Do you want the engine to overheat when you firewall throttle?

Of course, overheating leading to power loss.

Sorry for the other post, screwed the "- Poll" thingy.

Cheers,

Pepe

What I'd really like is a single four question poll instead of four single question polls. As for the questions...

Don't care.

Yep but only if you run full throttle for more than thirty minutes or so. Otherwise....

NO

What Lazs said. Many of these planes could fly wide open for very long periods of time.

Reposted from WEP poll:

WEP shouldnt switch itself off.......instead the engine should just get hotter and hotter and hotter......you'll eventually (and I'm not talking a mere 10 minutes here) start to hear a ringing sound as things start to melt.......then a gradual power fade until, finally, something important melts.....and either the engine suddenly seizes or a barrel gets fouled by a lump of molten piston ring or whatever......and then detonation occurs.

I wouldn't mind any bad at all if they would model whole engine management in its full complexity... that would only make up for my interest towards currently simple air-quake aces high

Yes, but since fuel consumption has a modifier, shouldn't engine performance have the same sort of thing?

YES please. Keep the engine at 100% or at WEP and it goes past the redline... and you in serious trouble farmboy....

Yes. What lazs said.

Yes, make it an arena configurable option with a modifier variable, like fuel consumption. Really long duration until overheat in MA, average in scenarios, less time in the Afrika scenario, South Pacific, that kinda thing.

LOL! well, if we are going to have some kind of anal "engine heat time modifier" thingie then I vote we have a "time to climb" modifier that matches. That should give us about a 20 second to 20K climb rate give or take a second.
