Look, Philli.
You didn't even know the difference between the two oil gauges in the cockpit, thinking the top gauge was an indicator for coolant temps. It didn't even occur to you that the numbers on the two oil temp gauges were identical, and that the numbers on the top gauge would have to be much higher than what's there to properly indicate readings for engine coolant at operating temperatures. Frankly, you didn't know what you were talking about, so you have no business telling anyone else how to "think logically", understand?
Just admit that you simply misread
and misidentified the gauge, and learned that the Engine Overheat HUD message is all but irrelevant, instead of continuing to argue for nothing.
This should be obvious, but simply running the K4 at full-throttle, boost on or off, until the radiator flaps open fully (
and you will see they do open fully in time) will make it plainly clear when the engine is beginning to run hot. Since there is no glycol temp gauge in the cockpit, this is the only cue you get to know if it's running hot. As previously stated, the Engine Overheat HUD message is overly conservative and unreliable (
it comes on too soon for ALL aircraft in the entire sim), has been so throughout the life of this game, and has been generally regarded as such by the community longer than you've been a member of this forum. So, ffs, turn off the HUD messages and use the gauges and other cues when flying Bf-109s (
like any simmer should already be doing), and let it go already!
