radiators have no influence on speed

You can, but not with the naked eye! You would have to log the data, so you can take into account the variations of flight, because the fact of the mater is the speed vary as you fly due to you making small altitude changes.. That is to say YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF MAINTAIN A PERFECT ALTITUDE !!! But don't feel bad most cant! Thus the variations in speed due to altitude changes are on the order of 30-40kph. So, the 11kph falls within that range, thus you can not desern which is which unless you also plot altitude

yes but these constant 11kph is the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DB601 and DB605 engine!

Now I would like to know if someone has made tests:
Full throttle, optimal rpm

what are the durations before ruining the engines depending on rad setting.

100% open, 95%, 90% ...

Bingo!

And with that said providing a track file is the min requirement to be taken seriously..

And log the data as you fly and record that track file if you really want to do a good job!

In IL-2 you could replay the track file and extract and log the data at a later date..

But I don't think you can do that in CoD! I am pretty sure you have to log the data as you fly the mission!

Still as I noted the speed can varry by 30-40kph due to altitude changes.. Assuming you can hold it pretty steady, more if you cant! So your 50 would/could still be in the noise. The only way to tell is to log the speed and the altidue, than you can 'see' what is going on

well ace,if you have trimmed the plane,the 109 becomes really steady.you can fly for miles having the crosshair focused on the horizon without any further input,so the differences in altitudes and speed are only minor, therefore a difference of 30kph would be clearly noticeable.

Trust me.. your not the 1st one to 'think' that

Log your data and you will be amazed at how much the alt can varry on you

What speed did you actually reach in your test and at what altitude exactly?
