I followed this steps and got me really mater the same time with the boost turned

But I managed only 280mph with the airplane trimmed

Hi Condor,

You can take the rpm up to 3000rpm for a short period as I did in the video. This would give you a few more mph for a very short time.

The main thing is that the plane is much 'slippier' and can maintain a lot of energy even in a vertical climb.

Rather than outright top speed, try following a 109 vertically upward. You'll stay with him far easier with these settings.

Thanks for posting!

Yes, the main thing is that it retains energy better like this. It is still 40mph too slow in outright speed though.

What about the mixture, I see in your video that the mixture is fully forward, is not that running lean? When I retard the the throttle to idle the mixture is connected follows the throttle back to the rich setting?

Thanks!

Hi Svanen, yes it is in fully lean, which is incorrectly modelled currently in the game. Use rich (fully back) mixture in 'normal boost' mode (<6.25lbs), but when engaging 'emergency boost' (>6.25lbs), change to weak 'fully forward' mixture. If you throttle back in flight, you'll need to adjust mixture back to the lean or 'weak' setting as you throttle back up.

The mixture settings do seem to vary in effect in different models though, but I've yet to do a mixture settings test on all models. Certainly this works in the 100oct.

Thanks for prompting this point!

Ok, thanks, I think I understand but what do you mean with incorrectly modeled? If the mixture is fully back it should be rich, is not that correct?
