Author Topic: Ok, can someone help we with throttles and RPMs here....... (Read 481 times)

I now have AH set up were I can control the RPM and Throttle separately. But can anyone tell me how to use it? I mean if I have my RPMs at minimal and throttle to full what does that do? And vise versa what if I have my throttle at minimal and my RPMs at full?

I use separate RPM-setting only for improve glide. Low RPM lowers drag A LOT when out of engine/fuel gliding.

Lowering RPM and MAN should lower fuel consumtion/miles but that is not the case in AH according to tests someone did earlier, hence best range with lowering MAN only.

The best endurance (time on air) can be acquired with lowering both.

Dago,

And your problem is????

Beef asked for help. You dont feel like helping, don't post. It's none of your business if he plays online or no.

Dago, Beef posted that stuff like a year ago and Creamo punted it up the forum. Pull your head out of your bellybutton man.

Well a few days ago I deleted my account. I did this because I have many "issues" with HTC that most likely will never be resolved. But I won't go into that, I'm just here to say bye and to wish you guys good luck. I hope to see some of you in WW2OL, which is most likely where I shall go next.

Like alot of "Vet" pilots, I will not die....just....fade away........

Guess his definition of fade away varies from the common conception. Basically, he is the Rolling Stones of of AH.

Yes Beef posted that and yes he deleted his account. He started a new account at the request of his squadmates. The reasons for the deletion and the reasons for the restarting are not going to be discussed here, but please trust me when I say that I would have done exactly the same thing in his shoes.

I just don't understand why a guy asks a technical question and people respond by digging up stuff he said a year ago that is completely unrelated. Like school on Sunday... No Class.

I thought that was like a teacher without any students

Uhhh I guess I'd better not get into it. I don't know what Dago said, and I'm not going to ask.

(back on topic)

Anyway thank you for splaing how the RPMs work. Now can someone tell me how to set it back?

There's our Dejaspew, he could've used this opportunity to behave like a civil adult . But no, he chose to respond in his trademark nonsensical insolent antagonistic manner . You never disappoint us Deja .

Wow suave1, hard to argue with the maturity you just displayed. Stop taking posting tips from westy.
