Hi: I'm new here and find this website just terrific.

Denis, welcome to SimV

The Mooney, like many other aircraft, has a 'constant speed prop'. You'll find an additional engine control, a blue knob labled 'Prop', that controls the governed rpm.

The sim's Learning Center>Key Topics>Controlling the Engine has a good explaination of the function of the constant speed prop in your power management.

The move from simple, General Aviation Aircraft, fixed prop, fixed landing gear, up to more "Complex" types.....!

As Dave has mentioned, definitely a time to learn all about the intricacies of constant speed props, and retractable landing gear, etc...etc...step by step....!

Lots of really interesting "stuff" to learn on the way.....!

All adds to the enjoyment of the Sim once you have mastered it!......!

Thanks !      (I'm always lurking about  ;)  )

Bret: Thanks for the tutorial link. I've bookmarked and will study it later today. This simulation thing is misnamed. It's no "game" as many have described it. Definitely an intellectual challenge. I wish I had known about it years ago.

Denis

Feel free to ask questions in that thread  :)

I'll keep an eye on it..

Some of us don't have the intellect to challenge it. Guilty as charged, your Honor...

I guess I don't get the sarcasm (if that's what the post was).
Denis

May be that these posts may themselves become an intellectual challenge!

Hello Denis... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

No sarcasm intended, I can assure you......

..after a while in Sinviation, you get to recognise all the various sorts rich Humour which constantly flows through the many Threads, minute by minute.....!

Its one of the many reasons why Simviation is so popular with everyone who visits......!

.. on rare occasions we also get to learn something useful... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]....!

In the meantime we get the chance to have a laugh and a joke with each other...which cheers us up, and brightens up our every day!... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004.....and a laugh a minute!.. ...!

Paul: Please excuse my last posts. Rather frustrated because I've landed the Mooney the last few flights with the gear up. As I say, FS is an intellectual challenge!

PS  I am new to both flight sim and this room so forgive me if I act like an idiot.
