Hi,

I have returned to WOFF after several years absence, now with BH&HII, and whilst in training on the BE2 in 1915 I have noticed that full power on the throttle is around 1650 rpm. but if I press down on the 0 button on my keyboard for a couple of seconds I get vroom vroom and the rpm goes up to c. 1800 rpm and will stay there until I move the throttle (at which point full power is back to 1650 rpm). Is this a new feature, or has it been around for a long time? Capt. Triggers is very reticent on the subject, as on many things, but I suspect that it might lead to a much increased chance of engine failure if used for too long (?). If this is not a feature of WOFF, It must be that my joystick needs calibrating - but it is such a cool feature, as the earlier version of the RAF1A engine had a 'normal' full speed of 1600 rpm for 90 hp but could be revved up to 1800 rpm for 100 hp. Later, the engine was uprated to 100 hp at 1800 rpm and could be revved up to a new maximum of 2000 rpm 'for a few minutes only'
