But if I back off to 90% pitch on a Corsair and run it at 80% cruise and 80-100 combat on need (with brief times at 110% WEP) it's no issues. But it sounds like you can't even get off the ground properly without an overheat.

I honestly think its something wrong with your install. If there is a mod pack mixed up in here then maybe that's it. Still might be valuable to see.

OK well that's the sort of info/advice I'm after.

Basically what I need is a crib sheet set out something like this -

Plane name: F4U-1D 1944
Cruise settings -
Throttle: 80%
Prop Pitch: 90%
Mix: ?
Radiator position: ?

That way I can use the same settings as someone who can fly without problems and see what happens.

Shortly I'll make tracks with the Mosquito on Normandy, and the Corsair on Midway and see what happens with a clean install. As I've said though clean or modded I seem to get the same results.

Yes.
