Engine dies after takeoff

What about the usual culprit number 2: MW-fuel selector switch? Have you checked if it's in correct position when you spawn?

the MW-50 is in the off position

That's not what perfectly warming up the engine looks like.

You rev it up quite high for a cold engine, exceeding the maximum oil pressure. At takeoff, your engine is barely at minimum temps, and you exceed the maximum oil pressure yet again.

You should try applying throttle a bit more carefull while paying attention to the oil pressure and temperature gauge. When the oil pressure spikes above the maximum value, it's indicating that the oil is still too thick/not warm enough, and you should wait until it's ready.

Additionally, I see you got the MW/Fuel switch on the wall in the fuel position and enable the MW switch on the dashboard, followed by a shaking of the engine when you briefly go full throttle. That might also contribute to your engine tearing itself appart.

he's talking about the mw-50 vs fuel in the mw-50 tank. Technically, you overboosted the engine only once (without mw50), so this switch's position shouldn't really matter that much so early into the flight time, however I noticed you got to 2600rpm & 1.4 ATA pretty quickly and stayed there until the engine failure. Try limiting to 1.3 ATA max and see if that extends the engine's life (don't over-boost to 1.8 ata either, even if just for a split second).

What has me completely baffled is that from the moment the BF109K-4 came out in access, I have never had these problems with engine stops. I don't usually fly it live, but I have flown it a couple or three times a week, and this has been a surprise to me.

there has been an 'engine cooling' update about a year ago, or more, not sure if you haven't flown for that long. For the most part if you stay within the advertised engine regimes there's not a lot of 'bugs' that pop-up. However, if you start firewalling the throttle (even for very short periods of time) the answers to the questions such as "why did this fail?" become pretty elusive. That's DCS for you.
