Mosquito in 4.12.2 - overheating engine right after take off...

As I understand it, engines must be warmed up somewhat realistically now.
Going to full power on these engines when they are cold would do damage.
In RL it takes a few minutes.

Could be. I don't sit for long on the runway. From mission start I'm only on the ground for about a minute at the most.

The only thing I haven't done is try it on the Midway map. You're flying the Mosquito on the Midway map? Each map has its own ambient temperature gradient and Midway is likely to be hotter than say Normandy or Smolensk maps.

I've flown the Mosquito on Normandy as well. Same/similar result. I do know about the ambient temperatures differing on each map but the Corsair gives similar quick overheating on Midway, and you'd think it'd be able to cope.

I will try to make a track though.
