Maximizing performance in Hurricane.

[Itkovian]

Salutations,

I've recently obtained CloD, along with the Wicks vs Dundas module from Desastersoft, and I've been having something of a bother trying to keep up with my squadron when flying formation while flying a Hurricane (with the 2-speed prop).

Basically, in those missions you fly as a section leader, and I have been trying to stay in formation, but invariably I find myself having to push my throttle to the max to keep up (and so overheat the engine). This is while the squadron is slowly climbing up to 10 000'

Now I assume this is a combination of Complex Engine Management settings and Trim, but I cannot find any guide on how to get the best out of my Hurricane and keep up with the AI without overheating the engine.

Generally, when trying to keep up I fly with prop pitch set to fine, radiator medium, mixture medium or rich (if I try lean, engine starts stuttering). The only way I can keep up is by pushing the engine, and that starts raising my oil and radiator temp too much (if I weren't trying to keep formation, I'd try and maintain 2400 RPM).

So anyway, some assistance on how to maximize my hurri's performance would be appreciated. I assume trim plays a major role, but cannot find a guide on it.

Thank you.
