Over speed warning

[ralphie1313]

Is there any way to turn off the overspeed warning sounds like on commerical planes like a 747 ?

Fly slower or higher. Other than that, I don't know. :p

Perhaps on realism settings??

Thing is, I think that will just stop the plane from getting damaged. Not actually stop the warning bells.

Set to IAS, get the speed right.

Or you can fly it right, just like a real pilot.

Remember to set Mach as the speed and altitude rise... 23,000 ft is about correct.

As speed gets over Mach 0.9, drag increases enormously. Shock waves will begin to build on some parts of the aircraft. This can result in severe buffeting that could damage the aircraft. Read about Convair's experience in this Mach zone. If you  are getting overspeed on descent, begin  your descent farther from the airport, so that you can maintain a controlled rate of descent.

Excellent advice. Planning your approach well in advance of an arrival is key to a safe and stress free cockpit.

Sim aircraft do not model well the real world dynamics of near/trans-Mach airflow, other than some buffeting a speed warnings.

What many are not aware of is the high speed considerations of rotorcraft. The two most common issues are the advancing blade acceding Mach (the LOUD popping sound of a Huey in a tight higher G turn), and retreating blade stall. Think of the speed of the rotor tip as it turns on the ground, and then add forward airspeed. You can easily reach Mach at the blade tip with high speeds or increased loads. As the rotorcraft approaches VNE (speed never exceed) the retreating blade, since it is moving away from the airflow, can stall (remember a rotor blade IS an airfoil). This generates buffet, immediate loss of lift, and for single rotor aircraft a rapid roll into the stalled side.

So much going on out there that we can't see. And remember, flying takes skill, hovering takes finesse.

Happy simming!
