• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Engine damage

The biggest problem with the way CHT is computed by FS is that it is primarially related on the heat generating side to RPM. I believe this is a throwback to many assumptions in early FS days, using a small fixed pitch prop driven aircraft where this might be somewhat true. Airspeed is taken into account in the "cooling factor" scalar in the .air file, but with a constant speed prop one can be in the strange situation in FS of generating a CHT overheat at slow speeds on approach with low MP but high RPM.

Most FS operators ignore CHT, ot the values generated in most phases of flight are too low so it is never an issue. It would have been perhaps better if the heat generating side of CHT were linked to EGT...

Someone uploaded it to Simviation, too (I'm assuming you)..

Well.. actually I didn't. And the readme and manual are pretty clear that upload is only allowed to flightsim, SOH and avsim... :173go1:

I'm not surprised it can be found on some ill-reputed sites like fsplanet.
I'm more surprised to find it at simviation, which seems to be a sensible site. I hope that has just slipped through the review process.

Thanks for the HU regarding the discussion!
