vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 7. "RE: Proposed Route Feb 15 0300z Mul..." 02-11-04, 00:13z  I agree with Ben's post - lets fly yours this week and mine next. I wanted to go from Tahoe but it's just a bit too long for our time. Since this is a sim, the easiest way in this a/c to select the correct mixture is by ear. Start leaning out the mixture until the rpm just starts to drop, then increase a smidge. In a decent model, this will give you the best fuel consumption and the most power. This does not take into account any prop settings. You should easily get 325kts out of the P-38 night model. If you want to get a wee bit more, fly with half the fuel load. You can always use WEP ( war emergency power ) for a few minutes to speed up. I think that part of the fun of the P-38 model is tweaking the mixture, etc to get the best out of it. I flew my route the other night, with real world weather ( relatively clear ) and it took me 41 minutes t/o to touchdown on rwy 11. Since this weekend is your flight, you get to lead <G>!! cya, Vic -= VPC OffLine Reader 2.1 =- Registered to: Vic Baron -OLR.PL v1.83- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
