Since most of the BoS community seems to be flying on the Expert servers I found this on the IL-2 BoS forum that may help. This is what you'll need to know and manage to keep your plane in the air (not much going on in the "Normal" level servers yet, but hoping so in the future):
"It appears a lot of pilots are having problems with engine management. I have been using the following with good results. The data was gleaned from several sources, but I dont remember where from." Stuka 1 minute max 2600 rpm @ 1.42 ata 30 mins max 2400 rpm @ 1.25 ata No restriction 2250 rpm @ 1.15 ata Cruise 2100 rpm @ 1.10 ata Above 6000m reduce by 0.1 ata Combat 2250 rpm @ 1.2 ata Climb out 240 kph @ 2450 rpm Rotate @ 170 kph Landing Downwind 2000rpm @ 0.6 ata Water radiator closed Touch down 150 kph LaGG Climbout 270 kph @ 2600 - 2700 rpm Rotate 190 kph Level flight fuel saving 1700 rpm Combat 2650 - 2700 rpmEngine temp 90 - 100C if it exceeds 110, revs back to 2300 Supercharger >2000m Lean engine > 3000m (I do it gradually on the way up by checking exhaust colour) LANDING Set 2600rpm in case of go around Reduce throttle Both Radiators closed Gear down <350 kph Flaps <250 kph Finals 200 - 220 kph Touch down 180 - 190 kph BF 109 Climbout 280 kpa 2500 revs @ 1.3 ata Max 1 minute 2700 reve @ 1.42 ata Max 5 mins @ 2500 kpa Rotate 180 kph Set horizontal stabalizer when in level flight DOWNWIND 1500rpm @ 0.6 ata Gear down <350 kph Flaps < 250 kph Finals 200-220 kph Touchdown 160-170 kph IL2 Climbout 250kph @ 2150 revs Gear up 2050 revs@ 10.5 Cruise 1850 revs @ 8.5 Combat 2050 rpm CLOSE TO TARGET Adjust speed to 300 - 320 kph Close oil radiator LANDING 1800 rpm @ 6.0 Gear down <250 kph Close water radiator Flaps <220 kph Glide speed 190 kph Touchdown 150 - 160 Kph YAK Climbout 2550 - 2700 rpm Transit 270 kph @ 1700 rpm for fuel saving Supercharger >3000m Combat 2650 - 2700 rpm (with both radiators closed but I quite often miss this one with no ill effects) 90 - 100 C for water and oil temps - Max 110 LANDING Wheels down <260kph Flaps <220 kph Close both radiators Glide 185 kph Touchdown 170 KPH

Thank you. That is very, very useful. I've been relying on my not-so-good memory and best guesses for this stuff.

Those guides of Chucks are great.
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

They are great.. it is too bad they are no longer available. perhaps he will reconsider and make them available again.

I have received permission from Chuck to pass his guides on to anyone who would like them. I will not publish them openly but I will be happy to send them to whom ever might want them.

Thanks for the sum-up. Having a litte memory-refresher in-game with just the minimal vital information would be great..
