• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,

can someone tell me please, how I can get more power out of a

piston engine at high altitudes (above 10.000 Feet) via the

aircraft.cfg?

Greetings
 
I give these suggestions with the assumption you are correctly thinning the mixture, either automatically or manually, and are still wanting more performance.

Although I'm not an aircraft developer yet, and based on my real world experience and my novice knowledge of the SDK for Aircraft Container (Aircraft.cfg explanation & syntax), I'd suggest adding the following entries into the [piston_engine] section and tweak them as necessary. These are copies-n-pasted from the SDK...

turbocharged= (0 = FALSE) (1 = TRUE) - Boolean to indicate if the engine is turbocharged

max_design_mp= (inHg) - If a turbocharger is present, this value indicates the maximum design manifold pressure supplied by the turbocharger.

min_design_mp= (inHg) - If a turbocharger is present, this value indicates the minimum design manifold pressure supplied by the turbocharger.

critical_altitude= (feet) - Altitude to which the turbocharger, if present, will provide the maximum design manifold pressure.

OOPS! I thought this was a recent post... not a year old!!!
