i have the Cessna 402, and I know it will cruise at 200kn or so at 24000ft, but i can hardly get it to do 130 at 17000ft... any help with turbo-charging it?
You never know what other places/countries are like untill you travel there. More people should get out of their home contries, just so they can understand/know more of/about the world

Is that 130 knots indicated airspeed?

Or is that 130 knots corrected (actual) airspeed?

You do know that indicated airspeed drops significantly at higher altitudes because of the lower air density, right?

Also, are you running with automixture turned on in the sim, or if not, are you leaning the engine mixture correctly?

Without answers to the above, there's no point in fixing what probably isn't "broken" to begin with!  :D

Have you tried adjusting the pitch on the prop?
