I mostly fly the Mk1a online , and I have to admit im no expert

1 . Boost cut out, Its basically a "gate" that you open to activate extra boost available, as such its a once use option in the spit for some inexplicable reason you cant "close the gate after using it. Im sure in real life after being forced to overboost your engine afterwards you would "shut the gate" to avoid accidently overboosting your engine at some point later on.

2. Overheating, I have toasted engines usually by overreving them but it does seem more forgiving since later patches, I dont play the game much at present as I find the lack of attention to the Spit by the developers quite dispiriting.

3. and 4 . Who knows ?

5. The mix settings are totally bugged, previous to latest patch I couldnt get the spit to run on rich settings ! So I used lean at all times even on start up the engine revs picked up better on lean, This may have been fixed on latest patch I dont know all i do know is just run it on the mix it seems to like best. As for fuel economy who cares ? your not paying for it, but I have to agree it it does detract from the "sim" aspect of this game when you cant use or get punished for using your engine controls in the correct manner

Overall, I think the lack of attention to the RAF planes is ominous. As the Hurricane seems to be the best modelled RAF aircraft and this aircraft was supplied to the Russians in WWII, this plane along with the Luftwaffe aircraft would be the only ones carried over to a Russian front sequel, its only a gut feeling but then why ignore all the bugs in the RAF planes and not address any of the Spit issues in the last patch ?
