Cooling Update

[Hobel]

The extended cooling physics and additional damages are added to Mosquito, P-47D, P-51D, FW 190A-8, and FW 190D-9

we can now do what the manual says with the P51

1 min at full throttle at standstill = generally no longer so sensitive, at least this was also my first tests.

I'm not really sure exactly what that means. I know there has been various issues with engine stuff. But what exactly have they done in this patch?

Before the patch, the P51 was very sensitive, it felt like there was little liquid cooling. accordingly, the system boiled very quickly which led to the death of the engine.

Only there seems to be a tank that buffers a little more heat.

 

Before the Update:                                                          Now:

This is what it feels like now in my opinion

I know the basics that the P51 has been very brittle. 

So no more engine breaking at lower speeds?

But what about the P47, A8 and D9?

Never noticed any heating problems there.

Nope, or rather it lasts much longer

D9 now also lasts a little longer as far as that is concerned.

 

 

 

I think this also means that the system probably deals with damage in more detail, otherwise just fly and watch what happens, maybe others share their experiences here what else has changed in detail.

Have the Spit and K-4 had their cooling models updated? I notice they're the only two missing from the list, but I don't recall patch notes from previous patches.

Not yet, their cooling model needs more time to test/finish.

Will the cooling fix on the spitfire also include the over-cooling problem on low RPM/boost?

This in the stable or open beta patch?

Open beta and it will stay that way for some time, it needs refining as every new thing in dcs.
