Only if we can kick you out of bed at 3AM for briefing and if you get shot down you never play again :aok
In the past I'd sometimes play till 3 am... :bolt: :bolt: :D

The only engine management feature I think would add value to AH is radiator management, some WW2 planes (spitfire and 109 come to mind first) had multiple radiators with shutoff valves. Also, I believe some planes you could temporarily push the throttle above 'max power' for a limited time (not sure)... (not wep)..

Yeah, but that oil wasn't going to be a problem since the exhaust valve was open and it went out the exhaust.  You don't care about that....you just worry about a hydraulic lock. 

The hydraulic lock is caused by oil, right?

Yes.  If water causes one you have other issues.  :devil
