[*Buzzsaw*]

Salute Firehawk

The game is screwy in non-CEM mode. Full power is difficult to get.

Suggest you learn how to use CEM. Not as difficult as you think.

Here are my recommendations for the game as it is currently (and inaccurately) modelled.

These are for the Rotol Hurricane, but similar results can be obtained from the two speed version.


Sustained Climb setting for Hurricane when CEM is on:

+3 boost, full rich mix, 2650 rpm, full rad open, Prop pitch full fine


Slow Cruise setting for Hurricane when CEM is on:

+0 boost, lean mix, 2650 rpm, 1/2 rad open, Prop pitch coarse


Fast Cruise setting for Hurricane when CEM is on:

+1 boost, full rich mix, 2650 rpm, Rad open 1/2, Prop pitch coarse


Sustained Combat setting for Hurricane when CEM is on:

+3 boost, full rich mix, 2800 rpm, full rad open, Prop pitch full fine


Full Combat setting for Hurricane when CEM is on: (use for 5 minutes)

+4 boost, full rich mix, 3000 rpm, full rad open, Prop pitch full fine


Emerg Combat setting for Hurricane when CEM is on: (use only for 1 minute at a time)

+6 boost, full rich mix, 3000 rpm, full rad open, Prop pitch full fine

In most cases, you are best to decide on your settings in combat, and leave them, just fly the plane, don't be playing with the boost and rpm unless you are in a difficult situation. I usually enter combat with settings on my 'Full Combat', then drop them to 'Sustained Combat' after 5 minutes, then back up to 'Full Combat' after a break of a couple minutes. I use 'Emerg Combat' only when absolutely necessary.

Remember when you reduce RPM's boost rises, when you increase RPM's, it drops, so you need to be careful and adjust your boost throttle when you adjust RPM. (pitch)
