Hi People

I Just wondered if you guys had any troubles with climbing after you reach 10, 000ft. Maybe it's just my computer but i'm in my P51d going at  230mph climbing at a good rate and once i reach 10, 000ft the horizon turns in to a literal line and my plane slows down significantly

It might just be my computer but i thought i'd see if you guys had trouble with it to

Cheers
forfun

8)I got pretty much the same thing with my P-51.  I managed to get up to 20,000 or so but it was really struggling.

Have you got the aircraft on automixture or do you perhaps need to lean out a little as you climb...

Not trying to be patronising by the way, I had to be told LOL.

Shift + 2 for the throttle quadrant, then drag the red mixture lever back slowly until you hear the rpm peak. That was what Will meant.
