This is to my main point about not looking at any gauges once the takeoff roll starts. It's a simulation, focus on what you can't do right now. The plane is not going to have a catastrophic failure.guard2017a wrote:I am done with this plane no matter what I do after everything I read and watched it still will not fly always crashes.

Even in real life if you've checked all the gauges during the runup there is very little likelihood of a failure on the takeoff roll, so looking at the oil pressure, etcetera is more likely to cause you to crash the plane than warn you of impending doom. And at that point you can't do much about it anyway except declare an emergency and try to put the plane on the ground in one piece, no?
This is a great video of a P-51D engine failure and off-field landing with an analysis afterward which I believe illustrates why one should keep his wits and nerve, and mostly keep his head out of the cockpit.
Try the Aircraft Factory version of this plane, or the WWII Fighters/Wings of Power II version. It won't blow up or stop running and need to go back to the maintenance hangar. I understand the Accu-sim version is sort of a simulation of wearing all the hats, all the time: crew chief, mechanic, co-pilot, and so on, but if it took that much effort in the real world for the pilot (all by him or herself) to get off the ground we'd never have gotten into the air in the first place, and no one would be flying except for maybe kites.
Concentrate on learning to "fly" in the simulator and remove all the distractions of overheating and failures. Later on you can replace the supercharger and change the oil.
Personally I would just pay a competent A&P to do that and expect the airplane to work properly!
