nightowl56 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Is there a listing of speeds to use for realistic operations? are the speeds listed (FS9 aircraft file using TTools) ground or air speed; or does it matter. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The speed listed in the aircraft txt is the cruise speed for that flight; you can alter it, but keep it reasonable for that aircraft. This may help - https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?306879-AI-actual-cruise-speed-and-cruise-speed-given-in-config-file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It is often the cruise speed given in the aircraft config file that is not reasonable. The aerosoft floats Beaver has a cruise speed of 135, while 110 is more like the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadlzfw Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Speaking of which... For the default AI aircraft, is there a way to adjust max cruise altitude? It bugs me to hear a report of traffic, a Cessna Caravan (which is unpressurized) up at 10-14 kft altitude. Surely real operators are seldom if ever flying such a plane that high and needing oxygen. Can I revise the aircraft.cfg to limit altitude to, say, 8k? Nadlzfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Well, while not likely, it is also not entirely impossible. Flying up at 15,000 gets a lot more miles per gallon out of that engine, and there is enough oxygen to go on with, topping it up with a bottled supply for 5 minutes before you carry out system checks every half hour. Not unreasonable to fly at 10,000 for a while without oxygen of any sort; I have. Though not to save fuel, it was a Cessna 150! Just curiosity.

JSMR Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I flew in a Caravan in Australia a couple times. Pilot said without oxygen, by law they were limited to a max of 10,000ft. Also annoys me that a lot of airlines are flying at the 33-35000ft mark. I think I did change the 737's and a few others to fly 37-39. Not sure what weights they model them though. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If you know how to edit flight plans all that can be remedied, but if there are lots of plans it can be a daunting task. On the other hand I've seen flight plans where an aircraft is flying a short hop and in the plan it is programmed to go to 30 plus thousand feet, course as it is climbing the ATC tell it to descend as it is getting closer to its destination.

JSMR Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's cool when you get some of the rare default in there. I thought I removed them but every and then I hear them flying around. Just a couple weeks ago ATC was telling the Jenny that it's below its altitude. I think I heard it repeat it about 20 times. :D https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
