450Devil Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 During WWII Mosquitos conducted high altitude raids on Berlin. Berlin is 490 miles from the nearest point of the UK. Round trip 4 to 5 hours. I am currently building a long range mossie mission - round trip 884 miles. In testing the mission today the oxygen ran out in less than two hours. I suggest that the oxygen capacity needs to be doubled at least or the rate of use halved. 1

I can’t comment about the expected total oxygen time in the FB.VI, but this model rarely flew above 10,000 feet - it was entirely optimized for low altitude performance. The Mosquitoes that were flying to Berlin at high altitudes were the bomber (or PR) variants. They also had more internal fuel and engines tuned for high altitude performance.

ED Team NineLine Posted September 8, 2022 ED Team Posted September 8, 2022 yeah I am not sure about this, I will try and look into it. I am not sure if the oxygen system changed between versions. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Chipwich Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I know that this is an old topic, but in case someone is interested, some of the guys at Mudspike have reported that the hypoxia doesn't seem to be a factor in the Mossie. I came over here to find if it had been reported as a bug. Maybe let this one lie if it helps with some high altitude mission ops approaching 2 hours.

It is a factor now, I just tested it by not knowing you need to open an oxygen valve manually. Kicked in around 20k ft. 1
