Does that include transatlantic air-fares Paul, er, preferably business class?!

Nick

[B-17 Flier]

Yeah....no.

[Nick - A2A]

Ah, well - worth a try! Sounds like you're having fun with the Connie anyway.

I am, it's quite a piece of work. But I can't seem to get it above 12K feet. I have half fuel.

Are the superchargers in "high blower" Paul? If you let the FE handle things, he should tell you at some point to retard the throttles a bit so he can switch them from low to high.

Yes, I just looked. It shows both switches down to the open position.

Never heard him say anything, maybe I missed it. Need subtitles.

It's the four levers you should be looking at on the FE's main console labelled "engine supercharger". See p.130 in the manual for more info!

Thanks Nick, I just now discovered that. Boy, that makes a difference. But I never heard him call that out. Oh well.
