The mixture management in 1946 is there, but very simplified. The oil radiator is not present in 1946. The water radiator ... ahemmmm - very questionable with the big red "engine overheat" message.

Ciao!
I did not said that CloD is limited to overheating. IIRC the Overheat! label in IL2 1946 is used to alert the pilot that something is wrong with the engine: sometimes it does not mean actually that the temperature is high.

Of course many planes are not correctly modelled (both original and modded ones) and I'm not stating that 1946 is better in the EM department... I think that simply it's not SO better to be called "Complex" (just like the graphic engine.. Clod is better looking of course, but 1946 is 10 years old... it's not difficult having new hardware and 3Gb VRAM).

As Tamat says: we need a SDK to test the accuracy of the models because for that I know in the code there can be many functions with many commented lines returning wrong/not precise results (since the sim has been released in alpha stage it's very probable).

If the debug SDKs could be provided to us then Luthier could have free help about FM/DM/CEM...
