Fox One Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 F-86F flight manual: “To obtain initial taxi roll, open throttle to approximately 60% rpm; then retard throttle immediately. Once the airplane is rolling, it can be taxied at idling rpm on hard surface.” The aircraft with 100% fuel and no external stores (in standard conditions) will not move at 60% rpm, it will require about 63-64% rpm. The aircraft will barely move at 60% rpm with a very low fuel quantity (like below 25%) and no external stores. Once the aircraft is moving, reducing throttle to idle – the aircraft will stop, no matter how low the weight (even with 5% fuel, no stores), at any outside temperature. In the flight manual after engine start they say engine idle should be between 34% and 38% rpm – in DCS idle rpm at outside temperature -/+ 50deg C is 26% to 31% rpm – completely outside the range specified in the manual. I believe currently in DCS the rpm/engine thrust correspondence at idle and also intermediate rpm is inaccurate. Or it might be that wheel drag is too high, though I doubt this is the problem here.
