AB in X55
-
Given the fact that the X55 has no AB detent (or idle detent for that matter), what ideas would you suggest to be able to control the AB with precision?
-
Like you, I wish there was a detent on the X-55. The only way around it for me is to increase the volume slider under the “Sound” tab. At least I can now hear that I am in AB. I am not at the computer now, but it should be on the right upper side.
-
Keep an eye on the pph readout for fuel flow, and the nozzle position. You should be checking those every minute or so anyway.
-
I don’t remember approximately what fuel flow should I see…
-
Well, it varies based on altitude, speed and throttle position. However it increases a lot when you creep into AB. The transition is very noticeable.

Thanks

Adjust the throttle with small increments, observing the fuel flow indicator and the nozzle position indicator?
-
I just set the ab detent to 99% in-game. Then firewall the throttle and bring it back a millimetre or two and I’m at mil power, or very slightly under. Since I’ve been doing this I’m no-longer hunting for the detent.

Just look right side of pit, there is nozzle position gauge just above rmp gauge
