Ran for almost an hour. In game time (tod) was from 09.00 to 23.00.
I checked Oil temp and CHT. No change what so ever at anytime during the test.
A bit funny is that all temps showed different - oiltemp port 17, oiltemp starbord 14, CHT port 10 and CHT starbord 12.

I see this as an indication that there's no atmosphere model at all except for clouds.
Good idea,but it could also be a programming error where the temps only change with a running engine. Given the way we have to close rad flaps with altitude there must be an atmospheric temp model.
