Rad settings on the 109E?

[Redroach]

There is an indicator for the water rads: the little stick on the right inner wing - it may not be easily viewable without 6dof Trackir, as it is normally 'shaded' by the cockpit wall. Though, oddly, it works contrary to what is described in the original emil pilot's notes (stick fully out: rads open in CoD).

Still, the rad slider indicator could just as well be working as it does in other planes, for a quick look.

Honestly in the game at the moment put oil and water rads at 50% and forget about them.

well i set them both at about 20-30% open and fly.i normally dont watch them again.i have good performance with the bf and no overheating whatsoever.the only situation when i adjust them again,is when im hit and see how the temps or pressure change.

hmm I have to cite myself on this because I'm further confused by that stick on the right wing: Looking a bit closer, I've found that the labeling on the stick is apparently historically correct. It states "ZU", meaning "closed", when fully extended (the stick), despite the rads seemingly working just the opposite way.
So it seems that they've done their historical homework by looking into the emil manual, but there's just another case of sloppy programming. Or maybe it's a translation error. An error nonetheless.

Hi redroach,

oh damn, I should have scrolled further down when searching for that issue.
at least my findings are confirmed!
