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.
Nukenin Posted Monday at 10:24 AM Author Posted Monday at 10:24 AM I was away for a while and didn' t even notice that I got replies after all. Yes it' s true, I was using an axis für the RPM settings and never tried anything else. I thought it was fine this way ... it might explain a lot. I will try to set it to slider or use other ways and hopefully it solves the issue! Thank you all for your help!

The side of the fuselage is an extraordinary air brake. 1 My DCS Missions: Band of Buds series | The End of the T-55 Era | Normandy PvP | Host of the Formation Flight Challenge server Supercarrier Reference Kneeboards IRL: Private Pilot, UAS Test Pilot, Aircraft Designer, and... eh hem...
