These settings work with BLITZ and CLOD
Below is a 'set it up and forget about it' setup for allied fighters that you should be able to fly freely without having to look at your dashboard dials at all and therefore be able to concentrate more on other aspects of your flying such as gunnery ,combat and situation awareness (SA). This setup has the flexibility to be tweaked at a later date when players are more comfortable but importantly although is conservative is still highly competitive. You will be able to dogfight competitively and immediately online.. I still use this setup even today after 2,000 hours in this sim...because it works...
Sometimes you maybe told by experienced players to keep an eye on temperatures and RPMs...IGNORE THEM!...You don't need to do that with this setup!...As a new player you need to start with an easier setup...
The 3 aircraft that this setup works on is ONLY the Spitfires Ia (100oct) ...Spit IIa and the Hurricane I (Rotol) ...At the moment there is always an option to find at least one if not two, sometimes all three of these aircraft on every map currently in the ATAG online server map rotation. Its important you only pick one of these aircraft as this setup will overheat any of the other aircraft which are a lot less forgiving.
So firstly you will have to set your engine management window ingame to numerical percentages (%) (Windows section in the 'Beginners Guide' will show you how to do this)..This will then allow us (or anyone) to transfer specific information to your aircraft in the form of numerical values for Throttle, Prop Pitch and Radiator settings (Mix is left alone at 0%). Check bottom left corner of video below to see how this should look in your game.
So..
For take off....Put your chocks in...Set your Rad to 100% and throttle to 15% while your engine warms....Wait until your 'Oil Temp' (Orange Dial on right side) reaches 40 degrees.
Leave your Mixture at 0% and do not touch it at all throughout.
Then for take off...Chocks out and then...
TAKE OFF
Throttle 110% (use Boost for take off)
Prop 100%
Rad 75%
Once airbourne...
Easy CEM for cruise and dogfight
Throttle 100%
Prop 85%
Rad 75%
Write the settings down together with the 3 specific aircraft until you know them...
You can now go off and get stuck into the dogfight....
So this is a good starting point and will allow you to get busy with the enemy without having any Complex Engine Management (CEM) to worry about....You can also experiment from these settings later if you feel you need to...
I would also advise at this stage to simply ignore the 'Boost Cut-Out' until you feel comfortable enough that you can experiment with it...Its an engine cooker and the advantage you will gain is minimal...
Check the bottom left Engine Management window on this video to see how this setting works..
I hope this helps new players...
and let me know how you get on...I need all the feedback I can with this
