ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Hello, has anyone tried to fly at high flight levels?
I’ve tried to depart SELT Cotopaxi, runway 19 at elev. 9000 ft. According to the manual, I have selected maximum climb, 2235 rpm, full throttle and full rich below 16000 ft.
Doing this, it is impossible to climb, I have to lean the mixture continiously.
Once at FL180, manifold pressure went to 15 inHg, and I was unable to keep a leveled flight.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Cessna 404 MSFS 2024
