Howdy guys,

Just thinking after a friend asked for some help just now, could anyone post the tweek for the Thrust Scalar section of the .cfg as I can't for the life of me remember....

Cheers,
|Alex|  ;D

It depends..  Open the aircraft.cfg file (after backing it up) with NotePad...

In a jet, look for this line..

[jet_engine]
thrust_scalar = 1.0


For a prop plane, this line..

[propeller]
thrust_scalar = 1.0  


Increase/decrease the  1.0  by 0.05 increments..

Careful though, as realism suffers.

Which plane's thrust do you want to change, and why ?

I think its just a few POSKY birds, but thanks for the Tweek Brett  ;)

By coincidence, I needed this tweak for some POSKY planes, which could not fly above about 28,000 feet..they just struggled endlessly with a high angle of attack and would stall by this altitude

Some Poskys have a little trouble in this area. Others take off like rockets, so need to have the thrust reduced...
