From the 777 forum: P40 notes linkMax continuous power: 39.5" at 2600 rpm Max combat power: 43.5" at 2600 rpm, 30-minute limit Emergency power: 45.5" at 3000 rpm, 5-minute limit Mixture: 4 distinct positions: Full Rich, Auto Rich, Auto Lean, and Idle Cutoff. Even though the mixture lever can move anywhere up and down the quadrant, these are the only four settings in use. The “next” mixture setting, when moving the lever from the 0% position, becomes active when the lever reaches the relevant marker on the throttle quadrant. Auto Rich is the setting one will want to use almost all of the time. Full Rich, in reality, was meant to be used only in case of mechanical failure and is far less fuel-efficient than Auto Rich. Full engine power can be reached with the Auto Rich setting, so just set it there and leave it be. Radiator: manually controlled with outlet cowl flap control Supercharger: single stage, single-speed. Nothing to adjust. Trim: full trim available for pitch, roll, and yaw Tailwheel: non-lockable

What I have discovered about the BOM P40E1. Startup (seems to take ages!) Set throttle 15% - press e Engine Start Confirm Prop Pitch 100% - RSH -/= Confirm Fuel Mix - Auto Rich Dashboard Lights - l Notes: Fuel Mix: 4 distinct positions: Full Rich, Auto Rich, Auto Lean, and Idle Cutoff. Even though the mixture lever can move anywhere up and down the quadrant, there are only four settings. Note the markings on the throttle quadrant. Generally, set to Auto Rich. Full Rich, in reality, was meant to be used only in case of mechanical failure and is far less fuel-efficient than Auto Rich. Full engine power can be reached with the Auto Rich setting. Cowls Winter Map - can remain closed - LCTL -/= Maintain water temp - min 80 max 120 Maintain oil temp - 40-88 Release Parking Brakes - LSH / Taxi Don't over-rev - ground loop inevitable! Has differential brakes - ,/. Take Off Throttle gradually to 2800 rpm Airborne - rpm to 2600rpm Manifold pressure - as per range on instrument - adjust Prop Pitch Wheel Up - g Other Controls Canopy Open-Close RALT c Flaps - f/LSH f Nav Lights - RCTL l Landing Lights - RSH l Eject - Open canopy RALT c, LCTL e Options I generally use 4xMk2 machine guns, rather than 6. Lighter weight for more agility. ADJUST DEFAULT VIEW Disable TrackIR - F9 Centre View - numpad 5 Adjustment - left/right Delete/End - forward/rearward Insert/Delete - up/dn PageUp/PageDn Save F10 Enable TrackIR F9
