I find in the bf109 all you need to watch is your revs. I fly with radiators half open all the time and when chasing 3/4 closed.
Other than that I never worry about temps, you can fly full throttle all day long, which isn't realistic as it's bad for the engine, but I don't know if in real life that was a long term consequence or a short term one, so I don't know if it's modelled or not.
So yeah learn to keep an ear out for revs when not looking at the tachometer and that's about it.
It would be good if CEM forced people to fly at cruising speeds when cruising rather than at full pelt. This is more realistic and easier to catch people unaware.
