All planes underpowered
« on: October 15, 2003, 06:07:43 PM »
Or at least that what's I thought 'till I looked at 'em on the ground from an external view. It seems they take much longer to take off and I've discovered why. The runway cement is still wet and the planes wheels sink into it about a third of the way.


Kidding about the wet cement but not the wheels or the power.

Yeah the wheels do look funny.  But climb rates and speeds seem the same, so I don't think power is a problem.   But takeoffs and landings are harder, so something has changed.  For the better IMHO.

I also noticed on the zpit 9 the wheels do not appear to be rolling.
