Reflected Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Is it just me or the oil dilution is not working? I mean after startup I turn it on in the Spit and Mustang and it has a visible effect on the oil pressure after 5-10 seconds. In the Jug, absolutely zero. Is it not implemented yet or am I missing something? Maybe it worked less efficiently in real life? (close to not working at all?)

Art-J Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Reported a while ago. Haven't tested recently, but I reckon it hasn't been fixed yet, then? i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Reflected Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Ah ok. No, it's still not working. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yeah it would be good if we could get an update on this please ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 It would be nice to have oil dilution in the P-47, engine warmup takes ages without it. It appears that it's not working in the Mossie either. 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel_Thunder Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 @Reflected I tried this out the other day, and dilution seems to be working. At least as of the current open beta (2.7.11.21408).

grafspee Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I just tried it in P-47 it don't work, oil pressure haven't drop a bit.

Brigg Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yes it would be good if we could get an update to when this is going to be fully functional. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapage Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Are there any plans to fix this? Starting the jug takes a long time and is a major deterrent to flying it compared to other aircraft. Edited April 24, 2022 by Snapage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans for this and other stuff definitely a thing, question when, how many years.

VIKBELL Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It take about 13 minutes if you close every down to warm up the engine. There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy.

grafspee Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) It depends i think 40C or 45C is minimum if you start from 20C for example, it takes less time if you start warming up from -10C yeah it will take time.

AJaromir Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Oil dilution is used before engine shutdown. Not after engine startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aernov Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Regardless of the time and reason of use, if the oil is cooler than normal operating temperature range (flight manual says < 70 deg. C is OK, but fuel would probably evaporate pretty fast at 60 deg. too), it should gradually lower pressure with dilution switch on, and it will be most noticeable at cold start. Diluting before shutdown is used in cold weather conditions to prevent excessive pressure rise on next prop turnover and startup AFAIK, and in DCS we pretty much get new plane every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) There are 2 cases of oil dilution procedures. First one is oil dilution before engine shut down, to provide engine with safe oil pressure at engine start up at cold weather. Second one is oil dilution to provide proper oil pressure at moderate power, like emergency take off. Both oil dilution do not exclude each, so engine can be pre diluted before shut down and after start up pilot can dilute more to allow for emergency take off in winter time. I just tested it, Oil dilution does not work in P-47 still.
