Give me a week or two (until I get back to the USA) and I will release this patch as is, but with a built in uninstaller too (with the hotfix included). This will allow everyone to try it and then uninstall it if they choose.

The majority of the Spitfire fanboys were up in arms about the 4.10 patch introducing the new less stable Spitfire. It has a greater response to adverse yaw than before requiring more dedicated rudder use and making the Spitfire a generally more difficult aircraft to fly. Those people are still up in arms about the 4.11 patch not "correcting" that.

What the Spitfire has to do with a FW190 discussion is totally unknown to me.

The FW190 did get quite a few changes. I noticed that you haven't (yet) mentioned the much improved turn times, better energy retention, and faster acceleration making the FW190 better able to maintain overall speed.

Fixed that for ya.

Bye bye to the Noob-tube of Il-2 1946, 190 pilots have to work for a living now.

Are you kidding me Blonde? It has never been easy to be a FW BnZ man and now it is down the sh#tter. And even when I go dig up the actual info and boost data, some other spit knucklehead will come along with a different source claiming it is incorrect. And so goeth into debate infinity

Icefire - The FW doesnt need much improved turn times. It is not a Spit.

I don't know, sounds possible there might be a legitimate complaint, at least where the Corsair takeoff perforamce is concerned, but it also sounds like that will be addressed.

I haven't played 4.11 yet by I am curious about the overheating. While I can't speak intelligently about the -190, from everything I've read about Corsair pilots, the it seemed they could throw that plane all over the place at full power, full prop pitch, and long (longer than 20 sec, anyway) burst of WEP without it breaking the plane. Engine may have needed an overhaul afterwards, but it didn't burn out in flight.

Does "Engine Overheat" really mean that your engine is overheating or is it the game's way of saying, "keep an eye on that".

Ignore it and the engine will Overheat and sieze. That has always been the case but I don't know how much v4.11m has changed it?

According to the 4.11m readme, engine damage from overheat no longer occurs at a set time after overheat and the type of damage can vary (oil overheat vs. coolant overheat).

Why would one use boost in a dive...?

Icefire - The FW doesnt need much improved turn times. It is not a Spit.

Legitimate data is still the basis of a solid argument. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. Still not sure what the Spitfire has to do with it.

It did need improved turn times. They were off by a couple of seconds (I believe it's the British tests I was reading for that) and thus that along with a variety of other issues in the modeling has been corrected. In my mind for the MUCH better. The biggest problem I have with the FW190 in 4.11 is to get it to slow down on landing. It holds energy maybe a little TOO well now.
