August 18, 20205 yr just tried a couple flights with the G36 and was unable to climb above 4500 ft without stalling. gear up. flaps up. full power. 60% fuel. Am i missing something?

August 23, 20205 yr For those wishing to increase the G36 performance, try these settings in the flight_model .cfg/FLIGHT TUNING. Clb @ 1250fpm 130knts ias at normal MP and Prop pitch.

August 23, 20205 yr You know about the prop rpm handle? (Not the throttle) Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Gomoto
August 23, 20205 yr You need to set the rpm with the prop rpm handle, only increasing throttle will not give you full power.
August 23, 20205 yr Just now, Gomoto said: You need to set the rpm with the prop rpm handle, only increasing throttle will not give you full power. Quite aware of that

It feels like the engine needs more HP.. Edit: Also look at engines.cfg and try [PISTON_ENGINE] power_scalar = 1.1 ; Piston power scalar, was 1.0 maybe back off the drag numbers a bit.. Edit: Just tried 0.8 and 1.2 for drag, and 1.1 for engine.. seems to work a lot better 🙂 Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Bert Pieke Bert

Turbocharging makes it a Rocket. It's actually quite enjoyable to fly, now.🙂 Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Adrian123 thought

They feel like the Citation X engines on steriods right now.
August 23, 20205 yr It's tricky to determine if it's drag or power or both. Jet powered aircraft even more so. But i'm far from an expert. Just an old tweaker from way back in the freeware aircraft only days before professional 3rd party developers.. Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Adrian123
