If top speed isn't needed and map temperature is high enough (i.e., not Winter Finland or Moscow map) have them open radiators partially or fully. When diving or turning, have them throttle back and open radiators with some chance of error based on percentages suggested for engine management. When engine overheats, have them reduce maximum power until engine cools to normal.

This phenomena also occurs with player controlled planes as well when using autopilot.
