4.11 overheat and engine damage test results

[swiss]

rad is closed too.

I think all the guys complaining here just need to do some reading on how to implement tactics in this simulator and find a person to form up a team. One thing is for sure: the lone wolf era is gone!!

[WhistlinggDeath]

I'm going back to bed Swiss, but you dont need the rad open for only one dive. Set PP to manual and then to zero ?!!! ? Wth ?

No TA 152 ever overheated a brand new engine in 15 seconds !!!

What this amounts to is plane and simple (lets put all the little distractions to the side),

THE OVERHEAT MODEL IS MESSED UP, ..... BADLY.

Did you just smash your keyboard? How old are you lol

If you don't like the patch, don't install it. If you are trying to get something improved, be reasonable

[Snake]

WD, you didn't answer two questions: what's your nickname on grijdedicado and where is your WD famous server?

[WhistlinggDeath]

Baato, - Okay, just to for your sake, I will again ask nicely then;

Kindly, dear sirs, what 'engineer' (s) made this patch ?

Snake - My server is up from roughly 7 PM to 12 AM PST (Pacific Time -US), Monday thru Friday and sometimes weekends. It is not famous and many dont like it because it is full real, some very hard opponents and most people get their azz shot clean off when they show up (and that includes me as well ). My callsign on Grij is of course WhistlinggDeath, and some special ones I use when I am testing something out.

More folks will likely follow with their historical manuals in tow, but for me, it is bed time gents. GN

WD does have a point. MW50 should be able to be running for 10 minutes continuously. After that the engine should rest for at least 5 minutes to prevent potential damage. Then the MW50 can be engaged for another 10 minutes.

All aircrafts equipped with MW50 have the same overheating problem as the TA.

ok, sorry, i didnt realise that the manual is actually wrong. it seems that in the aircraft guide the coolant and oil temperature gauges are labeled back to front. the left gauge is actually coolant, not oil...sorry!

once i realised that it was the coolant overheating rather than oil, i opened the radiator and backed off on power.

whoops!

when i said fly at zero prop pitch i was talking about the H model with the variable pitch propellor, the C model is different.

Unless you exceed max RPM allowed. 10 minutes MW50 limit doesn't mean that some of the other limitations will not kick in first( engine or coolant temperature, revs).

For those who judge people by their nationality I can only say that there is more Germans than Russians in DT, ratio is something like 4:1.

No matter what other limitations might be, engines equipped with MW50 should not be damaged within 10 minutes. But try yourself in game, every engine with MW50 enabled will be damaged within 5 minutes, no matter how you fly.
