ID:0058850 26/Jun/2017 Ki-44II engine WEP heat issue

[s9723 489]

difficult setting; realistic battle, sim battle

 

situation

According to historical source, WEP power( 300mmHg boost / 1.39 atm in game) was limited to 1 min use. Continu use over 1 min might lead to potentially engine damage.

 

In the game, with radiator set to 0 %, engine can run in wep for 2~3+ minutes before overheat(temp turn red). With proper radiator setting, WEP power can run almost forever.

 

suggestion

WEP power should have wose overheat.

No matter what % radiator is set, engine using WEP should overheat so rapidly that engine temperature become “red” in 30 seconds and count down start in 1 minutes.

 

The change will make ki-44 FM more historically accurate, and it can still hold its own at br2.7 in the game( still outclimb and outspeed most opponent in the br ).

 

 

 

My historical source is a ki-44II user manual.

Hi,

   Thanks for the report.

 

Did your flight test comply with the Flight Test requirements?

Please provide Flight Test records - replay/video and clogs.

 

Thanks

[s9723 489]

Since flight test requirment doesn't clearly state how to test enginne overheat, I try several condition.

WEP: RPM 2650  boost 1.39ata
fuel load 100%

1.take off and use WEP,  alt keep at sea level , automatic engine control

around 4:20, temperature turn red
5:20, red and flashing
6:20, engine damaged

AEC.clog

 

 

2. take off and use WEP, alt keep at sea level ,radiator set to 0%
mixture 100%, pitch 100%

around 4:00, temperature turn red
5:00, red and flashing
6:10, engine damaged

0%radiator.clog

 

 

3. take off and use WEP, alt keep at sea level ,radiator set to 50% according to documentation
mixture 100%, pitch 100%

run for 8+ minutes , temperature keep white, no overheat

50%radiator.clog

 

Things to notice when take off,

Set cowling gills full open in summer, half open in other seasons.

There seem to be  no engine temperature information in ingame replay.

Is it okay to provide ingame replay?

Maybe I should use other program to record?

[KnightoftheAbyss 2,859]

Take screenshots at relevant times as well.

 

That will record the interface at that time.
