Stuka Oil Cooler Has No Effect

[JG4_Sputnik]

Hi,

 

just made some tests with the Stuka to see how far I can push its engine. And it seams that it flies forever as long as you don't go over 2600rpm and about 1.4 ata even with oil cooler closed.

 

For example, if I close the oil cooler and fly with 2600rpm and about 1.3 ata I can fly forever, Oil goes up to 125° (!) and air cooler is fully open but goes also up to 115° (at 2k it shouldn't exceed 90° i guess) and then I can climb as long as I want on summer map without destroying my engine.

 

If I close water cooler and then wait for it to overheat (which happens at about 120°) also it seems that I just get the warning but nothing happens to the engine.

 

Only when I fly at 1.4 ata and over 2600rpm for longer than about a minute ("take off mode") the engine eventually dies but it seems that there's no other way to kill the engine with different setups. It's like the oil and water coolers have no effect on the engine whatsoever (other than moving the needle on the gauges).

 

This is of course full real and with no warmed engine.

This is very strange and I don't know if it is just after the new patch or not, since I didn't fly the Stuka for a long time.

 

 

EDIT: It seems other Planes have the same problem
