January 29, 201214 yr Before the last update ITT was never a problem, always down in the green, but now when I take off and climb I find I'm not able to get the torque up where it should be. On the real world site, he said he took off at 1000lbs MFP, then up to 1200lbs after pulling the RPM back to 2050. All I can get is 850lbs before exceeding ITT limits. The plane climbs but not very fast, 1000fpm? Am I perhaps doing something wrong, or is this correct?
January 29, 201214 yr That's weird as there has been no change to the FDE since the release version. There's still a problem if the OAT is higher than ISA, but this will be fixed in the next update (might be available as early as tomorrow)Presently at SL and at ISA you can set the 1315ft-lb max torque without exceeding the ITT limit Edited January 29, 201214 yr by bstolle
January 30, 201214 yr Author I may have solved my own issue. This morning I took off from MYEM (in the Bahamas) and decided to ignore the ITT. Instead of climbing out at 1000 to 1500fpm, I went for 2000fpm, with 1200lbs MP and 1250 torque initially, and tried to hold it at 140kts. The 140kts is the thing I wasn't doing before, I was much faster. Apparently it's better to climb more steeply and keep her right at 140 knots, because the ITT stayed in the lower 600's, and the P46T rocketed up to FL200 like it's supposed to. I was going too fast and climbing too slowly before...I guess.
January 30, 201214 yr Author Yes, I'm sorry, I got my numbers screwed up. I'm taking of at the recommended 1000lbs MP & full RPM, then after the gear & flaps are up pulling the RPM back to 2050, and the torque up to 1200. What I was doing before was climbing at just 1000fpm and getting over 700 ITT at these settings, now that I'm climbing at 2000fpm or better and keeping my speed down to 140kts (as recommended) the ITT is easily kept in range. In short I was going too fast & climbing too slowly for those settings.
