About This File

FSX Piper Comanche And Cherokee Six MOI Update. Piper PA-24 Comanche and PA-32 Cherokee Six "Moments Of Inertia" updates, are optional replacements to those AIRCRAFT.CFG files you have flying today. The Piper airplanes that were "tuned up" (by AIRCRAFTEDITORV1-1.ZIP) was an effort to bring performance data within published V-speeds, etc. The Piper Commanches and the Cherokee Six's (uploaded by me) have been re-evaluated from the original configurations (which are also provided as AIRCRAFT_Org.CFG files) and test flights were better than those provided in their original form. For example; the Comanche 400 now cruses at published 185 Knots (212 MPH) which earlier I found difficult to achieve. Another thing I discovered while "tuning up" the constant-speed airplanes was the need to "Square up" the manifold pressure on the PA-32 Cherokee Six's as in 2,500 RPM and a manifold at 25-Inches gave the best speed and fuel rate burn within reason (18 GPH). The Piper Comanches (PA-24's) I found the PDF Checklist suggested 21-Inch manifold pressures to a tach readings of 2,500 - 2,600 gave the best speed and fuel (17 GPH) burn rate. Installation of these tune ups, just select the airplane you'd like to update and copy the Aircraft.CFG files over your existing files. If you liked what you had, remove AIRCRAFT.CFG and rename AIRCRAFT_Org.CFG to AIRCRAFT.CFG. MOI Tune Ups by Ron Prindle.

Ron, the Cherokee 150 does fly better. Thanks. It still seems a little slippery, and so I may up the drag a bit.

Ok on that, frankly I am still reviewing all the parameters even today!

The more I fly these simulations, the more I want to verify the data!

If you come up with anything worth trying, let me know! Ron P.
