i know this is only a minor point, but i feel there is a bit of an innacuracy with the tempest. its nothing severe or game crippleing, more of a nuisance.
in game the oil is considered to be overheating at about 82 degrees and above.
in the tempest pilots notes, (air publication 2458c), section 3 'operating data'
you have a 1 hour climb limit at [3700 rpm, +7 boost, 125*C coolant, 90*C oil]
you also have a 5 minute WEP limit of 3700 rpm, +9 boost, 130*C coolant, 95*oil]
i would ask can the 'engine
verheat' message caused by an oil overheat switch on if you exceed the 90*C level?
i know its low priority but seeing that message for an hour gets tiresome, and can mask more severe problems. if anyone is willing to cross varify for me i would appreciate it. i included the engine limitations page as an attatchment.
on a slightly different point, for ultimate realism i think that the engine overheat and wep messages should be able to be turned off like the speed bar can be. does anyone else feel sadistic enough to want pilots to actually look at their gauges, or is it just me !
