I found that engine efficiency drops as you ascend to a higher altitude while I was testing my Concorde.
You see that afterburners work well at low altitude.
Unexpectedly, when I cruise the plane to altitude of 55000~60000 ft (which is the cruise ceiling of the real plane), the speed never exceeds 1000mph, and the afterburners don't seem working properly.
But, the speed goes beyond 1000 when flying at 30000ft altitude.
Is it supposed to happen in real world or it's a game bug?
@QingyuZhou
Yeah XD@Davisplanez
@QingyuZhou feeeyeeeewww...
1100 for now, but if you get rid of all the interior details there would be only 400. @Davisplanez
huh! (by the way, how many parts?)
No i've solved the problem already. Lol@ForeverPie
Are you accepting testers?
well duh, your engines arent getting as much air as they would at sea level, thats why
Usually adding more air intakes works. Replace some bits of fuselage around the plane which cause drag with inlets.
Ok @EpicPigster1 @Tully2001
Hmmm, maybe you can set an AG to a hidden engine that when pressed would help it accelerate at high altitude...
Yeah your concorde really flies well at high altitude! I may wanna add more powerful engines lol. But my plane's low speed abilities and landing are better & smoother than yours, imo. @grantflys
@QingyuZhou That’s fine. It should increase, shouldn’t it? The Concorde has the ability to “super cruise”, which means it shouldn’t need to use after burner to at least maintain its cruise speed. Mine has the ability to do this, you just have to be patient. If I were you I’d make the engines more powerful to compensate for the extra drag created by the interior because there’s no such thing as windows in SP.
@grantflys
I might test out your concorde to see if this happens
I guess thats a problem that you just have to deal with. There is no way to avoid this in SP.
But air pressure is a lot lower, and the Concorde is supposed to be flying at that altitude. @FlyingThings
I think thats supposed to happen, because the higher you go the less oxygen the engines have to work with.
