What we should expect from the next patched Blenheim engine model

[Sutts]

Realistic coolant and oil temp is a subject close to my heart. I'm hoping for big improvements in this area as the sim progresses.

The Spit suffers from similar problems. The real manual states:

"The radiator flap regulates the flow of air through the radiator, but cannot be fully closed"

"The radiator flap can usually be kept in the closed position during cruising flight"

"ACTIONS AFTER TAKE-OFF: Close the radiator shutter (unless a high power climb is done, when the lever should be a little forward)"

Closing the radiator flap like this is a bit of a no-no at the moment as the temps surge. I wonder if the flap in CloD is modelled as fully closed whereas as stated above this was physically impossible in reality? Could be the same problem with the Blenheim cowl flaps?

For the full CEM experience I think we need the following factors to be considered:

altitude (colder air at altitude = cooler)
airspeed (more air through radiator = cooler)
radiator obstructions (like lowered landing gear leg on spit)
mixture (richer mixture = cooler)
boost (lower boost = cooler)
rpm (lower rpm = cooler) WE HAVE THIS ONE
