1) Why oil leak in Yaks last for less than one minute, while for all other aircrafts it does for over 5 minutes ?

Thank you in advance for info.

Best regards

Just a guess.

It probably has a small oil tank hence it doesn't have a long time to leak, Compared to say a P-51 that may have substancially more oil on board.

FYI, This is a guess.

The 109 can leak oil for quite long time as well

Looks like a bug. I'll change it.

While your at it why don't you check the "Over Generious" flight models on the Yak's. The Yak should be able to catch a 109G-10 at 25K+ but I had one run me down like I was sitting still and it wasn't a Energy state - we were both at co-alt for a long time in a tail chase.

Something is bad wrong with that.

The Yak shouldn't catch a G-10 at any altitude. No unperked plane should catch a G-10 between 5k and 30k. On the deck the G-10 is as fast as a P-51D. At 5k it does 400mph, at 22k it does 450mph. The only planes faster below 5k is the Typhoon, La-7 and Fw190D-9. At 30k the 109G-10, P-51D and P-47D-30 are dead even in speed.

I fly Yak9U very often and I'm sure it's slower than g10 at any alt between the deck and 20k, which is the maximum alt I've reached in it.
The acelleration - one of the best Yak's performances IMO - is also inferior.
