happening as well, same altitude roughly.
It starts at around 15,000ft ish at the default atmosphere temp, and the needle keeps jumping around until about 17,000, where it stops jumping and steadies itself out as I continue to climb.
It starts again as I start to drop altitude.  Only seems to do this, like the OP said, if I push the boost past +10

Switching the fuel pump on helped me in such cases.

Fuel pump being the foremost of the hard to see three switches on the left side.

The fuel pump switch is practically under and hidden by the rudder trim.

 

And I think my new callsign will be „Spazzing“ 🙂

 

Spazzing, out

@Emacs - we're duscussing other issue here. Engine cutting out because of fuel pressure loss without booster pump is one thing, but in this case, we're dealing with mysterious manifold pressure fluctuations, which just were not there in previous versions of the game.

This issue is still present.  I was told that this was actually intentional, and was something modeled for the RR Merlin that no other sim has touched on before? @Yo-YoDo you have any information on this?  Is this actually intended, to have the boost fluctuate even with the tank pressurized and the fuel booster on?  Or is it just a bug?
If it is intended, what makes this phenomenon present in the RR Merlin, but not the Packard Merlin?

It might be due to you over boosting the engine and the automatic boost control (p221) preventing excessive boost (combined Air and Supercharger). Not sure what the setting are for the boost control.

I think on the real engine, oscillations can result from the fact this a mechanical (cam and spring )  system. ED may have modelled that?

Overboosting at 3000rpm and such a medium boost level? I thought would should have +16 or even +18 boost available at max RPM?

 

It depends on what alt you are flying. 18boost will not always be available.

It happened to me at take off 18lbs/3000rpm.

Boost regulator is linked with throttle so when you open up to max boost regulator will maintain 18 boost, but at this alt, you have 12 boost and throttle wide open, so boost regulator is out of operation range, it is simply in off mode.
