Why cant i keep my engine speed up?
#1

couple things I am having problems with. I mostly vs. AI when i play this game and no matter which aircraft im flying I always seem to have a MAJOR issue keeping up with the enemy aircraft speed AND altitude. The AI under any condition seems to ALWAYS be able to fly faster and gain altitude MUCH MUCH easier then me. I do everything i can. I dive down a bit, full throttle, Water injection enabled, mixture 100 sometimes 120 on certain planes. I then pull up and do a very SLIGHT climb, lets say 5-10 degree climb and my airspeed PLUMMETS. However the AI seems to be able to climb and gain altitude infinitely w/o having to level off as much as I do to prevent stalling.

Can somebody please give me tips on complex engine management? IE. cowl flaps, mixture, prop pitch, feathering prop, and WEP injection and anything else you feel is necessary for me to understand to better my engine and flight performance.

My dog fighting skills are great besides the fact that the enemy is always faster and always higher then me. Higher then me always because I can not gain altitude as well as they do. And when you have an enemy plane that is ALWAYS diving down at you over and over again it gets VERY frustrating,.

Even when i fly planes that historically are suppose to have good climb rates and power IE. P-47 thunderbolt I struggle greatly with this. Seems like the only way I win most the time is to take the fight to lower altitudes(1000 meters) and hope they chase me instead of just linger high in the sky(3000meters).

Please please give me your tips for complex engine management

And please give me airspeed tips, and how i can better my altitude climb/dive rates and anything else you feel I need to know to better myself as a desktop pilot.

Early thanks to anybody who can offer help.
