Stuka keeps blowing up

Fully open at 4.5km, and above the engine starts to weaken.
The Stuka's supercharger have to switch manually. But no matter where it is, the pressure will fluctuate depending of the altitude (if you dont adjust the throttle - of course).
The lever animation is reversed in the game, its true, but the function is OK.

I never spoke about a barometric automatic variable supercharger control like in the DB 601 engine!
I just said , the ingame Ju 87 has a automatic SHIFTING between its low blower gear and its highblower gear.
If you set the cockpit handle at "Bodenlader" (supercharger 100%), it will shift automaticly at around 2500m........

Ah yes. Thats the problem. The logic of these indicators is great, but not obvious at first.
If your hand on the throttle, you feel were is it, so the program show you were is the throttle (should not look down). The problem is, if the lever, switch or button position dont show the exact value. Then you see the icon in middle position. If you open or close, it shows the moving direction, but dont show the exact value. The same is the 109 water radiator, prop pitch.

The other thing you should know that some controls must be operated continuously. Therefore, you must hold the button during the whole process. For example, the 109 flap, radiators, manual PP, or Ju-88 bomb bay dors...

So, in the Stuka, you have to press the water rad button until the gauges do not show it to open (AUF)

Ok. I didn't know this.

I basically got it now but I have to keep my figure down on the key that opens the radiator otherwise it boils over. Then when I get up some speed I seem to be able to switch to automatic. But that radiator only opens half way now matter how long I press it. I have to keep my figure on the key to keep it open all the way

Look at the screen shot.


You have to press the button (green), or the assigned key, until the the gauge with the "K" (red) shows "AUF", like in the screen shot. Then the water radiator is fully opened.

Ok finally got it. It doesnt work until the engines running.

Yes, have a look at the first answer in this thread.
