Spitfire Mk.IXe automatic radiator bug

[Smis]

Hello, last night we were playing on KOTA server and four of us were in spitfires. All of us had problem with overheating all the time on automatic radiator even on combat power. After a while we switched to manual (full open) and the percentage went from about 40% to 100% for me and from about 20% to 100% for my friend. Why wont the auto radiator open more when it was certainly overheating? Never had this problem on berloga.

Can provide tracks if needed.

Thanks, Smis

 

 

Edit: could be that on berloga as you spawn you wont survive long enough to get engine hot ?

last game update mess it up, automatic radiators dont work abow ~5000m, engine owerheats but rads dont open at all abow that alt, its either bug or how real worked no info from devs about it.

 

So if you wont to use mk9 to full potential you cant any more at anything exept low flying, or fly all time with manual and 100% open rads to make slow airplane even slower.

 

reported here when patch come out month ago:

I think many of us hope so too - details have been PMed etc, and if it is not corrected as a bug with a bit of luck when the developers get to the P-51 they will realize that their interpretation of the Spitfire cooling is untenable.   It is not the radiator shutters at fault BTW - it is the pressurization of the whole system that is incorrect.

Known bug, will be fixed.
