How do I de-rate my Carenado Cherokee 180 to 160 hp?

Postby Mr._Ryan » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:36 pm

I bought the Carenado Cherokee 180 a while ago and never fly it after I bought the DreamFleet Dakota. However, I'm now taking real lessons and I'm taking them in a 140 that they put a 160 in, so now I want to de-rate my 180 down to 160. Get all that?  :D

I have the AcftCfgEditor program if that helps. Can someone tell me how to do that? I tried in the past to push the 180 up to 235 to no avail. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!

just saying dont. ive tried that to a different plane a mooney acclaim to its real specs long story short engine was running at 500 rpm at full throttle but if you say so.

1. back up .cfg
2.Go to piston engine data and change max rated hp from 180 to 160 thats all if i am wront some one correct me
3. check if it works
4. remember failure is always an option
