Radiator: This controls the cowlings or flaps used to send air to the radiators and cool the engine. This isn’t modelled very well in the game at the moment, and not many planes have the option, so I would avoid messing with this setting.

Mixture: This is the amount of fuel used to send to the combustion chamber along with air (either injected or mixed in the carb). Full fine pitch is used on the ground and when stationary. ‘Feathering’ the prop makes the blades 0 degrees on, making minimum drag for gliding with dead engines.Ĭoarse pitch is used when diving, to avoid overspeeding and increasing drag. Now understandably as there are a lot of keys to set up, I’d suggest saving your current set-up before messing about. Hat switches and rotary dials are a blessing for JS users. Using a key to control a setting to increase, then shift-key to decrease works well for keyboard. In the control options, any buttons mapped in ‘full aircraft controls’ section will work in other modes (except trim, which is disabled in other modes).Īll these settings can be set to a key, an axis, mouse wheel, whatever. I’m not the best pilot by any stretch of the imagination, so you obviously shouldn’t take it as gospel, but it’s easy to have a considerable increase in performance by having the extra control options to hand.

I thought it would be good to make a thread explaining these controls and how to set them up, the advantages it gives, and when to use them. Not many people playing it seems are using the manual engine control options. War Thunder Manual Engine Controls Guide by iffy
