It's got an air-cooled radial and only has an oil radiator, adjusting the intake changes the amount of air that goes through the cowlng. Switch to external camera and look at your plane head-on while adjusting the cowling to see what moves.

Ah ofcourse 😁

 

So you only have to monitor the oil temp who is the cowling ? On the 190 🤓😎

Open your cockpit on the ground and put your head out the side, those are the outlet shutters you control on Anton's.  You'll see them move when you crank the control, on the Dora it's the flaps on the front cowl, you should be able to see part of the top ones from in the pit.  The Dora has a bit of thermal regulation going on so partly automated depending where you place the setting.  The A-4 has zero control for the pilot.

On the early Antons, the oil cooler is fed from the somewhat fan pressurized engine compartment which squeezes air forwards through the oil cooler then out through the ring around the front of the cowl.  This air also feeds the supercharger (the supercharger ducts are the reason for the teardrop shaped blisters on the engine cowling).  Later variants had adjustable shark gill like doors behind the exhaust.
