High altitude flying - Sean2323 - 12.06.2010
ok, i know you've heard this
so im doing a mission with high altitude bombing... my sqaud is going up there at over 300 km/h, but no matter what prop pitch, mixture, or power setting, i cant seem to match there climb rate. and if i start really high, i cant stay high, again i use prop pitch, engine power, and mixture settings, to no prevail, can anyone offer any help to me?
(i understand the site is under construction so it'll take a little while to answer, take ur time, its the weekend and im up til 12
)

Full power, full prop pitch, lower mixture. I have no problems up there. Ask your squadmates what settings do they have if you fall behind.

A key piece of information missing is 'What Plane are you flying?'
Re: High altitude flying - Sean2323 - 13.06.2010
well, im in the 305thBG so we mostly fly the B-25, or the B-17, i do training with the AI so... i cant really ask them what settings :roll:
well thanks.
also the fighters i fly are FW-190, all varients, and BF-109 all varients, and the one i fly the most, the YP-80, or with mods, the F-80c
Re: High altitude flying - {HVY-E}Jinxx - 13.06.2010
Well, one big problem is the AI will not automatically engage the Super Chargers.
As for the fighters, German planes in this game (except for the TA-152H), SUCK above 23,000 ft. and become practically useless above 25,000 ft.
HVY Group fly predominately US Bombers.
The settings we use for the B-17 are as follows:
16 x 500lb load
30% fuel
Prop Pitch 100%
90-95% Power on initial climb.
Superchargers 2 at 13,000ft
Mix 80% at 20,000ft.
Power 103% from 20,000 to 25,000ft.
Power 90% for cruise, Prop Pitch 96%
Drop speed will be about 280mph TAS, Angle 31deg, Alt 25,120ft.
Give that a shot and see how you do.

I'm from Canada, i dont understand imperial.... do you know those measurements in metric?
Re: High altitude flying - KG64_Cnopicilin - 15.06.2010
The feet->Meters are roughly divided by 3. You should start using them in the game as almost all of the aviation world uses feet.

Unless I travel to Canada,then you will.
Re: High altitude flying - KG64_Cnopicilin - 12.08.2010
The whole aviation world uses feet and knots...

You can change the speed bar in game so you cycle though and get a rough idea.
