I have flown the P-51A probably a dozen times. Down low on the deck on the Burma map in the QMB it doesn't take too awfully long to start to overheat. I was surprised how long it took to overheat above 15,000 - 18,000 feet at 110% throttle.
I do have a .pdf of Air Publication 2025A Pilot Notes for the Mustang I and Mustang IA Aeroplane: Allison V-1710 F.3R Aero-Engine and Allison V-1710 F.3R/M Aero-Engine. It has not only the takeoff, climb, continuous and combat power values, but it has the associated max coolant temperatures and also the oil temperatures for each condition.
Now speaking of overheating I would like a question answered if you can.
Another question while looking at the engine performance data of the R-2800-8 and 8W I noticed that there were two different altitudes where the supercharger is switched from neutral to low blower. With NO RAM it is switched at 5000 feet, but with RAM it is switched at 7000 feet. Please explain to me what condition would represent NO RAM and what condition would represent RAM. An uneducated guess would be that NO RAM would be either sitting on the ground or while flying with cooling flaps/doors closed and RAM would be flying with cooling flaps/doors open.
I look forward to your explanations.
I hadn't been playing the game much because for so long the manifold pressure gage for the corsairs was messed up. Since they were fixed recently I started flying this sim again and had been testing out the new P-51A. I will start to fly the B & C for the next week when I can and see what happens with the heat.
