There has never ever been an overheat problem of such magnitude as this on any Spitfire on any previous releases. One would expect to fly at 90 to 95% all the time on ETO missions and stay within the normal temperature envelope. In fact on this mission I had to throttle back to 50% to get rid of the warning. This is a bug or poor implementation. Take your pick.

Yes I understand the map being flown impacts temperatures considerably. I have been doing this for some considerable time and I have first hand experience in Real Life of engine testing.

It is Normandy1.

Perhaps I could give you the server address and load the mission for you to try? Send me a PM?
