Aero Commander 500 - FG speed

This is my favorite aircraft for GA flightnights but I always struggle to keep up at the typical 130 knots etc.

I have tried engine controls (mixture/propellor etc) to no effect.

It says 150 @ 9000'in in the set file

Performance

  • Maximum speed: 215 mph (346 km/h, 187 kn) at sea level (TAS)
  • Cruise speed: 203 mph (326 km/h, 176 kn) at 9,000 ft (2,750 m), 75% power, TAS
  • Stall speed: 68 mph (109 km/h, 59 kn) flaps and landing gear down, CAS
  • Minimum control speed: 75 mph (121 km/h, 65 kn)
  • Range: 1,078 mi (1,735 km, 936 nmi)
  • Service ceiling: 19,400 ft (5,913 m)
  • Rate of climb: 1,340 ft/min (6.8 m/s)

Any ideas?

  • Hello mate. That's rather odd.

    Can you get me a screenshot of the cockpit at say 5,000ft and full throttle after 2 mins? Not sure what I'll be able to see but there might be something

  • Been increasing the cruise-speed="300" makes no different.

    Climbing reduces the speed to about 70knots

  • Set the cruise speed to 196 knt in the yasim.xml...that should helps, Oly


  • If it is your fav GA Aircraft you have to try my sound paket.


  • Hi Eagle

    Yes I have already tried changing the cruise speed in the set file and it did not change the the upper speed range much.

  • Sorry I have already tried 300 knots in the yasim.xml which did not allow for higher speed.

  • Hi Oly,

    Hmm that's weird...it works for me....try my yasim.xml file...and let me know if speed is growing up.

    Works for me too, noticeable increase in airspeed/climb rate. With your sound files it's a far better aircraft, thank you.


  • Wonderful...wonderful...it works...and thank you too, Actor.


    Maybe I had changed a bit more in the yasim.xml...can't remember...it's too far ago.
