I did not test it with 4.09, so I can't confirm that.

I tried the misison on 4.11 + hotfix and 4.11.1 only. With both versions they crash into the hillside. I'm not sure if overheating has been fixed for jets yet when auto pilot is in control. The overheating warning appears too early I guess.

To check overheating and autopilot behavior, I did some other tests with other fighters as well (Do335-v13 and La7 from single mission section all with AP enabled) and they never seem to overheat. Not during take off and not while they fly their waypoints. In this mission La7 never overheats, and if it does then only during engaging enemy fighters and for a very short duration.

With the Do335 mission, it reached 550 IAS all along it's waypoints and an overheating warning message never appeared.

I can't assess if this is 'real' or not. I just find it weird that some planes, when flown by AP do not have any overheating issues, while some others have them so quickly.

Rgs,
