The only way I've found to keep the engines running while airborne is fly as follows:

-Full Boost +5 (full throttle) to heep Oil Temp at least 40 C. Anything less than full boost and oil temps fall to below 40 and things die.

-Full coarse pitch: To keep rad temp below 230 C I need to keep RPM's low to 1600 etc, otherwise rad overheats.

-Cowl flaps full open: to keep rad temp below 230 C.

Mixture full lean seems to have no effect, mind you I haven't been higher than 6000 ft.

I've tried running with 60-70% throttle but then boost is too low and oil temp dies off.

What am I doing wrong here? Nothing I've tried other than the above can keep the big bird in the sky. Is it somewhat broken? I don't want to turn off CEM or disable engine temp management.
