Revision of La5 automatic engine management under normal settings?

[sturmkraehe]

Under normal settings the automatic engine management of the La5 is far too suboptimal in order to fly this plane competitively in such an environment. After a few minutes even at not 100% throttle it opens its engine outlets that drain so much energy that maximum speed and acceleration are rarely available when needed.

Press Shift+R, Shift+M and Shift+N and control it manually then, like they did back 194x!

Oh, ok. Will try that if this works in Normal difficulty level and report back.

"Press Shift+R, Shift+M and Shift+N"

 

And make things simple adding Shift+R for the other two options too, allow turn "CEM" with one keypress.

Shift+R toggles on/off the auto radiators, Shift+N is for rpm limiter and Shift+M is for mixture and manifold pressure. It only works on normal difficulty.

 

Sokol1, although I do think its a lot of buttons to press, I think it give the freedom of choice to people, letting them choose what manually control and what let the auto control do it. Better have options than dont have any.
