Methods for altitude changes

For serious climbing, use power and rich mixture, then reduce MP,
prop, and mixture as needed at desired altitude.

_Always_ rich for a climb? At altitudes above a few thousand feet MSL, it
seems that a rich mixture just slows me down.

In a real airplane with a real engine that generates real heat and
costs real money to overhaul there are conciderations beyond how
fast you go.

I guess that's a problem for real pilots. It's not a problem for me.

Then why bother asking how real airplanes fly?

Just go play with your simulator and do what you want.

Flying a real airplane requires concidering a pile of factors such
as aircraft performance, equipment and condition, weather, temperature,
density altitude, center of gravity, airspace types, pilot health and
general disposition, maneuvering speed, fuel burn, costs, engine
health, etc.

I know how real airplanes fly. The question in this case was which methods
pilots prefer for changes in altitude, since there are several ways to change
altitude.

Once again you have no context to understand an answer.

How pilots of real airplanes change altitude has very little to do
with what a pilot prefers and a whole lot to do with the POH for
the airplane and general conciderations for the realities of airplanes
and engines.

No, you don't.
