"...until something fails or wears down, theoretically the engine could keep running forever..."

Doesn't that apply to everything ever built?

CH,

Part of the acceleration problem I was having was that I was actually paying attention to staying out of the red area on the temperature gauges by keeping the throttle setting at the top of the yellow range. I had memories of flying David Maltby's BAC-111, in which too long a throttle setting ...

True. Thanks, Dave.

Without actually admitting that I have an ATP, the reason my Trident either kept falling out of the sky or refused to accelerate was because I misunderstood the sim's flap and slat controls. Let's just call it "instructor error" and keep this all to ourselves.

Hi Ralph,

Did you add Frazier's panel to the airplane or did the model come with it? If you added it, did you have any problems prior to installing it? If the latter, I suggest you remove Frazier's panel, download a fresh copy, and reinstall it again. Maybe the panel picked up an eveil spirit ...

I'm having a problem with David Maltby's HS Trident 3. His after-takeoff check calls for flaps up at 190 kts and slats up at 225. But in order to accelerate to those speeds, I have to level off ! The engines appear to be developing full power; I have to retard the throttles a bit to keep the temps ...

I have two external drives on each of two computers. I alternate backups ...

FSRealWX (it's free) has a place where you can set turbulence levels. It gets pretty lively and realistic in thunderstorms. Look for the red areas on weather radar maps. Then take off from (and return to land at!) the nearest airport or one inside the storm area.
