I don't think so...automatic settings are "perfect". The game adjusts it everytime, if you take control over it, you can't do any better than the game.

The auto settings are far from perfect. They adjust constantly when your temp changes, decreases your speed most of all. In the P-51 esspecially the manual rad settings are important to speed. You can leave it open at Rad 4 and cool it plenty.

Also its better to use manual prop pitch on the 190, once you learn the proper settings for rpm and ATA, you can squeeze more performance out of the Butcher Bird.
