To repeat again: Please, TD, don't fall for 'loud' forum post(er)s!

Yup, +1 to that.
If you want TD to change anything, speak softly, and carry a big pile of evidence to back up your claims. And don't claim you know the 'right' answers - in a lot of cases, nobody does. There was a war on. Nobody had the opportunity to conduct the sort of tests that would be required to settle many of the arguments I've seen on forums anyway. How long can you run a Fw 190 A-6 (or whatever) in a full-throttle slow climb before the engine fails? Why would anyone want to know? Common sense says that you watch the instruments etc, and try to ensure it
doesn't fail - failures
aren't predictable to the extent that you should assume there is a 'safe limit', especially if you don't know the past history of the engine or airframe, or indeed whether your instruments are properly calibrated - trying to fly a plane right to the limits that the sim imposes on it is anything but realistic.
