if i'm not mistaken,
i recall Willy talking about this one a while back.
might have been over in the Multiplayer Events Forum.
but don't hold me to it.
 
The guys I fly online with (aka Flight 19), installed RE into the JBK DC-4 and flew around the the western US, Canada and Alaska. I've also installed it into the California Classics Curtiss C-46 Commando. The hard part we found was finding proper reference data about performance for it's use which we mostly got from period flight manuals.

Flying with it, you sure need to watch your MAP and RPM to keep the engines in one piece. I took off from a Canadian gold mining strip in a heavily loaded DC-4 and forgot about RE. I ended having to find a place to turn around between the mountain ridges as all four engines had fried and making an emergency landing back at the mine while trailing smoke behind me.

Also watch your speed while lowering gear and flaps. It will sometimes just damage on one flap and flying with one flap up and the other down could be quite interesting...

Other than that, it's quite fun and brings in a touch of realism. Think of it as "Poor Man's AccuSim".
 
I've used it a bit. "Poor man's AccuSim" is a good descriptive term. To use it properly you really need to have all the proper data to plug into the systems it controls. Once you have all the data in, you really need to mind your systems, otherwise you may find yourself with a serious in-flight problem.
 
It was sitting in my download folder for months, and I finally got round to installing it a week ago into my favourite bush plane, the Aerosoft Beaver. It's brilliant, accusim and FSX can suck it, lol. Once you actually manage to stare down the instructions and get all the parameters set, you realise what an underated and innovative mod, it is. I'm going to get it installed in all my Warbirds starting with the WOP B-17.
 
I installed it as soon as I downloaded it in the default Baron, really liked what it adds to the sim, and wanted to add it to all my props (doesn't work with jets obviously), between computer downtime, rebuilding and real life, never got near it.

Another gauge I like is one that seems to (and in the small time trying it) simulates icing better than the default, It's by Charles (Dutch) Owen and the gauge is called 'IceWarning.XML. Sorry forget where from and zip name. It's quite hairy when the ice warning comes on in a Piper and your only option is to try and find warmer air before you lose all your lift.
