This is not appropriate for the T210N. The POH states full power for takeoff. The relevant line in the POH:
Power --36.5 INCHES Hg and 2700 RPM (5 minute limitation).
NORMALLY you should have to do nothing to set this up other than have the pitch full fine and then advance the throttle somewhat slowly to full throttle. If the aircraft is maintained properly, the wastegate controller will limit the manifold pressure to 36.5" and the prop Constant Speed Unit should control the pitch to maintain 2,700 RPM. By all means check to make sure that is the case and make small adjustments if something is off, but NORMALLY, the systems should manage this properly.
Note that I have a fair number of hours in the older T210H. The engine was a bit different as the maximum MP was 32.5" but the principle was the same and that is how I always flew it.
Note also the 5 minute time limitation on full power, so be sure to reduce to climb power once established in the climb. POH calls for climb power and speed as follows:
NORMAL CLIMB
Airspeed – 105-120 KIAS.
Power – 30 INCHES Hg and 2500 RPM.
Mixture --LEAN to 120 PPH.
You should not have to touch the throttle or RPM lever until you reach your cruise altitude. That is unless you are climbing to like 20,000ft or above! And for a check, I did climb to 20,000ft with the sim aircraft yesterday as soon as I got it and everything worked fiine.
Thank you for bringing your IRL experience and knowledge of the POH into the conversation! As you no doubt realize the context of my post was the pilot who was/is experiencing an unusual yaw dynamic on the takeoff roll and we were trying to see if this was in fact P-factor related, which perhaps it is not. In any case, I stand corrected with respect to your detailed input.
Very quick (one hour) flight over the interminably boring scenery of North and South Dakota (), and as a very quick comment, yes, it does collect a lot of bugs! Overall I like the effect, but it seems overdone in 2024?
Admittedly I have no experience flying over the Dakotas IRL so…
Just took off from Mountain Air 2NC0. 8knts of wind from the left, plane wanted to weather vain into the wind and I had to use full right rudder just to track the runway
If you scroll down, the specs for MSFS (FS2020) are posted below the specs for FS2024. If they’re just using a generic template used for all releases, then this is just sloppy work on the webmaster’s part.
You are correct. I am in error and I apologize for not seeing it correctly, then posting first.
Thank you for helping me see the error. I agree with what you stated regarding potential sloppiness … hoping not.
Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the plane? I cant recall if you did that.
Also, what rudder are you using? I know it works with the other planes, for the sake of completeness try reinstalling that too.
Lastly, the only other thing I can suggest is try taking off in a strong headwind, it looks like it is weather vaning i.e. turning into the headwind without any weather turned on - really odd and out there but give it a go. Do you have any extra weather 3rd party stuff? Could it be that?
I can’t think of anything else to try other than report it to Zendesk.
One thing I wonder (cannot check, do not own the T210), is if they have rudder AND nose wheel steering mapped to the rudder pedals, and carenado might be taking input from both, effectively doubling any user input.
Ok so update: I tried a direct 50 knot headwind and the plane had no issues. This tells me that there is a problem with the flight model with the slightest of crosswinds
Today I took off with a 8 kts off the right wing. To counteract the weathervane, I had to hold right aileron into the wind and apply left rudder. While I was able to take off under control, I do agree that there is a problem here with the magnitude of crosswind effect. This brings me back to the old days of 2020 when I would always choose my departure airport for headwinds.
It’s one of those things that is hard to describe unless its happening to you. It is almost like there is an invisible force pushing my plane with nothing I can do. I tried everything everyone has mentioned.
