With newest patch I too have the impression that the spitfire overheats faster, even with full radiator open.

I am also a bit confused with the mixture handling. How does it affect the performance and the overheating?

Anyhow I do not seem to be able to get the Spitfire fast when at altitude without cooking the engine.

I do not know how I can get maximum performance without overheating it. However it seems that the Spit overheats a little less at sea level but at altitude it starts to boil quickly. Somebody can give me advice on it?

I also think that when flying faster the cooling effect should be better. So with same power settings (boost, rpm) I should cool my engine when diving.

I also seem that the Spit 1a_100 seems to overheat quickly in short! dives. I frequently cook the engine when I run her at 2600 rpm full boost (but no boost cut out) after a short dive. This is strange. Due to constant speed propeller rpm should not increase for too long beyond 2600 rpm at 6 lbs boost which is a setting for which one can run the spit 1a_100oct quite safely without overheating her. When I do some extended loops at about 10 kft I always overheat her. This seems not normal. Not for a constant speed prop plane where overreving should be not a big issue. Radiator's always full open btw.
