How do you lean the engine? - RV-6

Featured Replies

In game, there is no much difference, just maybe slight better performances at higher altitudes
I wouldn't have got to the volcano top without leaning out the mixture, definite performance loss.Could maybe have climbed in opposite direction eventually, but definitely not following the slope!CheersKeith

In game: Try this. Do a biplane tour on the big island. Take off, leave the mixture full rich and press N to jump to the next waypoint. If the waypoint is at altitude, such as the observatory, your engine will quit from being over-rich, as many people have found out.The P-51 has a very narrow band on the mixture where the engine will run at 35,000 feet.Hook

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

P51's engine is way more complex for exploitation than maule's engine, and in game its simplified too much, so lets not compare it.

And it's not like you can check anything on the P-51's gauges...

Automixture setting will do the trick.Ray

the mixture doesn't seems to affect the manifold pressure in the RV-6. And no EGT gauge, kinda a pity cause I don't always like to have my volume blasting to lean the engine....
