Default Complex Engine Management & planes limits

Hello,

I expect that through time, each single aircraft will start to have very good filght model & engine model.
In numerous airplanes, we have many gauges available, however it is not so easy to know which limits not to exceed to run the engine safely e.g. when to turn compressor on/off and how to set mixture up depending upon altitude, RPM limit, how much time allowable above certain RPM.

In other words, thanks to the packaging, we have a good Sptfire manual available with the game. But for other planes, will we have any documentation ? How do other people do ? Is there some good documentation about that on the web ?

I'd like to have a documentation of quality available with this game for each plane in the technical matter. Would that ever be possible ?

Regards

J.-F.

First of all I'm not sure all of them are available in english, for exmaple the HE-111 you mentionned in your post.

Of course it will be possible to learn through time, I'm posting that to know if the technical documentation will be available through the game. It may not however.

There is soooo much documentation lacking for this game. We really should not have to find it from outside sources. Simulators should come with the info needed to master them, or at least explain the basics.

I really hope documentation will arrive in patches soon.

if you are resistant to learn for yourself (not that I think that anyone would read a 500+ pages manual anyway), why don't you fly with CEM off then?

You would need over 200 manuals for IL2 1946.

I am not, I just keep burning the engines before I figure out what's happening, not a convenient way to learn.

I don't mean a full manual, key figures should be enough. It's like they are implemented but not documented.

I honetsly think it's not too much to ask for such.

Of course not realisctic, just engine limits shall be enough.

I just discovered that Bleinheim IV mixture needs to be decreased progressivingly when getting alt but then the engine burnt for an unknown reason (oil & air rads fully open) ?

Just an example.

I don't know weather is it like by all of you guys or not but I love the wing design for complex engine planes. Wing design in Flight cycle limits is always my first attraction.

One more thing for Redroach, leaning is process of success that is never ever stop. We just need to open our self for learning every moment. You are so right we don't have to resist our self for learning.

Great post. My best read since long on this Forum (including my own post ) - Thx BlkDg

As there is no warm air being vented in the 'pit I wld suggest to open the side windows once out of cloud.
