Skkuda 10 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yes I want to know about those knobs.....when turned all the way to the right they open or close cowl flaps? because its difficult to me from an external view realize about cowl flaps open or close position. In fact it seems I never overheat this machine but Im having a great degree of luck Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it seems I never overheat this machine but Im having a great degree of luck Cheers Easy to check those cowl flaps: at external view if you see the engines (cylinders) then the cowl flaps is opened, if you didn't see anything, then your cowl flaps is closed. The oil cowl flaps is an other story...those flaps is not visible in the FSX external view...as far as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeLeclercq 0 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Your Cylinder-head temperature seems a "littlebit" high... Thanks a lot, I flew over an hour watching the engine temperature. I noticed it was flying faster than 150 km/h so that the temperature is correct.(air flow faster?)
