Complex Engine Management - need some guidance

[BadAim]

DT has made it so you have to fly more realistically, more like these planes that are simulated were flown in real life. Pilots in WWII did not fly around at max power and max speed all the time, their aircraft were life to them, and they treated them well (at least the ones who survived did).

The first three posts have a lot of useful information. You really have to spend some time with these planes though, to get the most out of them.

Remember that these aircraft that we make believe we're flying were the bleeding edge of technology in their time, and they were flown (for the most part) by highly trained technicians who quite often died trying to master their craft. (some of these planes killed their own pilots at an alarming rate)

As it gets more realistic, we simply have to work harder.
