1. Unless you have to, avoid 3000 RPM/18lb boost and rather stay at 2850 RPM/12lb

 

2. Avoid getting under 140mph IAS.

 

3. Do NOT make extended steep/vertical climbs and NEVER tail slide.

 

4. Only turn as tight as you need to at any given moment; the Spit will give you vast amounts of turn rate but at the expense of airspeed so manage it carefully, ref point 2.

thank You DD_Fenrir! Flying a Spitfire is one of the most rewarding thing to do. I mentioned it in other forum posts, that it would be better since there is a game mode for dummies like myself, to be able to avoid these engine fire stuffs. I don't have too much time to practice and when I'm doing it, I'm doing it for fun. After a hard working day the last what I want is to get angry because I blew up my engines. For me these things however accurate are very frustrating and I would be happier to be able to shut off these engine fire stuffs, but right now the game as it is....

 

anyway do you know any code, which prevents these engine fires?

Can you elaborate on this topic, so i assume that you see fire coming of the engine right,

Then what you need to do is to always fly at 3000rpm, this mean prop lever all the way forward, by doing this you will avoids engine fire.

In spitfire you need to operate to handles in order to manage engine, one is throttle second one is engine rpm regulator.

Engine spits fire because you were over boosting engine and engine blown up.

you cant fly at 2500rpm and open throttle fully at low alt.

I doubt that there is any cheat to prevent this from happening.
