Blenheim problems (CEM)
 
Anyone been able to coldstart, taxi and take off without breaking anything?
After I started engines, I let the oil get 30-40°, then I carefully try to taxi out to the runway.
Every time I break something in an engine before getting anywhere. Seems like engines start to break att 55° oil temp. Also seemingly random failures (exhaust outlet, governor failure, oil gasket...)
It is also a real pain to taxi, must use brakes a lot.

Would need an engine-off-to-gear-up tutorial of some sort...

On your right side, over your right shoulder there's the fuel valves. Above them are the cylinder temp gauges. Take off when they are about 200 degrees and NEVER exceed 250.
Trim the rudder to the left, as the plane spawns with the rudder trimmed fully right.

Hope this will get you started.

Also, the mixture is reversed (just like in the Spit and Hurri). Get the levers fully aft to set rich mixture before take-off, because lean mixture and high power is a recipe for overheat ;)

so if the digital info settings are saying 0% mixture its actually calculated as full rich mixture in the gameengine in these planes ?

the digital info "0% mixture" is mis-labled. It really means "lever all the way back", same as in the Hurricane.

Thanks. Didn't know about mix beeing reversed, might be why I break stuff, running too lean.

yep, they realy should work on it :D
in the G.50 and Moth as examples throttle (of you gamecontroler) full forward (100%) means "cockpit lever full back" too.
IMHO thats the the way it should work in all planes . YOUR Gamecontroler is giving the amount/direction and is showing the digital numbers. In whatever direction the 3D incockpit lever is moving.....
they can change this when it is possible to set controls for every plane itself !

I think that mixture don't make diference. I move all way and the engines don't show any change in rpm...

Try taking off on lean. You will see that you need some more power. Sliding to rich (or normal) is the way to get that power. You'll notice the difference there.

and that would be 0%, correct ?
you have to start the engines with 0% anyway :D
