Sortie 6 timings

[captain_kaoss]

The brief for Sortie 6 says warm up yours engines given the cold temps- why is the S/C time of 1405 so close to the mission start time - its difficult to get the required engine temps in such a short time

[Reflected]

I never had problems warming up. Check out my tutorial to make sure you do it the right way, and you're aiming for the right numbers:

In this video the oil dilution button has visible effect on oil pressure, unlike when I press it. Maybe some patch broke it?

So I start taxi with too low temps, but during taxi it goes up and at takeoff it's almost at minimum... But never had problems with engine.

You have to keep it depressed not just oress it once. It doesn’t have an immediate effect, keep it on for a minute

Ok, thanks, I kept it depressed max 10 seconds and no effect, so I thought it does not work. Will try for a minute.

I think the oil dilution function could be broken - there is hardly any effect from pressing it compared to your video where you can clearly see the oil pressure dropping

I don’t see any related bug reports in the Spit secion. Better ask around there. I’ll check too but a few weeks ago it still worked.

OK I just flew the whole mission, came back with a 190 destroyed and 30 gallons of fuel to spare.

I started the engine after the briefing, had 15 C of oil temp at 14:01:30, taxied after my lead at 14:02, was airborne by 14:03.

Just keep the oil dilution depressed and keep increasing the throttle until the oil pressure is pegged so that it warms up faster.

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. I got around to finishing sortie 6 yesterday but didn't manage to bag a 190! I did make it back with plenty of fuel though. Really enjoying this campaign and already have Speed & Angels and Zone 5 ready to go in my library next!
