a possible solution for overheating & low speed spitfire/hurricane in last Beta patch

[*Buzzsaw*]

Salute

Whether the OP was sincere or not, his suggestions are of no utility. Using them produces the same problems of lack of speed and climb. Any attempt to use +12 boost at 3000 rpm will destroy the engine almost immediately whether the rad is 100% open prior to takeoff or during flight. Any attempt to use the allowable continuous settings also results in short engine life.

So far the best suggestions put forward to maximize the engine life and speed of the British aircraft have been suggested by ATAG_Dutch, (ie. using max. 2650 rpm at 1/2 rad opening at full boost, and 2400 rpm and 1/2 rad for cruising) see thread on this board) but of course, while his suggestions do remove the problems of overheating and engine destruction, they still do not result in the British aircraft achieving their historical top speeds.
