Hi everyone,

I use the fs2002 not pro, suddenly all the piston engine planes have a lack of power. This doesn't allow them to reach even 10k feet. I don't know what is to blame, the last windows update or the S43 addon for FS2004 that I tried to run on fs2002.

Does anybody know what could be the problem?

A silly thought but have you turned auto-mixture off? If you have and you're not doing it manually this could cause problems...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

as a real world pilot cessna 172 piper arrow archer etc. i can tell you the mixture is key here.if you dont lean out as you get higher your engine will drown in a rich fuel mixture as ozzy indicated ..also the service ceiling for most small piston aircraft is 14000 feet.and after that there just isent enough air for the pistons to keep going..so your simulator is simulateing this correctly..
