westr Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I created a mission, at night tasked with intercepting 3 ju-88s flying from the channel over England. They arrive one after another so the duration of the flight should last about an hour, start to finish including takeoff and landing at Manston. The ju-88s can fly pretty fast so I have to push the mosquito at times in order to intercept before they escape back over the channel. So I’ve read some notes about limitations, I’ve tried really hard to not push the engines too much for too long +9 boost is advised at no more than an hour, at times I have gone over +9 but am conscious of the time and quickly set the engines back to Max continuous +7 as soon as possible. I open my Rads to maximum but no matter what I do the engines seem to just loose power at virtually the same point every mission. They don’t seize, they continue to turn but just loose power, first the right engine then the left. Like I say this seems to happen at the same point of the mission around 45 mins every time. Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? RYZEN 7 3700X Running at 4.35 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti 32gb DDR4 RAM @3200 MHz Oculus CV1 NvME 970 EVO TM Warthog Stick & Throttle plus 11" extension.

grafspee Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Include track. But first thing, what rpms setting are you using for that flight? I use 10lbs at 2850rpm and i didn't encounter any problems.

rkk01 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Fuel…? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Fuel problem maybe? With this convoluted mess of tanks, gauges and valves, I would check that possibility. Post the mission file, I won't try it it 'cause I don't own Channel map, but others might.

rkk01 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 My thoughts… if your a consistent 45 mins each time I’d check the outer wing tank gauges. I was using the Mossie for some Falklands sightseeing and had to flip the fuel cocks over to main at “roughly” that time into my flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westr Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Ok I will post a mission file when I try next, regarding fuel, I was under the impression that if the fuel selectors are set to main supply they will use all tanks apart from the drop tanks? Is that correct? RYZEN 7 3700X Running at 4.35 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti 32gb DDR4 RAM @3200 MHz Oculus CV1 NvME 970 EVO TM Warthog Stick & Throttle plus 11" extension.

Is that correct? No they will use only main tanks, sice dcs is fueling outer tanks first there is high chnce that main tanks werent filled not as much as you though.
