British FM killing the fun of the game for allied pilots.

[Crumpp]

at no time did AI control the aircraft.

I know AI did not control the aircraft but it is the game that controls the engine when you turn temperture effects off.

The speed figures obtained in real life should therefore be possible within the simulator when all aspects of control are being managed by a Human Being.

Exactly, we are saying the same thing.

It might help to see how the AI is working the engine.

You should see the same performance if the system is operated the same as the AI.

A possible error in the game's programming is what is being suggested here, connected with the temperature management settings affecting engine performance adversely.

'with all gauges in the green'

It boils down to asking if anything is being operated differently by the game when temperature effects are turned off. Is the oil cooler flaps in a different position, radiator controls, etc....
