BAC 1-11 underpowered/overheating?
Posted: 23 Jun 2020, 16:20
Hi all,
with the upcoming release of FS2020, I am getting back into FSX, and as an old-bird enthusiast, I can't pass up on the DMSim 1-11. Everything is working great, however even with less powerful engines than the Srs 500, the engines actually overheat easier on the Srs 200, meaning I have to pull back on the thrust even more. This results in very long take offs and initial climb rates of only 500ft/m. This is with a payload of about 74,000lbs, so quite heavy. Due to the water methanol running out quickly after lift off, it doesn't help the climb at all. I'm wondering if there is a way to reduce the temperate slightly, as I can't even climb at 94% N1, as recommended, without overheating.
As well as this, I looked at the AIR file, and found that the static thrust of 10,410lbs is only reached at 110 N1, which is never reached. I have to initially takeoff and climb with ~90% N1 to avoid overheating, which on the air file only gives a thrust factor of 0.56, or 5,230lbs. If I could avoid an overheat at 95% N1, I would have a thrust factor of 0.75, or ~7,800lbs at my disposal.
So basically, my question is how do I reduce the heating effect of the engines?
