Losing airspeed when climbing

Featured Replies

Just a guess, but I suspect he turned off the weather effects in FSUIPC.  Go check out recent posts on the Hifi forums.

 

It's really hard to tell what his problem might have been.  IAS vs TAS?  Failure to lean a piston engine?  Doesn't know that aircraft fly slower when climbing?  Aircraft building up ice due to a thick atmospheric icing layer (you lose prop efficiency and lift if it ices up)?  "Poor climb performance" is kinda generic.

I must have missed it, but I can't even find the aforementioned Hifi forums....

Okay, for some reason, I thought it was part of the AVSIM forums, but apparently not. In any case, as I am not a registered user of that forum, it isn't allowing me to view the thread.

Well, have you registered yet?  It's worth it if only to be able to submit a support ticket.  Besides, there's some good information there.

I did not. I don't use their software, so I didn't think it would make sense to do so. It says "For registered customers only", so presumably I would need some sort of serial number or something for them to verify that I am an actual customer, which I obviously wouldn't have.
