Also what may help out some is bring down the pitch a notch to 95%. I've done that on a couple of aircraft and it seemed to help a bit.

Ok' date=' now I've got a question.

Should I normally be flying at less than 100% mixture?

The table tells when to step-up the SC and when to increase mixture. I usually fly at 100% except when taking off from a carrier with it at 120%.

I would think that as the oxygen thins at higher altitude you'd have to decrease fuel mix or it would begin to run rich. just like leaving it at 120% after take-off and climbing a few 100 meters & the engine bogs-down & starts to cut-out.

I'm totally confused now. Although it might help explain why I often have trouble keeping-up with my group during coops.

If it helps any I generally leave the SC in stage 1 until I hit about 7500 ft or higher for most aircraft, and I only run 120% when I'm below 2000 ft. I usually run 100% mixture until about 12-14000 ft then I drop to 80% and stage up again on the SC if the a/c has that capability. This prolly isn't right, but it works well enough for me in-game.
