Once again, you seem to be conveniently disregarding that track I posted. I went 10 minutes with MW50 and full WEP without any ill effects.

Also, MW50 can be engaged without having to go to maximum boost. I'm not sure that the manuals factor in slow turning and apex-climbs and hammerheads at 110% power. Remember, they say "maximum" of 10 minutes (assuming everything else with the plane is in tip-top shape), not "at least" 10 minutes.

Thanks for the campaign, and the plane guys It's one of my favorites.

Ah.. a 'flying dutchman'! Very well then. It should by default have the same treatment regarding the overheat issue as every other plane, since its a global change. If its not hard to handle, fine. Must be because of its radial engine.

Paarthurnax has awoken from a long slumber atop Throat of the World to look down on the realm of mortal man as they sully along, historical aviation manuals in hand, and shout out to Joor' avi:

You are missing the forest for the tree. Download my track and you will see the Ta 152 H1 with a brand new engine overheat in 15 seconds (and I did not even use boost). No plane overheated in 15 seconds, except maybe something from World War 1, with a gas tank that a war horse nearby accidentally pizzed in. Furthermore, I can ride around in the UFO clown wagons for several climbs without overheat coming on. This patch mun is a gift to UFO fliers.

You what ?

Say again, you what?

Not even to dive down on a fighter below you, or to escape a Spit who might have come into the theater above you ?

I know this does not happen much with the AI of the QMB. Are you aware of how BnZ planes are to be used ?

Believe it or don't WD, it's actually faster to dive with retarded throttle and p-pitch.

The difference in the TA 152 is large.

Working on your ntrks now Swiss.

You don't need to publish source code,
you only need to post the differences here to support your opinions.

Gents, I am the guy who published a well read (and correct article) about the use of PP in IL2. Yes, I know that, thank you, but I just wanted the simplest test possible, and for most situations, the TA does better on auto than manual prop pitch.

And it does not negate my main point,

THE OVERHEAT MODEL IN 4.11 IS MESSED UP, .... BADLY

Sure, KG26 Alpha, no problem. However, if I could just put the source code out, you could see the very large way in which the TA 152 has been neutered.

I think this has turned into a comedy. I should probably stop caring about now for my own mental health

It's not about overheat... it's about clown wagons!

If we're not careful they will haunt us in our sleep!
