August 22, 20205 yr hey guys sorry for noob question but when i try to climb out (C172 or Bonanaza) i can barely reach my cruise altitude (FL140). For example now in bonanza with 40% fuel I'm stuck at 10000 cant climb any further. My speed is 130 as recommended in real checklist and I adjusted RPM to 96% and mixture to 40%. Any tips? is this real or bug? also if i stop climb at FL100 I can;t even accelerate anymore. Luka Makhviladze
August 22, 20205 yr I was barely able to reach 8.000 right now in my 172 G1000...mixture was down to 30% already.

August 22, 20205 yr Bonanza is underpowered compared with my experience in V35B. In contrast in 172 performance is not far from real life. Remember that performance drastically affected by ambient temperature, load and propeller type (there 3 common propellers type: cruise prop, climb prop, both of two words) and proper leaning! Cessna 172 POH doesn't provide performance tables above 12000 ft. So 14000 ft is not cruising altitude but a service ceiling.

August 22, 20205 yr @Lukamak It would be unusual to take those aircraft that high given they're not presurised nor turbocharged (engines need to breath just like us). Especially the 172 given it's not all that powerful to start with.

August 23, 20205 yr Both Bonanza's should be able to take off and enter very shallow climb with full throttle and neutral trim, flaps 1. Currently don't show any interest in leaving the ground or even going into ground effect until you pull back or trim up (quite a bit!). LIkewise the climb out requires lots more trim than normal. Same thing on approach and landing in reverse. Think we've been very spoiled by A2A. Still, its only week 1 - if this is our biggest problem then I'm a very happy MSFS camper indeed 🙂 Edited August 23, 20205 yr by RobF2
