Poor Aircraft Performance

Post by webstalle »

X-Plane 10.40 on Windows 7, HD-Mesh v3, CSLs installed. Piper Arrow from vFlyte.
Yesterday, I startet to get my I-5 ticket.
Flight Plan was filed, after checking ATIS I advised clearnace to take the I-5, I got my IFR clearance, taxied to 08 and changed frequency to Tower.
After cleared for take off, I throttled up, RPM was 2750 but acceleration was poor and slow. It took about 15 seconds to even get the 30 knots indication on the Garmin 1000 PFD.
So I aborted take off, informed Tower and left the runway.
After disconnecting, I stopped X-Plane and did a restart on the Windows PC. The next take off without PE Connection worked fine.

Any clues what might have gone wrong?

Was it a framerate issue? Did you forget to put your mixture to full?

If it was a framerate issue, delete your PilotEdge installation and reinstall. There have been several people having that trouble.

I know there is framerate an issue with PE and XP 10.40, but this was not the case: framerate was about 45 FPS. Mixture was full rich, Prop Setting (constant speed prop) was set for take off.
Never experienced that problem before. I'll give the I-5 another try this morning.

Cheers,

Yes, but you had also rebooted the PC and restarted X-Plane. To see if it was PE-related, I would've disconnected from the network, kept xplane running, kept the plane running and then tested the acceleration again (changing no other variables).

There are no known issues regarding aircraft performance with PE.
