peeter Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Hello, Here is a kneebord I made for the mosquito. The data come from the "mosquito pocket manual" . Feel free to add your own kneeboard to the topic. To add the kneeboard, create a "MosquitoFBMkVI" file on your saved games/DCS/Kneeboard Cheers ! Edit : Correction of fuel table (thx razo+r) 09/32/2021 : Updated table Edited September 23, 2021 by peeter 2
razo+r Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 I think you should change the 3850 RPM to 2850 RPM in the fuel consumption chart. 1
Eldur Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 I guess it should be "LEAN" instead of "WEAK". Great to have those consumption rates there. If available, you probably should add the time limits on those power settings as well.

I did not write that on the kneeboard but: Take off to 1000ft = 3000RPM + 12 boost 5 min limit = 3000rpm + 9 boost Climbing or 1/2 hour limit = 2850 + 9 boost Crusing rich = 2650 rpm + 7 boost Crusing weak = 2650 rpm + 4 boost Edited August 18, 2021 by peeter
Basco1 Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Peeter this is superb mate,and a real help to us new Mossie pilots,and hey if the manual says ' WEAK ' then weak is good enough for me,please don't change it.

peeter Posted September 24, 2021 Author Posted September 24, 2021 The data come from the "mosquito pocket manual" Book. But It is for early mosquito. So yea, maybe your data are better for the FB version we have !

Sarge55 Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 Hmmm.. the "operating data" only lists 100 octane and 150 octane which, as I understand it are the only two levels used in WWII for fighters. How do you work out the the octane level based on Boost? Is there a table?

How do you work out the the octane level based on Boost? Is there a table? I didn’t work it out, I’ve read that +25 boost was used with 150 octane fuel, which FB.VI started to use for day ranger missions - at some point (I don’t have a date for this, maybe late 44?) the crews felt that they had difficulty in out running the contemporary LW fighters, and so the use of 150 octane and +25 boost was approved (for these missions at least). Wasn’t 130 octane the “normal” fuel for allied fighters in mid 1943 and later? edit: I vaguely recall that 150 octane/+25 boost applied to Spit XIV too.
