I know your point, but without more information on the internal system, who's to say CEM being off is wrong?

Agreed here, if IL2 programming is in line with CEM being the best tuned outcome performance wise, it's actually 'better' to test this way as you're getting the best result possible with all factors perfectly tuned. CEM may just be a simple 'disabling' of the inherent automatic controls, that's my feeling. There seems no point in making Auto CEM performance any different to manual CEM.

My preferred way to test the 'best performance curve' is away from any influence from poor pilot manual CEM and/or engine DM/heat effects.

Of course drag items like cooling flaps would need to be set as per the data you are using.

Wish we could be 'told' how this Auto/Manual CEM functions, that would define it for testing.
