Historically a lot of these limits were not strictly set because of blowing a motor, or overheating ie. within 1 or 5 mins. Most of the time engine life was also a serious consideration factored into these time limits. So, if you could track a CoD pilots time in the air, in all his flights in that plane type, over how ever long he survives in that plane, then you could really trigger a 'realistic' blown engine from the 'consistent' over use of WEP. IMHO the direct link to heating would be a good/simple way to enforce the time limits short of anything better, but it's not strictly realistic..... On a side note the below may be of interest on this topic of over boost: Allisons in P40s were very resilient to over use and abuse of over boost, RAAF pilots did it routinely and they did not seem to suffer from this practice. See the below document: http://www.raafwarbirds.org.au/targe...39%20abuse.pdf Those interested in P40 Data may be interested in my online collection here. http://www.raafwarbirds.org.au/targe...40_archive.htm Last edited by Peril; 05-01-2011 at 09:33 PM. |
