Cowl flaps should be closed for the lowest possible drag, so set radiator and oil to 0%. Set prop pitch to 80 and mixture to 120% and you will never ever overheat even with constant WEP.

Setting the radiators to 0% is optimal but 20% isn't going to hinder the performance much either. So if on a hot map like Tunisia you can still set them to 20% and on cold maps 0% The optimal prop pitch is around 90% - 94% you get the least drag with the most bite of the prop blades. Setting to 80% causes too much drag. It's do-able. But it wastes power. Once you go from 80% to 90% ish the RPM gauge will go up which is what you want. Essientally RPM = Power. And no. Setting the mixture to 120% the engine will lose power once climbing to altitude. Optimal mixture is around 80% don't go higher than 85% or lower than 75%. In the P47 the higher you are the best advantage you have.

Do you know if Manual Engine Control in Realistic works the same as this? I've been doing 0rad 0oil 82mix 80pp in my D-28/30s and it works pretty well. Should I be doing 85mix 90pp at low alt, and lean to 75mix as I approach max flight ceiling? I can manage temps and open the cowl flaps to 20% if I need to, but I'm just not sure when/why to adjust mixture and prop pitch in flight.

@XSpamDragonX As far as I know. MEC in RB and SB is the same. Around 90% to 94% prop pitch for P47s is optimal, then keep your mixture around 80% You don't need to adjust much else while in flight

@@ninjato5611 Is it ever worth it to reduce prop pitch in a high speed dive to reduce drag?
