Jafa.

My wheel brakes work fine, both in Luftwaffe and RAF aircraft. Did you try any other aircraft since the patch or just the Moth and the Stuka?
The reason i'm asking is that
a) seeing your latest mod preview video i suppose you were mostly flying these two
b) if i'm not mistaken, the real Moth didn't even have wheel brakes at all and
c) the Stuka was bugged and they didn't work in the sim
In other words, a string of coincidences where after the patch i happened to only fly the aircraft that have no brakes would be easy to confuse everyone into thinking that the patch bugged the brakes, that's why i'm asking if you have tested other types as well

The He-111P has DB engines similar to the ones on the 109/110, these come with automatic supercharger control. The levers in the cockpit are probably there due to using the same interior 3d model as the He-111H variant.
In other words the behavior is correct, it's the supercharger controls that are redundant.

Nevertheless, I did a couple of dogfights at full throttle, went easy on the throttle to cool down my oil temp (which had reached maximum), did a "touch and go" on the runway (it was then I realised that something must be wrong with the water cooling damage model) did one more dogfight, run out of ammo and landed.
Water temperature atall tmes, normal.
This makes me assume that the water cooling system damage is shown on the damage window, has however no effects to the cooling temperature (thus no engine overheating).
~S~
PS. Water cooling of Spit was always a bit of magic, since the IL2FB days... |
I had damaged radiators when flying 109s/110s in the past and they don't immediately come to a stop either. In one case i managed to finish the dogfight and then go back to France, the engine with the damaged radiator did seize but it was after i had almost crossed the entire channel.
I think that first the coolant has to sufficiently reduce in quantity (through a leak in the damaged radiator) before we get any damage. If you were flying closer to your base then maybe there was still some water in that radiator and that's why you didn't overheat.
