Default Hurricane Water Radiator Perforated Solved.

I started the campaign in the Hurricane.

With CEM and Temperature Effects enabled, I was getting into the air, but then even before putting away my flaps, the coolant temp was over the max. Then Water Radiator Perforated! followed by an Oil Gasket! and then oil on the windscreen and EFATO.

For start up I had:

Fuel Cock - Main
Magnetos: Both On
Throttle: Cracked (10%)
Pitch: Full
Mix: Cracked (even less than throttle)
Radiator lever: Raised.
Key I to start engine.

The vets have picked it already - here's the fail:
In the Hurricane - the Radiator is full open when pushed to the floor of the cockpit.

Since I discovered THAT little secret- my temps have been managable even in combat.

Happy flying nuggets!

All the best,
- Dave Decay
