Engine Seize on Landing Tutorial

[dresoccer4]

I attempted the landing tutorial and as soon as the sim unpaused the engine broke. I thought I was following the instructions to the letter. I attached the track in case anyone wants to see what went wrong. 

Corsair Seize .trk

Update: just tried it a second time and exact same thing happened

Your oil temp was redlining. It took about 10 seconds to seize.

Open oil flaps all the way to get that temp down. You can half close it later.

Same thing happened to me if I left it closed when I took over in your track.

Also, don't follow tutorial "to the letter" with cowl flaps either. Reflected built both landing missions based on real life manual (which said keep cowl flaps closed), but in DCS that will cook your cylinder heads and kill the engine. So - close them as prompted to trigger next scripted instruction but then immediately open them a little.

well damn, no wonder I kept getting cooked. Yeah reflected needs to update their tutorial ASAP because it's going to completely destroy any new players coming in (myself included), especially if they don't use the forum for support. This is a glaring issue currently. 

EDIT: i looked on the main forum page for a sticky that would cover this info but I don't see anything. The Devs really need this information front and center asap.

I would say they need to fix the modeling.

The engine overboosts on WEP when it shouldn't per the manual, too.
