Salute

Bugs noticed:

1. Hurricanes will not start, after 5 minutes of trying I quit.
2. Hurricane engine flames visible inside the cockpit when trying to start.
3. Spitfires and Hurricane cannot sustain RPM's and boost levels which were historically allowable, the engines overheat and destroy themselves at RPM's over 2650 when higher boost levels are used. According to the actual manuals, a rpm of 2850 and +9 boost could be used for continuous climbing for 30 minutes with 100 octane fuel versions of the Merlin, and 3000 rpm and +9 boost could be used for 5 minutes in level flight, with +7 boost and 2650 rpm for unlimited continuous cruising.

Allowable oil temperatures were 98 degrees at +9/3000 rpm for 5 minutes.





Because of overheating and damage, Hurricanes and Spitfires cannot achieve historical speeds and climbs.

5. Ship and ground object dots can be seen through clouds.
6. Spitfire engine cutout when flying through clouds and for 5 minutes did not run properly.
