Spitfire and oil radiator control?

[Uriah]

Does the Spitfire in this game (Mark VB?) have a control that opens up and closes the oil radiator?  I looked on a cockpit that had labels and did not find one.  I ask as I am having a hard time keeping the oil from over heating.

RPM's control the oil, as well as the water radiator, open the water 100%, lower RPM's and it should come down. 85 to 90 I believe is what ya want it at, read the 

Specs in the plane setting 

[=362nd_FS=RoflSeal]

Mk V has no oil radiator control, only water radiator and for that basically keep at 40% all the time (neutral position). It is adequate for every power level except 16lbs where you will therefore have to open it up to 60%

Every plane has a Specification tab that will tell you what can and cannot be operated.

This is what I do with the Spit, seems to work quite well.

I went to quick mission and pulled up a plane and went to settings.  This must be the wrong place because all the info I noticed was about fuel, ammo and paint and things like that.

Go to quick mission and select a plane and click start. When the briefing map pops up there are two tabs; one for MISION and one for SPECIFICATIONS. Click the tab for Specifications.

This. It has a fixed-aperture non-adjustable oil radiator (the half-cylinder shaped thing under the left wing). An adjustable oil radiator (integrated with the water radiators) didn't come until the Mk IX.

Found it and thanks.  It seems that it would be better if this info was available much earlier rather than be so buried.  I am going to look to see if I can find it in the files.
