It does appear that overheating, and engine damage, is modeled, but it's
kind of wacky. I've not been able to determine a consistent water temp
reading for ok, and not ok.
Anyone else seeing this ?

N4 gives me engine damage sometimes in offline Testing Session although
damage is disabled. It seems to be intermittent rather than reproduceable,
and therefor I think it's not a feature, but unintentional (to avoid that
ugly 3-letter word <g>)

But it's not a gub, it's a feature :)

It _looks_ to me like NR2002 may be basing this off of oil temp instead of
water temp.
I'm still a bit confused as to what, exactly, is going on here.

You can still

maybe I'm just not patient enough for such empiric studies ;-)

thanks for the info!
Right click in N4? Darn, why don't I ever RTeffingM ;-)

What doesn't make any sense is the line between blow up, and no blow up. It
doesn't seem to be necessarily tied to the temp guage, like it is in N4.
It _seems_ to be more tied to the oil temp guage in this one.
I don't think we'll really understand this until the release version is out
and the manul explains what the hell is going on.
Who knows. It may not even be fully modeled yet.
