WelshZeCorgi Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm having trouble climbing past 32,000 feet. What engine settings do you use to get max ceiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm adjusting my power with my engine temps... maybe there's more about that in the manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I suggest you do a search, as this subject has already been discussed at length. I am not sure what the conclusion was, so happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Yo-Yo Posted December 20, 2016 ED Team Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm having trouble climbing past 32,000 feet. What engine settings do you use to get max ceiling? 3000 rpm and full throttle.

WelshZeCorgi Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 3000 rpm and full throttle. Wouldn't the engine overheat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Wouldn't the engine overheat? not if you're fast enough and the cooler is enough opened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabuzard Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Open the cooler and watch the engine gauges. If you reach critical areas, make a break and level out. Fly for about 5 minutes straight, not climbing, and the engine will cool to the normal areas again. It may also help reducing the engine power a bit in those breaks. When climbing, do it slow and smoothly. Not 90° upwards^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophiuchus Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 My suggestion is to use max continous settings (47" MP, 2700 RPM), and both coolers set to full open. I never actually managed to fly with full power for more than few minutes, as engine keeps dying. Near max ceiling you might want to use trimmers instead of stick and rudder for keeping her steady, since air is really thin up there. I reached over 42600 ft this way before I lost lift.

If you want to fly on MIL power, you need to keep your speed above 300mph, otherwise the radiators don't get enough air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solty Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 If you want to fly on MIL power, you need to keep your speed above 300mph, otherwise the radiators don't get enough air. Which is what I do not entirely understand. From what I've read some time ago, the best climb speed was 180mph and correct me if I am wrong but all ROC tests were done at that speed and with different power settings and all at automatic radiator settings.

Mars Exulte Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Best climb speed will vary with altitude, just like everything else does. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Sized Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 The engine doesn't produce enough manifold pressure to overheat at very high altitudes. If you held full power at 180 mph just after the supercharger switched gears you'd kill it in the blink of an eye. This is because you're in air much thinner than sea level but the engine is producing just as much heat. DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
