I am following the manual for the StratoCruiser, I can get airborne and, just about, accelerate to 150 KIAS, but even with all the engines at the red line I cannot get above 150 KIAS even in level flight. Aircraft gross weight is about 120,000 Lbs.
Any ideas?

Re: 377 won't accelerate
Try using the key "/" or whatever is set as default for spoiler. Had this once in FSX and was wondering too.

Cowl flaps? I had them far too open trying to take off and failed miserably to make much headway. Then I read the instructions...

The only thing the manual says about them for take off is "Cowl flaps set for take off"Mickel wrote:Cowl flaps? I had them far too open trying to take off and failed miserably to make much headway. Then I read the instructions...
Not exceptionally helpful
Re: 377 won't accelerate
There's a placard on the flight engineers panel which states how wide the cowl flaps should be opened at a definite OAT on takeoff.

Brilliant, between cowl flaps and spoilers I flew her London to Manchester today.
Thanks everybody
