Brief description of the issue:
Even with full throttle Field Pressure cannot be reached in the retrofit Ju52, read line cannot remotely be ever reached.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Will do later, visible at takeoff here:

Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Start plane, throttle up.

Yes, it appears that the supercharger is not working. And that is clearly a bug because both the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp and the BMW 132 are supercharegd. Surprisingly the Ju 52 in MSFS is normally aspirated. And that is not correct.

On the real Ju 52 the take off power is 38" Hg and 2250 RPM:

In the sim on can’t reach more than 29"-30" Hg:

I hope it can be fixed in an upcoming update.

I really hope this major issue gets some attention. I know its not meant to be “study” level but at the very least I would hope the engine is the correct type (supercharged not normally aspirated!) and develops roughly the correct power level.
