From what I understand, the Cessna 182 Skylane is supposed to be a 140 knot airplane. But whenever I fly it on FS9, no matter how I set the power (according to the checklist) I never can get it to cruise past 120. I usually fly with 23 in. manifold pressure and I keep the propeller rpm at 2300.
I'm actually a private pilot in real life (learned to fly in a Cessna 172), but I have no experience in aircraft with a constant-speed prop and I thought I'd see if I couldn't learn a thing or 2 on the simulator (which is surprisingly realistic). I'm just confused as to why I can't get it to cruise any faster than 120 kts. Is it just set up this way?
