Nukenin Posted June 21 Posted June 21 (edited) Okay seriously, I am following about every video tutorial I can find, following the steps of cold start, warming the engine etc. I just loaded up my F4U with two Tiny TIms, 50% fuel, think the weight is about 96% which is heavy, I know. But even though the startup trim helps me get the Corsair into the air ... it will never get over 100 mph ... maybe 110 max ... I cannot climb, I can barely keep it in the air and at some point I just hit some random house or tree because I am just skimming the ground. I really feel that the engine is just not giving any pull at all ... It' s like I am missing one tiny detail ... F4U and how I cannot fly.trk Edited June 21 by Nukenin
altairrules Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Are you setting the rpm via an axis control you have? If you are, try setting max rpm via mouse instead. There’s a huge difference I noticed. I found that fix from someone else when trying to figure out why I couldn’t get off the boat lol

Lee Dove Posted June 27 Posted June 27 I have this problem anytime the speed is below approx 120. IT is as if I am short of power but prop rpm is 2600 and good manifold pressure. It does just not gain speed in level flight.
