Yeah - that’s the fun of it - plan your route of flight as you would a real world flight - with all the inherent limitations - sorry - I’m not flying at FL180 in an unpressurized single engine piston... I understand - some may want an option and that’s all good... None of the A2A GA birds have a turbo to make those altitudes more practical...

Marc - do you happen to own a registered copy of FSUIPC?

Thanks,
Nick

yup...

Some nasty advice here?

Pretty true, I guess.. But where's the fun (not to offend anyone) in having the possibility to really get the last reserve out of an accusimed airplane and not to do it? I've never had any engine trouble as I preflight every time, run my engine well inside their limits.. but I think it would give me some nice experience to really get everything out of those engines.. Try out what is actually possible with or without full tanks.. Anyone can bring a 737 to FL410. But how high can I fly the accusimed Bonanza or the carburated Comanche?

There's a video on YT from Guido Warnecke flying a turbo 182 up the I think FL190.. I do want to try things like that xD

I fully agree, if you plan a realistic flight picking up your girlfriend in Seattle and bring her to Aspen for a weekend on Skis you wont torture her if you still want to have fun at the après ski party.

Yeah, check out this topic if you're interested in adding a 'cheating oxygen supply' using FSUIPC.

A couple of years ago (and before I was hired by A2A I should add) I suggested a small Lua script based on regular requests to be able to 'turn off' the hypoxia effect. You're welcome to give it a try if you want to experiment with some higher altitude stuff.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks a lot, I‘m going to try it tomorrow
