4.11 General debugging

[broadmarsh]

Overheat bug?

1. Flying Spitfire LF IXE CW 1944. The engine will overheat at anything over 73%. This is with 50% fuel and 500lb bomb.

Bomb delay bug.

2. With same configuration, I found the bomb delay does not stick on 2nd selection when jumping in and out of the arming screen.

a. Set it on 5 seconds or whatever you like in the Arming Screen and select Apply and Fly.

b. Then Refly, Arming screen and it is still at 5 seconds.

c. Select Refly and Arming and it is back at 0.0 seconds.

This has been tested on Warbirds of Prey Test Server 4.11. Set up today by RAF238thWildWillie

I was flying a test mission on WoP and was setting in the first instance a delay of 3 seconds and flying to the ground target and blowing up as soon as the bomb hit the ground and found on refly that when I went to the Arming screen it was back at 0.0 seconds. So in effect when I took off on a mission (after setting 3 seconds and apply) to bomb there was no delay. I did this 5 times! Perhaps 2 bugs!

For the Spitfire... I did a lot of flying around on Bessarabia and Crimea and while keeping the engine in the 70-80 range for cruise is best, you should be able to go higher for short periods of time similar to most other fighters. I can't say that I flew the IXe specifically.

What map was this on? Temperature discussions are definitely impacted by the map being flown on as the ambient temperature has quite an impact.

There has never ever been an overheat problem of such magnitude as this on any Spitfire on any previous releases. One would expect to fly at 90 to 95% all the time on ETO missions and stay within the normal temperature envelope. In fact on this mission I had to throttle back to 50% to get rid of the warning. This is a bug or poor implementation. Take your pick.

Yes I understand the map being flown impacts temperatures considerably. I have been doing this for some considerable time and I have first hand experience in Real Life of engine testing.

It is Normandy1.

Perhaps I could give you the server address and load the mission for you to try? Send me a PM?
