4.11 overheat and engine damage test results

[WhistlinggDeath]

As to the rest of you (or the majority), it reminds me of debating an ardent Democrat or Republican here in the States. You strike them down on one topic or prove how silly it is, and they change topic and attack from a different direction. Your need for an exact reproducible experiment is something I strongly support (I am a university educated engineer in real life, and I cherish the scientific method above almost all else except for good sex or great surf). And I have done so, twice now. And under very easy to reproduce conditions.

Dont wanna listen to me cause you cant see past your personal animosity because I blow up people online without being apologetic about it.

That's cool.

As I said, there are like 150 guys a week flying online at any of the decent servers. The online portion of the game is all but dead. I will fly 4.10.1 on my own rig and use the 185 M-71 when I visit the clownwagon contests that are predominately left today (and using 4.11).

Planes with brand new engines did not in WWII come out of a dive and then overheat on boost in one climb.

Period.

No how. No way.

The interview with Capt Holcomb, will be put up at Mission4Today.com in a few days. If interested, make your way there and enjoy. His comments about so many things that deal nothing with P51 engine performance are entertaining in their own right.

End of this thread for me. Good luck Team D, however you decide to guide future patches. S! Gents.

Online game is not dead at all, its just most people who do fly, don't fly on airquake servers that you seem to think is all il2 is.

Most will instead like myself fly with there squad and do historical stuff instead.

I can't think of anything more dull than going on a airquake sever, and yes just cause its locked pit and no icons etc, its still airquake, if your just racing around in la7's fw 190d9's spit25lbs etc.... Yawn.....

Currently i'm flying in a internal online squad event set in N.Africa 1940 flying Gladiators and bleinhems vs the other half flying cr42's and sm79's. Guess you've never even been in any of those planes since there not late war uber planes, oh expert.

Wonder what the good Captain said when WD told him he nosed over his p51 into a dive at full throttle plus WEP? The sound of silence or laughter must have been something to behold. Some of our experten are gonna have to learn to fly, at last.

If you really are an 'university-educated engineer', then you should know that you have to back up each and every claim with hard facts. Also, academics strive to stay as objective as possible. Bending reality in order to stay superior in one's own favourite mount doesn't fit the picture in a way.
Looking forward to that interview, too

Hey that's entirely a personal thing, dude. Your love life is none of our business.

This is one video I am not interested in looking at.......and this is going to be a legendary quote for many years in the IL2 community and will be echoed as much or more than "slider on a stick"....

Final comment then:

I am quite unliked (usually) online for being one hard charging aggressive person, and I think that has turned off many who cannot see past that dominating (but artificial) facade I use online to the deeper mechanics of possible flaws in 4.11. Hence, I represent an obstacle to deeper debate from the many aerospace engineers who dwell here, so I will leave you to it. Many of you seem to love 4.11 and feel it represents your version of what you wish IL2 to be (or become). As no one (including the members of the development team or IL2 original programmers) is a certified WWII warbird pilot with time in unrestored warbird frames, the rest boils down to a particular interpretation of historical data. And that is just it, ... it is an interpretation. Many seem to voice strongly for the 4.11 interpretation. I dont agree with ya, but I am happy to remain in the minority and continue using 4.10.1 for online use for our lab server. For those that enjoy 4.11 greatly, more power to you then, and I wish you guys well as you continue flying with the new patch you clearly enjoy. S! Gents

You're disliked for being boastful, arrogant, and FULL OF YOURSELF. Most people around here appreciate an aggressive pilot, and most will overlook any number of character flaws in someone who has something to say, but we've seen nothing but mental masturbation from you here, buddy.

As the old saying goes, "it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it."

Well, I certainly am not the most active poster here in this forum, rather a silent reader. and maybe in a few days I'll wish I hadn't posted this.
But I have an honest question to you, WD, no offence intended.

University's offsprings are a broad variety of engineers.
The fact you presumably know quite well to read and handle source code lets me think software engineer.
The way you judge others and yourself here makes me think, maybe rather social engineer.
What kind of engineer are you and maybe you even reveal what your major was ?

As said, it's an honest question and I think many are interested in the answer.
Please clarify.
