Horseback, thanks for the effort you've put into this thread and my apologies for hijacking it somewhat. Your suggestion regarding 109 radiators is noted and I'll give it a go. In RL according to Finnish 109 pilots. the effect on speed was pretty minimal to the point of not being noticed, whether rads were open or closed. If 109G6's ever get an fm makeover perhaps this'll get fixed as well.
There was a very early mod from the AAA days which did up the torque effects for the 109, how accurate it was I couldn't say, but slamming the throttle to the wall at take off wasn't wise as it did have a gap where the rudder was non resposive and if the tail was lifted too early it got a bit tense!
