One last question, however. Is it me or does the 4.11.1 patch seem to enhance overheating?

Yes, in addition to what Aviar has posted from the 4.11 readme my suggestion would be to do the following:
- Cruise at 70-80% throttle.
- Keep radiators at least partially open to maintain the engine at a reasonable level of cooling.
- Fully open the radiator during low speed dogfights or high angle climbs.
- Use the "prop pitch" control to lower RPM (this works on most fighters except the FW190, Bf109, and Spitfire IX... slightly different mechanisms there). I tend to run at 70% on during level cruise and anywhere between 70% and 100% during combat. I find 90-95% is a sweet spot with the most power for less heat.
