With temp effects on I got 270mph with +11 boost, 3000rpm.

With temp effects off I got 290mph with +11 boost, 3000rpm.

No extra effort or duration of flight was necessary, the Spit was just faster with temp effects off.

The first screenshot is temp effects off, the second temp effects on.

CEM was on in both cases.

Interesting.
I will check the 109, because the overheating causes deadly performance loss in the 109 too, the difference, that the full open water radiator can handle the engine heat. (It is not correct either, i think, it will be change soon. With the radiator air drag.)

Tom, the tests were run from a dive and I waited for the aircraft to slow to a constant speed. There was no overheating when temp effects were on, as of course there weren't with temp effects off. The loss of speed wasn't due to overheating being the cause of a power loss. Temps were normal but rising fast. The Spit had already slowed down to 270 well before 120 degrees on the rad temp, or over 95 on the oil, in fact on the second screenshot, you can see that the rad temp is about 110......
