Are you able to start, then keep running without destroying, the engines in realistic mode?
I have the A2A P47 and with accusim and full real the engine is startable, manageable and with correct management usable.
With the Catalina I feel like a one arm bandit trying to start it. A frustrated juggler trying to keep those radials running. A bad mechanic trying not to break them.
In fact I can't be bothered to fly in realistic mode with the Cat. You get them running, turn round to tweak some switch or dial, then by the time you turn back the engines are running rough and dying on you.
There's also a nice can't stop the engine turning bug you might encounter but possibly patched by now.
BTW I have a quad core and the Cat IS a frame eater but flys okay for me.

Hello mateIn fact I can't be bothered to fly in realistic mode with the Cat.
That makes two of us I've not flown it a great deal since I bought it but I've found that model variations play a role in how bad FR's are hit. I'd only been using the WWII Vingtor paint then decided to try JC's 'Calypso' model and for whatever reason, this ran better Strange but true

You've got to keep giving it a shot of prime when the revs drop a bit until it warms up
