Effect of boost control cutout prior to +12 psi boost modifications

[Kurfürst]

Pity it doesn't work as such in CoD... I mean temp goes up like mad in a moment if you set the radiator flaps too narrow, almost regardless of aircraft speed. :/

The list of bugs/questionable model behaviours is quite a long one... As has been mentioned earlier, at the moment the cooling behaviour is also far too forgiving on the ground; you can idle a Spitfire for ages without boiling the coolant...

Indeed it is far too forgiving on the ground. I just sat on the ground in a Spitfire Mk I idling at around 1200 RPM. If I left the radiator closed the temperature would slowly rise too 120 C, if I opened the radiator it would drop to 80 within seconds. It seems that the radiators have the exact same level of effectiveness regardless of airspeed or airflow.
