By the time I have climbed to 11,000ft, level and set the plane to CRZ, Prop set to AUTO, Throttle in the white zone (NOTCH, around 66 on the Throttle) the Torque readout is at 73.5% in both engines.
I can maintain about 207/248 (ias/tas) with the above settings. That’s ok.
BUT, that’s about it. I barely increase the Throttle and the Torque is in the Yellow Zone (at 77% Torque to be exact).
I encounter problems like this when trying to Climb at 170ias at 1200fpm (down to 800fpm) to 20K. I understand some feel this aircraft may be underpowered and of course gross weight is a factor. But my issue is with the Torque. I wonder that my aircraft is entering the Yellow Zone too early.
From what I’ve seen with a few tutorials about the FS2020/2024 ATR72 and I think the Torque’s Green Zone extends quite a bit further. Am I correct on that?
If this is not right, what could possibly be the cause? Is there anything in EFB Thrust Settings that would make a difference?
Is there some engine setting somewhere on the Overhead or Dash Panels?
I don’t go thru a Startup with my planes. I have fs2024 set to start on the runway with engines running.
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
