Engine management and Best climb speeds
« on: May 18, 2004, 08:17:21 PM »
Ok guys

Engine management and Best climb speeds.

I have noticed in the beta arena, that fuel consumption is much higher, and we also have the E6B panel that give us more flight info like GPH used, total fuel amount, flight time left at current engine settings ETC. On this window are charts for engine settings like Emergency power, Military power, Normal power and Max cruise.

Will Hitechcreations be releasing these charts so we can print them out?


Now onto the rest of my question, do you guys mess with the climb speed?

I was changing it on the F4U-1 and set it to 134 and it seemed to climb faster, the reason I did this is I seem to remember reading that was its best climb speed? Is this the case? Do some planes climb better then at certain speeds? If so does anyone have data on it?


What engine management controls are we missing? Mixture and shifting the Superchargers gears and turbo speeds? Do we need them? How many of us want them?

I could see having mixture, but I am ok with it as is if they keep the burn rate as is.
