Spitfire engine problens.
#15

Ok.. This might help. From the MkIX manual..

Extract from..
Engine Coolant system--- On all Mk IX aircraft the radiator flaps are fully automatic and are designed to open at a coolant temperature of 115 degrees C. There is no manual control. A pushbutton (41) for testing the radiator flaps is on the electrical panel..

Extract from..
Operating data---
Max climbing (1 hour limit).. R.p.m. 2,850.. Boost. +12.. Coolant temp. 125C... Oil. 90C.
Max continuous.................... R.p.m. 2,650.. Boost. +7... Coolant temp. 105C, (115) for short periods.. Oil.. 90C.
Combat, 5 mins. Limit........ R.p.m. 3,000.. Boost. +18.. (+15 on Merlin 61). Coolant temp. 135C... Oil. 105C.

Note.. Combat, full power for 5 mins max!! This sounds about right in game to me?
