So why do you keep posting statistics regarding the number of hits you've made on target? Gunnery is a fascinating subject, and I for one am rubbish at it. You obviously think you're good at it, as you keep posting information on your gunnery efficiency.

Pot? Kettle? This has nothing to do with an obsession with numbers, it has to do with making the game playable for people on both sides.

Have you ever tested the drag effect of radiators in your favourite aeroplane?

If so, please enlighten the whole community with your findings.

Cheers, Slipball.

My Safe settings in Spit 1a 100 oct are;

Full Throttle/+11 Boost
Radiator 55%
Prop pitch 60%
Mixture 50%

Keep eye on Temps. If goes over 115 Deg Cel on water, drop throttle from 110% to 100% until returns to 110deg cel or lower.

Thx Again Dutch, really enjoyed testing tonight.

A couple of 109's were bricking it tonight watching me follow them in a climb n dive and hammer them before they ran off.

Long live the 1a 100 oct FM for NOW.

Yes thank you...I do it so that more will fly and get involved, instead of marveling at the tracers, and having poor results. They then blame the British guns with a multitude of complaint threads. Its the same with the fm and the over heating complaints = pilot error, cheers

Impressive Dutch. I've never tested the Spit MkIa 100 octane except for the quick and dirty stability test. I've always accepted others reports.

I also noticed it took 12 seconds of established inverted flight before the oil pressure dropped to the minimum 30 psi allowed for normal flight.

You didn't get on my nerves at all.

You're very welcome, Reaper. Pay no attention to Dutch. He simply does the hard work, the hypothesizing and testing, a few tedious reports and absolutely mind-numbing videos. I am here to collect the glory for Dutch's work well done.

Only level speed and climb:-

Predictably the engine burned quite quickly at 3000rpm/Max boost and barely lasted long enough to establish max speeds.

I do find 2550rpm a safe rpm for max boost without BCO in the Hurricane. There may be a time limit but I have used it for quite a long time but I don't think as long as half an hour. Also dropping to 2400 or less quickly cools it if needed. Not scientific but....

Good to know mate, thanks.

For info, all of the current RAF fighter models benefit from the 50% rad setting. Control temps with pitch and boost. If you go over 50% rad, the drag will kill you. Please try and verify this in the steed of your choice with your squad mates. Even 'Other Dutch' who crashed on take-off (sorry mate!)

All fighter aircraft that is. The Blen is still erm, shall we say 'disadvantaged' in this new patch.
