Hi All,

For anyone interested, I just noticed among today's new files at Avsim,
that Bill Leaning has released an XML War Emergency Power guage.

I would be enthusiastic if I knew what it was actually for. What it does.
You're a smart fella, JayDub....fill us in, mate.

In Combat Flight sim a number of the prop fighters have what is
called, "War Emergency Power". It's in essence, over boosting the
engines and can only be used for just so long, but there is nothing to
tell you how much you have used or how much is left before it is no
longer available. I would assume Bill has developed a gauge for this
in either minutes, percent, or both.

Kind of a handy thing to have.

Hi Roger!
I see you're still keeping busy.
1023 hours on the Glasair III. You know things are starting to come
together when bricks are used as tools.

Well that WEP sure sounds like a handy little gadget to have when the going
gets tough. Sort of like Direct Port Injection. Or same thing?

Hi Studmuffin,

It was a physical throttle gate on many Spitfires, and other WWII
planes, that let you REALLY tax the engine.

Different methods were used, for different engines, to implement it.

On the Spitfires, you had 5 minutes, and even then, the mechanics hated
it due to the extra work they had to do to return that plane to the air
ASAP.

It was noted if you had used it.

There is a freely available guage that indicates WEP Engaged, or
otherwise, and elapsed time....

Maybe you could use one in the Jeep?? )

Ahhh hell....all these years I thought the Spits had natural speed.
Spin, roll, dive, pull up, roll and do it all again. I always thought that
was how it was done. Well gee whiz....

Naaah...the slower the better.
Those 190 horses do things just right, thank you.

Nice.... But I haven't figured out how to get out from under the bomb
shelter yet.

Hi Marcel,

I'll have to do some research, and see if I can find out who Steve
Harris is/was.

Thanks for the Link.

No need, mate.

Steve Harris is the bassplayer for Iron Maiden. He writes all their lyrics.
