Increasing engine power

[Nandan Patel 10]

I want to increase engine power in the aircraft.cfg because my C-130 doesn't increase speed, just slows down, even at 1500ft/min! Can I just know how to increase power so it doesn't stall while climbing etc.Please, just tell me what to change guys...

Whose model are you using? And at what altitude? 1500 FPM is a fairly steep climb for a C-130. Are you sure there's something wrong with the model.?

I'm certainly no expert on this, but I have increased the power to some aircraft by modifying some of the info in the aircraft.cfg. Such as [piston_engine]power_scalar = 1.0 //Piston power scalarcylinder_displacement= 160.0 //Cubic inches per cylindercompression_ratio= 9.1 //Compression rationumber_of_cylinders=8 //Number of cylindersmax_rated_rpm= 2750 //Max rated RPMmax_rated_hp= 315 //Max rated HP [Reference Speeds]flaps_up_stall_speed = 54.0 //Knots True (KTAS)full_flaps_stall_speed = 49.0 //Knots True (KTAS)cruise_speed = 185.0 //Knots True (KTAS)max_indicated_speed = 210 //Red line (KIAS) This is from a Cessna 182..I changed.I have copied engine info into aircraft.cfg before, and changed engines. Experiment, just make a backup before making any changes

http://www.airforce.mil.nz/gallery/downloa...lesdownload.htmWhat section of the aircraft.cfg do I modify? I have added an autopilot too...if hat's of any help?And I got this from http://www.planesimulation.com/tips1/tips1.htm-the adding autopilot to props etc part, and used the captain sim [Turbo Prop] section...

Does increasing STATIC THRUST do anything? It's a 5000, what if I increase to 10000 or higher?What does Static Thrust do? Engine section of aircraft.cfg

I suspect you are doing something wrong when attempting to fly this aircraft.

I have a freeware c130, by Vladimir Zhyhulskiy.I checked the info in my aircraft cfg.This is what mine is set to..static_thrust=400.000I'm not certain what it means.Here is some of the aircraft.cfg..[GeneralEngineData]engine_type=5 Engine.0=0.0, -20.5, 0.000Engine.1=0.0, -12.5, 0.000Engine.2=0.0, 12.5, 0.000Engine.3=0.0, 20.5, 0.000fuel_flow_scalar=0.75min_throttle_limit=-0.250000[TurbineEngineData]fuel_flow_gain=0.005inlet_area=1.100rated_N2_rpm=29920.000static_thrust=400.000afterburner_available=0[turboprop_engine]power_scalar=1.0maximum_torque=11124.000max_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.000idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.000max_rpm_friction_scalar=1.000idle_rpm_friction_scalar=1.000[propeller]thrust_scalar=1.25propeller_type=0propeller_diameter=13.280propeller_blades=6propeller_moi=80.000beta_max=45.0beta_min=11.500min_gov_rpm=24994.000prop_tc=0.002gear_reduction_ratio=24.686400fixed_pitch_beta=0.000low_speed_theory_limit=80.000prop_sync_available=1prop_deice_available=1prop_feathering_available=1prop_auto_feathering_available=1min_rpm_for_feather=350.000beta_feather=79.300power_absorbed_cf=0.900defeathering_accumulators_available=0prop_reverse_available=1minimum_on_ground_beta=0.000minimum_reverse_beta=-20.000 Hope that helps some.This c130 flies fine.c130zh.zip http://www.fsdownload.com is where I got mine.

Hi Gus, Yours was a great link too. :( First time I had been there.If I were you Nandan, and the C130 is the only plane you're having trouble with.Download another C130.There's lots of them to choose from.This is my C130.I changed the prop img.The original had a red glow that showed on the props, I didn't like.I changed the cockpit too.The original I didn't like.sc130hpn.zip A good 2D panel.I forget which site it came from.Lots of options available with aircraft! :(
