November 17, 201213 yr Anyone know what lines in the aircraft config I would edit to reduce the power. In my opinion, it is way overpowered in it's current state.
November 18, 201213 yr Try: [piston_engine] power_scalar = 1.125 //Piston power scalar was 1.0 As you can see, I actually increased the power... but try 0.90 or 0.80 to reduce power.. Bert
November 21, 201213 yr Hi Bert, May I ask why you increased the power without sounding obvious lol. I assume in your opinion it was underpowered and the increase was more true to life. Dave
November 21, 201213 yr Dave, I have never flown a Piper Arrow, but yes, I felt it could use some more power.. In the real world, I might have taken it to the shop for some engine tuning.. Bert
November 22, 201213 yr Oooh it was the Arrow... The PA-28 is a big family I thought he meant the Cherokee or Archer. Dave
November 22, 201213 yr I'm absolutely with you Dave ...... I reduced the power scalar on the Cherokee and Archer to 0.85 to give a better reflection of the 140-160hp PA28 models I've flown in real life, and their sluggishness! The Arrow is a different beast. :smile: George Retired RW ATP (DHC8-1/2/3, B737-3/4/5, A320), 5240h... now permanently grounded by Diabetes. www.diabetes.org.uk
November 22, 201213 yr I will follow this advice also. I own a 150 hp Cherookee and I also think it is over powered. I usually run base and final at 1300 RPM in real life and I need to go much lower in the sim to get a reasonnable rate of descent. PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...
