Default Bf 110 c ( 4 +7 )

1. As soon as IAS exceeds 500km/h the Bf110 goes wild on you..
Seems like she get mini wing stalls ( ie. you'll find first the 1 wing suddenly drops , once you correct that , the other wing suddenly drops ) , this continues until you decrease speed to less than 500km/h.
The first time this happened I though I might have lost some part of the tail ( the effect is very much like old IL-2 when the 110 loose a stabilizer due to excessive speed ) , except there was no noticeable damage.
2. Fuel gauge indicates empty tank during the entire flight to London

This was experienced with full realism (- head shake and anthropomorphic controls ) in a QMB flight.


Question:
Anyone know what the RPM limit on the 110 engines are ? 2300 or 2200
I destroyed my engines over London , Water temp 85C , Oil 65-75C, Alt was 6500-6700m ( struggled to get her higher ) , RPM I kept around 2200, then suddenly I had loss of power in both engines , no messages to indicate what I damaged , ( and no sound of grinding bearings like in old IL-2) , after a round a minute both engines shutdown on me.. Not the kind of thing I would like to happen over London..

Bf 110C has DB 601A engine. You can find its historical manual and limitations here:

Thanks , I'm downloading it now..

From that doucment it would appear that I might have exceeded the ATA of 1.15 for to long. I did not really look much at the ATA since it was always around 1 +- .1 and I thought max was 1.3 , well ( now we can only do 5 minutes on 1.3 )
I'll keep a more critical eye on it then..

#2- switch your fuel contents selector (mouse click below gauge) learn which gauge relates to which tank you select with fuel cock.

limits- easy way is to look at the dials- around outside of rpm and ata gauges are some markings: d= constant running, 30=30 min max, 1-2 =1-2 mins emergency settings. exceed these even slightly for more than a couple of secs and engine is likely to fail.
holding full boost for long is a good way to blow an engine

also try at a lower height(<5000m), things seem to get a bit tricky over 6000m
