Complex Engine Management & planes limits

[MD_Wild_Weasel]

hi guys, very interesting reads. 2 things regarding the Blenheim and full CEM........
1) Has anyone elses CEM controls on the bottom left hand side dissapeared?
All i have left is the throttle controls. PP, Carb heaters and mixture sliders have all gone.
2) Finnaly got her off the ground and flying sweet till i go through a cloud. Then my windscreen freezes up and the revs fluctuate and die. Cloud level is about 2500ft. I manged to recover engine stability by dropping almost to ground level(once). How can i combat this? Sorry im not a pilot so this is a steep learning curve for me if this is a stupid question.

cheers

Bearing in mind I'm still working on getting off the ground....

The CEM controls are part of an "info window". You've managed to close it some how, but you can make a new one, and it's up to you if you want a grphic showing control positions or just % numbers.

Your engines died in the cloud because your carberetters froze in the cloud - you have to heat the carbs, and the controls are down by your left hip behind the pilots seat, you'll have to wiggle a bit as a Track IR user to see them.

cheers for that Seeker, I will have to bind a key for the carb heaters as as you said they are a pain in the behind to get to! LOL.
What about the windscreen freezing up? is there a key?

Check you've got the Z axis enabled in Track-ir, then lean forward and breathe very hard on the screen.

This only works if you've got FFB enabled..

LOL! That made my day.

Great info in this thread too lads, thanks a lot!

I don't know weather is it like by all of you guys or not but I love the wing design for complex engine planes. Wing design in Flight cycle limits is always my first attraction.

One more thing for Redroach, leaning is process of success that is never ever stop. We just need to open our self for learning every moment. You are so right we don't have to resist our self for learning.

Great post. My best read since long on this Forum (including my own post ) - Thx BlkDg

As there is no warm air being vented in the 'pit I wld suggest to open the side windows once out of cloud.
