Now, I am no BF-109 expert, but be that as it may I don't think the E-4 had war emergency power. If it did, I would not be able to locate it. I know on the Spitfire MK.(Insert model # here) had a "clamp" that allowed the pilot to push the throttle further to give them that extra boost in power.
Now maybe I'm wanting TOO much realism in BF2. But hey, I like to get away from the "Real-World" of aviation as much as other pilots do and shoot people down without worrying about engine temp. and etcetera.
Ok, I apologize for what I said, it is not the magneto that causes the boost in the FH planes, it is the WEP, I unfortunetly thought that they were the same.... However, yes, WEP is shown in FH2.
Yes, I received this transmission from the moon as well...

the E-7 had one though... but the E-7 is a rubbish in the game iL-2.

But what should i do when i just sit in the plane and the engine is turned off?????
Can you turn off the engine in FH2? I thought it was always on, even when joystick/keyboard is at no throttle. If at all possible in BF2, shutting down the engine would be really great for tanks!!
*cought* sure i will correct this for sure.... Immedeadly. Aye Sir.

Ah then i correct the model again. Sounds like a Great plan, or?
No to stay with the truth. you can be glad to have such a detailed Cockpit that you can see the Magneto! /me rolleyes.
Well, I am just trying to mention some reasonable facts.
As for the model, I would say let the model show that the magnetos are both on at all times. I mean the engine CAN be turned off with the magnetos on. But it is VERY bad for the engine. This is battle-field 2 anyway
I just can't resist posting more! As cream cheese said its bad to shut off an airplane engine by cutting the ignition because the cylinders still pull in fuel...and this will foul the plugs or worse...it could explode in the intake or exhaust manifolds . Normal procedure dictates that the engine be killed by moving the mixture lever to "idle cut off"

Also if you turn off the mags before the engine quits when you cut the mixture, someone could easily bump the propeller and the engine may start again even with the mags off, which is NOT good
Reliability is paramount in an aviation engine and this is why they use magnetos. Magnetos are heavy and not very adjustable and they have been replaced in cars today by a battery and alternator. If you disconnect the battery of a modern car the engine will not run.
Actually the battery is only used to start the car. If you disconnect the battery whilst the engine is running it will still run using the alternator. Of course if power consumption exceeds the output capacity of the alternator then problems will arise eg lights, indicators, cd etc.
Military Aircraft like the Spitfire, Bf109 etc don't have internal batteries, they use one of three methods to start, external power (power cart), hand crank or starter cartridge. Batteries in that sense are dead weight in military aircraft, extra power can be gained via generators etc.
