noob 109 question

[finchOU]

Every time I quick start into a 109....I never seem to have to worry about overheating and engine.....but every time I start the 109 on deck...I usually end up craping the DB motor early on in the flight.

I've just started a new add on campaign ...but can't get anywhere due to these issues. So a couple of questions...

Auto Pitch on E-4... how exactly do you get it work? turn it off...play with it..then turn it back on??

Engine Water/Oil temp....they both seem fine (aka not pegged) when my engine quits... tho any time I seem to play with the radiator I end of destroying the engine as well.

Airspeed....it seems to me that I'm "stuck" below 300 km/h and RPM seems to be Stuck around 2000 rpms.

It's extremely frustrating to say the least....when "start in the air" missions seem to work just fine. Makes me think that i'm completely missing something critical from start up to climb out.

So basically ...is there a tutorial on this site for basic engine management for all phases of flight on this website? (the manual kind of sucks).
