Blenheim IV

[|450|Devil]

Lets be honest. The in-game Blenheim IV is poorly modeled in regards to its real life engine management parameters. Unfortunately this deficiency takes away much of the enjoyment that would be there if the developers had bothered to consult the RAF Blenheim IV pilot notes which are readily obtainable from a number of sources over the internet.

Ok, so here is where I was having the trouble.

The Blenheim has a 2 stage prop pitch AND a governor all in the same control. I found keeping the prop pitch below 60% worked. I think my prop pitch was around 30 % while cruising.

Oil temps should be around 40-50

The temp that does matter is the (air?) temp on the right which should never exceed 250

I was able to both overcool and overheat my engine without loosing it (as long as I throttled back and managed my radiator to return to optimal engine temps.)
