Mountain Rescue Mission

[drummer_tom]

On this mission I deliver the supplies to the campers (just) then accpet the challenge to help the stranded person at medical. However I just can't get there. I have real trouble taking off and then I can't climb. I just loose to much speed and end up stalling.

Any tips? EXCEPT not accpepting the challenge.

Gradually climb.

yeah thats what i did, i ended up going around in circles for quite a while, because the air is thin you may also have to turn down your VS a bit.

Am I being stupid if I ask what VS is?

He's referring to Vertical Speed. Shallow your climb a bit....

Ah yes. I realised the meaning of VS soon after I started the mission again!

I have now completed said mission even if it did take ages  ;D

Ah I remember this mission, I could hardly climb to the first camp... until I realize that I was using manual engine mixture... set it up (I mean, down...) correctly and my engine felt immediately better ... but then again, this climbing to 14.000 feet (correct ?) was very hard, and I was very worried upon landing. Nice challenge, for sure.

Do you mean I should have done something with the mixture control? (Red knob)?
