Oil temperature and other things that might kill your engine.

[reflected]

been flying around at full switch.
I can fly the 109 OK, without killing the engine.
However, no matter how carefully I keep the revs, the boost and tthe temperatures within limitations, Merlin engines die on me eventually. something is broken, it can't be that much harder?

Rad: below 120
oil: around 91 all the time
revs: 2850 for combat and climb, otherwise 2600-2400
Boost: +4, max boost in combat for short periods

What? Why?

sometimes I lose power, sometimes I get oil on the screen...if real planes were such bitches the Luftwaffe wouldn't have had to try that hard to beat the RAF...
