More Blenheim mk IV problems:

CEM:

Mixture doesn't work at all. I tested it high and low and it's have no effect on temperature, exhaust gas, fuel consumption or anything. And whe you set the throttle to 0 no mather what mixture settings you have, it will exhaust black smoke. Also the lever works inversely like in the hurricane.

Prop pitch seems to be two stage in the 3D modell. (on 0 pitch input it turns right to a more featherd position, on anything else than 0 it turns left to its takeoff position. You can observe it when the engines are stoped) However, it have a full effect on rpm in different positions (not just two stages) as I measured:

Throttle 75 %
IAS 200-210 mhp
Height 8000ft
Radiator 100%
Carburetor heat 100%
Pitch % / RPM
100 / 2660
75 / 2520
50 / 2320
25 / 2120
0 / 1760

Carburetor heat seems to work inversely. In 100% you'll get less engine temperature then in 0%

Throttle 50 %
Pitch 75%
IAS: 150-160 mph
Height: 8000 ft
Radiator 100 %
Carburetor heat % / Engine temperature °C / RPM
100 / 201 / 2260
75 / 203 / 2290
50 / 208 / 2340
25 / 221 / 2380
0 / 233 / 2480

Also the carburetor heat controll lever labeld as "AIR INTAKE SHUTTER" (Don't really know how it suppose to work on this airplane)

Boost cut-out doesn't have any effect on engines at all.

Other:

Tailwheel is fixed about 30° to the right when you strat on the ground, making taxiing and straight takeoffs almost inpossible.

Can't fly missions with AI lead when you have to takeoff, because AI doesn't warm their engines, just start taxi or takeoff right away. Of course it is a general problem, but blenheim affected by it the most because of the long warmup procedure.

And a little request: Please make the toggle seat position for the bombardier work (sit beside the pilot in his chair). Would be nice in multiplayer to help with the trimms and navigation, and of course it would ease the multiplayer training aswell.
