    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Tweaking the Engine Response time

Hi im looking at tweaking the engine response time in an F86 and was woundering if anyone had any tips


thanks
 
Tweaking the response time.. as in more instantaneous reaction when you get behind the power curve and need to catch it before sinking into the trees?

Alas, jet engines don't respond like a piston engine and it takes a bit of time to "spool up" - which is why the need for stabilized approaches and maintaining sufficient power (typical is 75%) until the runway is assured. Speed is normally controlled by pitch, configuration and, in some, the variable use of speedbrakes.

.. or were you looking for a 'magic bullet' to help you beat that pesky MiG? :adoration:
 
Aircraft.cfg: fuel_flow_gain

Higher number: Quicker response
Lower number: Slower respone
Too low: Engine will flame out

But it is always best, of course, to just accept that some engines are like they are.
 
The engine in that F-86 freeware is pretty well spot on if that is one you are talking about...

if it's the milviz F-86, I would recommend just learning how to fly the engine in this bird. It will give you way more satisfaction. However....If you're trying to "Simulate" an Avon powered Sabre....that's a cool idea!
