IMHO Trademe hit the same conclusion independently as us re CEM off. Then you, Dutch, refined it down further to simply just turning Engine Temperature Management off (but leaving CEM on) here:

Then began a lot of work over at ATAG, not without some heated debate, but everyone pitched in with a wide series of tests on both of our Servers. I note that some squad servers have arrived at similar conclusions of their own and are running with ETM off. Although LW fighters gain some performance as a result, the RAF fighters receive the greatest benefit by far. The top of the line fighters are, in engine performance, almost equal. The RAF fighters still experience neg g cutout, self-destruct above 420 mph IAS in a dive, but their top speed matches their LW counterparts at sea level. It is still possible to overheat in a RAF fighter, 109's can still boom & zoom, but if two opposing pilots of "equal ability" meet on a co-energy basis....it makes for a long and exciting encounter.

It should be noted, though, that the ATAG servers are all operating "Full Switch" as always, with Engine Temperature Effects turned on.

No problem I should have calcifided...collaguated...er...clarified that point. :cool:

Awesome, you guys are way ahead of me.

I would love to play with just temperature management off but CEM on. For now it would bring this game back to life!!! Would be good times for sure. I for one can live with temperature off for the time being if it brings all flight models into spec.

It would actually be fun to fly 109 again.

Ahhhh, the fifth horseman of the apocalypse!!
My sentiments exactly!

:lol:

Ok, signature amended here too. :D
