  1. Finn,

    I think Simon has it right: the error is in the fuel type and the weight difference assumed by FSX.

    I also came across this: http://www.ov-10bronco.net/faq.cfm

    Under the weapons question (oddly enough), I found this: "The centerline station (only) can carry one 150 US gallon or one 230 US gallon drop tank. The under wing hardpoints can each carry a 100 US gallon drop tank. The five self sealing bladder wing tanks totalled 252 US gallons."

    And also this: "The cargo capacity of an OV-10A is 3,200 pounds and 110 cubic feet." Interesting.

  2. Immediately after picking up the crew and taking off the second time, I lose power and get the Flying Tip that the engine mixture is not set correctly. Nothing seems to correct the condition.

    The mixture is set to AUTO RICH. AUTO LEAN does not correct the problem.

    Power is set correctly, i.e. 35" MP and 2300 RPM. Airspeed 95 KIAS. Cowl gills are open.

    I have tried with and without carburetor anti-ice set to hot. Other anti-ice features have no effect.

    I also considered the possibility that I'd fouled the plugs while waiting for the crew to load at the dock, and kept the RPMs above 1000 when flying the mission again. Still lost power shortly after takeoff.

    Any thoughts?

  3. Mike,

    I can live with agreeing to disagree...from a mission creation standpoint, what you're saying is undoubtedly true.

    Gilles and I do have that question remaining, however -- will there be a fix for the existing mission, and will subsequent missions for the PBY be usable by those of us who do not have Acceleration installed?
