Hi All,
The trouble with flying at higher flight levels (>FL200) is because the connie flight model is not equipped with turbocharged engines as it should! Indeed the engines were notorious for blown turbo's! The supercharger gauge on the engineer's panel is non-functional.
Fortunately for acceleration owners there is a solution: in this version of FSX supercharging-turbocharging can be activated, although only automatic....
With this you can reach FL300 without any problems.
I'll post the modification to the aircraft.cfg file later tonight.

Hi All,
To activate the superchargers replace (cut and paste) the piston engine section in the aircraft.cfg by this modification:
[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 1 cylinder_displacement = 185.95 compression_ratio = 6.5 number_of_cylinders = 18 max_rated_rpm = 2800 max_rated_hp = 2200 fuel_metering_type = 2 cooling_type = 0 normalized_starter_torque = 0.033 turbocharged = 0 supercharged = 1 supercharger_boost_low_end = 1.00 supercharger_boost_high_end = 5.10 supercharger_power_cost = 0.22 max_design_mp = 46 min_design_mp = 9 critical_altitude = 13500 emergency_boost_type = 0 emergency_boost_mp_offset = 0 emergency_boost_gain_offset = 0 fuel_air_auto_mixture = 0 auto_ignition = 0 emergency_boost_duration = 0 number_of_magnetos = 2 max_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar = 1 idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar = 1 max_rpm_friction_scalar = 1 idle_rpm_friction_scalar = 1 You will now have automatic supercharging which maintains manufold pressure (don't forget the lean the mixture!) and you can fly at the standard cruise altitude. As far as I know this only works with acceleration.
Enjoy,
Paul

Guys, Constellation wasn't built to fly at FL300 (Ceiling FL240), why should you?
Back in topic, I managed to see radios and A/P caged tooltips. They are not on the popup (SHIFT+2), but only in the VC. |
