4.11 and Engine Overheat

Nobody it was only example for nominal power without WEP/incrased emergency systems.

For example RL Spitfire MK IX at nominal power +12 lbs 2850 RPMs could run 1 hour according to manual.

In game SPitfire MK IX at nominal power ( 99% power - 12lbs, 90% prop pitch - 2850 RPM) after few minutes overheat.

I dont test other planes too much but example LA5FN at 100% power and 100% prop pitch (without Forzah) and radiator 6 could fly all day without overheating.

Some wrote about P-40 and overheting issue.

It looks that something is not correct but surly before 4.11 it wasnt ideal too.

I wonder also why still some planes have still WEP/Emergency Power activated by button? Example some Spitfire have WEP activated above 100% power but some earlier model have still WEP actiavated by button even below 100% power. It seemed unrealistic at all if you could turn ON emergency power below nominal power ( below 100%) - it should be only possible with planes with methanol like 109 with MW50.
