Bug or feature?

[Panzerlang]

Maybe a random 'failure' thing? Me110, both models, on first flight on an MP server the right engine always runs approx. 20c higher temp than the left one. Subsequent flights both engines run same temps. Oil rads fully open. It never causes engine problems so I don't know what to make of it.

TIA.

I have seen this on other twins.  I always assumed it was just the result of engines starting a few minutes apart ie the first engine has been warming up a minute longer so is a little hotter when you taxi out then you fly with both on the same radiator settings. Both are cooling at the same rate so the first engine will always remain hotter (though obviously the hotter one loses heat a little faster as heat loss is a function of temperature differential)

If that was so it would be the same for each flight but that's not what happens. It's odd.

I agree. I see the same.   I also sometimes see the same settings give slightly different performance from each engine. No idea why.

Not sure but same happens with HE111 and second engine uses slightly more fuel. Only 1 generator is installed and that needs more power and uses more fuel...? Is that correct?

There is also a bug where the 110 starts with different radiator settings. So you have to make sure you set them at the same level when you start.

 

Might not be related but look out for that.
