Radiator, cowl, oil and mixture controls. What does Aces High III do and not do?
I get the impression there are no actual controls for these and that engine heat is not modeled.
Am I correct?
Not meant to disparage the game, just wanting to know.
Ignore Traveler, hes just a grumpy old man.
As for your question, Heat is model only when it come to WEP (war emergency power). It is timed by plane and when you hit the "red" on your temp gauge you are out of WEP until the engine has cooled down enough (twice the time it takes to use WEP up).
As for all that "fiddly" stuff like cowls, oil, mixture and such, Hitech wanted a game that was fun, not work. Adding in button pushes for the sake of pushing another button isn't what he wants. Aces High is first and foremost, a game, NOT a flight simulator.
