Author Topic: p40b climb at low fuel (Read 391 times)

You guys notice something strange with that? Maybe I am just crazy, but it appears that decreased fuel has little effect on climb rate.

Am I nuts?

check it out.
both are autotakeoff in same direction, picture taken at 3000 feet (and 3500 cause I was watching tv). Controls untouched during test. First pic is at 25% the second is at 100% fuel.
Can this be right?

Which arena were you flying in? I have heard that the TA doesn't take fuel load into effect in regards to range or FPM ratings.

no, fair question, I was offline in a windless map.

Then I would suggest trying it again in an area of the CT where you can bugger about a bit. Offline is no different than TA from what I understand.
