And also the La-7 - if you look at your chart.
So whats unique on these three planes - contrary to the others? ;)

Nice testing, BTW!

So that confirms that radial engines are more resistant to overheating?

At least they have a bonus in cooling.

I'd rather put it like better ventilated and therefor less prone to overheating.

The KG adjusted (beside other things) the revs by pitching the prop and so prevented from overrev.

I've edited my first post: it now includes some inflight overheat data at 260kph IAS.

Then the TA152 C is bugged, it overrevs in a dive ~2900rpm, independent from engine temp.

The H1 seems to be ok.

Would you please add the other aircrafts in the ground test into the climbing test?

It looks as if those Russian UFO fliers gotta love their monster rides more than ever.

Relax m8, the tests clearly show that only the I-185 overheats a bit late inflight, whereas all other planes behave quite similarly. I see no reason to worry. Congrats TD on a great job!

Where's the difference? The engine still can not last over 5 minutes even during level flight.
Did you look at the track I sent you?

3. Exactly because of their rather rough nature they are more rugged.

Sorry, but I can't see your logic here.

Think AK-47. ;) Lower tolerances means parts can actually expand a bit with the heat before they start rubbing together in a bad way.

Thanks PapaFly, for the test.

I did. But I could not reproduce it in my game, not even once.

I don't think it is wise to compare an expensive and complicated aircraft engine system to a bargain light weapon.
