What Bliss said, plus another raid with 3 Ju88s and an escort of 2 109s and a 110, nobody crashed.
As for the Blen, its engines now handle in a much more believable fashion and it's a breeze to fly. I momentarily disconnected from ATAG to try a quick mission with it last night.
For some reason it still spawns with rudder trim dialed in, which i forgot to correct, but even so i could take off just fine. If you remember, it used to veer to the right quite heavily pre-patch. It would be impossible to hold it straight with right trim dialed in, but post-patch i could just hold it straight with the rudder and as soon as i realized about the trim, i centered it and all was fine.
Most importantly, that was all on the stock, formerly almost impossible, cross country quick mission. Warm up happens much faster and the engines can deliver power without sputtering from as low a temp as 150 degrees or so, plus we now have partial flap settings (the lever has up, down and neutral positions) and the pitch and mixture levers correctly correspond to 2-way switches (no axis effect, just fine/coarse pitch and automatic rich/lean mixture).
Try it and you'll see for yourself. You just start the engines (mixture rich and prop pitch fine), trim for takeoff, give it 4-5 notches of flap, open cowl flaps, set boost cut-out to on and gradually advance throttles to maximum.
I managed to take-off just fine in the cross country mission with 100% fuel and a full bomb load. Happy times ahead
