Hi all!Is there any chance to modify the aircraft.cfg of the 767PIC in order to reduce the N1 power neccessary to bring the ACFT into a taxi???With a TOGW of 135to. I need about 58% N1 in order to gain some taxi speed, and I need 40% N1 in order to maintain a certain speed.As this issue is a bit away from reality I would appreciate any suggestions.CheersTE

Don't even speak such things :). No really you cannot mess with it. Flight simulator has something very wrong with this runway "resistance" and that's why they had to use more power for taxi etc. This is not limited to PIC but to all aircraft. If you do mess with it you will effect the climb preformance etc so better to leave well alone.Best Wishes, Randy J.

Thanks for your reply, however, PSS has solved this issue in some way, as the A320 requires just a little bit more than idle thrust to get the ACFT into a taxi!TE

HiAs Randy has said tinkering with the cfg/airfile will affect other aspects of performance and really should not be altered to ensure fidelity.If you insist on this why don`t you ask PSS what they did to improve taxi thrust and try it yourself.If you`re smart you`d make a backup of your original cfg as I`m sure you will need it.;)

Hi,Open the air file with AIRED and make these changes in section 1506Column no: 20 First row value : 0.130000Column no: 25 First row value : 0.150000Column no: 30 First row value : 0.060000Column no: 35 First row value : 0.190000Column no: 40 First row value : 0.240000(Colums are N1 numbers, don't change them, rows are mach numbers don't change anything else)Don't touch the second row or other columns.Since the 767PIC's idle thrust N1 values are diffrent in air and ground, we can use this feature as a cheat.While idle thrust N1 differs from %30 to % 35 in the air (you can not go below from these, they are modulated by 767PIC) it's only about %25 on ground. As you can see above, you'll have more thust at %25 N1 than %30 N1.By this way, slippy 767 will don't tend to speed up on descent and you can start moving on gorund by %40-45 N1 then continue taxi with %25 N1.Note: These cahnges does not effect any climb or cruise N1 diffrences.

This is very interesting if it really does not effect anything else but I am no expert in this regard.Best Wishes, Randy J.

Believe me, it doesn't effect anything else. I can't send you the air file because, err you know, due to respect to WELP's work..It's not too efective at heavy weights and you'll need add a little power while sharp turns.

Hi!I tried to open the .air file, however it didn

Duhhhhhhhh Gee Tennessee, Whats AIRED??? Well Chumley.............

Hi BozhanExcuse my stupidity but how do I go about editing section 1506 exclusively? I just get a database type window that pops up when I double click and I can't edit it?Thanks

Make sure you have Aired V 1.52 available athttp://members.dsl-only.net/~eagle/AirEd.zipTake a copy of the airfile. Open the airfile. Then open 1506. It should appear as a spreadsheet.Point to the value in the first row you wish to change, then hit Enter and the value becomes editable. When finished hit enter again, and so on to next value.It took me a number of attempts until I worked out the Enter requirement.I must say the modified airfile seems to do all Bozhan claims with no apparent downsides that I have found.CheersIan

Ian Mitchell wonderful mine!! :D :D :D :D

Hi again guys,I was away for a while, so I'm soory about lacking info and help about AIRED. However thanks to Ian for show up :-)I may did a small mistake on column 35's first row value, it seems too high now. Reducing it to about 0.010000 may help slowing down on approach. (Thrust between %30 and %35 is useless now)If you can get the idea in spite of my English, you may make your adjustments.

Yes, but look at the PSS A320 ground idle fuel flows, they are way too high. I would submit they have not solved the problem.My recommendation is just to accept this little "bug" and enjoy the fidelity that is available for the remaining 95% of the flight.Kevin in CYOW

BozhanJust tried it and it works great! Thanks
