Thank you Snapper for sharing! Did anyone try the same in a 100 octane Hurricane yet ?

Regards

No problem Reaper, that Snapper bloke's got such a loud mouth, you'd think he was all of ATAG put together.

Hope you've had chance to give it a try.

Salute

Kudos to the OP for the effort he has put in to maximize performance from the Spitfire, he should get every credit.

Unfortunately, the fact is, this still does not change anything in regards to the complete failure of the game to properly model both the Hurricane and Spitfire.

The Spitfire 1A 100 octane is still 44 mph too slow, and climbs much worse than the actual aircraft.



It was capable of running for 5 minutes at +12/3000 rpm, and considerably longer at lower rpms, something which it is incapable of now.

[

The Hurricane has the same problems, too slow, climbs poorly compared with historical, and overheats much too soon at lower rpms.

Hi Buzzsaw,

I wasn't intending to say 'look folks, everything is wonderful!' by posting this vid, just intending to show all of the people currently having overheating and energy retention problems in the current patch that there is a 'workaround' in order to play the game as it currently stands, with a better chance of matching the 109s with these settings as a basic guide.

The 50% rad setting works for all the RAF a/c currently modelled in the game.

I think by now, most people know that there are errors in all the FMs, both RAF and LW/RA. There are many threads to this effect in the FM/DM section.

This thread was intended to be about getting the best out of the game currently, but thanks for posting the data.

And no criticism intended of your good work. The issue is the game, not attempts by experienced players to get the best out of a given aircraft.

Much appreciated; at least for now this is a reasonable work around and my computer room no longer smells of fried Merlin and Spitfire/Hurricane chips. BTW are you that Brylcreem guy?
