I tried it on ATAG yesterday afternoon.

Took off from Hawkinge/Lympne and by the time I went feet wet, both engines were toast.

RPM/pressures/temps were all good.



Anyone have a copy of the real Blenheim IV pilot's manual?

I have a copy of the Blenheim IV manual from 1940 inbound.

As soon as I get the DL link and read the thing I will post a comparison with the procedures in game.

Hmm....

Acceleration is really slow on the ground, so the temptation is to give it more throttle, which tends to cause damage at low level. If temps and revs are as per the vid it's probably too much boost.

If you leave the throttle at +1 - +2 boost from the off and leave it there, you should be fine.

Or if you look at the throttle quadrant itself, go no further than the maximum cruise setting for take-off, don't go into the 'rated' section at all.

Then once you've gained some altitude and airspeed, you can slowly throttle up to +4 boost comfortably, but don't exceed +5 boost, which is max with 87 octane fuel. Can't remember where I read that, but it seems to work.
