Rads weren't open, i don't think, everything else was default. i don't think my engine was damaged ? no smoke etc.
I have noticed sometimes, if I start a mission and my Joystick accelerator is set at max / high then that appears to be the setting for standard engine revs, ie i can never push the engine any higher or to the extreme. I realise the Emil's Daimler was a low rever but I have the same problem with british planes.
I assumed if you push the accelerator to the max, you should hear the engine very loudly and about to explode ?? maybe that's just Italian planes ?
