The Hornet used Merlin 130/131 engines which did not use a float carb, yet in game it seems to have the most sensitive engine to negative G’s I’ve ever seen. Even just gently pushing down on the stick to counteract the change in trim at different speeds is enough to cut the engines out.
“In contrast, the Merlin 130 used a Rolls-Royce-S.U. variable-stroke fuel injection pump . This system injected fuel directly through a single nozzle into the eye of the supercharger impeller, representing a more sophisticated form of fuel injection compared to the carburettor used on the Merlin 66. This change was part of the optimization for the de Havilland Hornet, which required high performance and reliability.”
Here’s a manual that explains the Merlin 130’s fuel feed system and mentions the fuel injection pump.
I can’t find a single source that says the Merlin 130 had a typical float carburettor or that it suffered from negative G cut out, the system used is similar to that on the Griffon which also didn’t have negative G cut out.
If this could be fixed it’d be superb.
