I've lost all right side power. Which files could be affected?

Featured Replies

Hello all:During some trials I have been doing with a little tool I was testing for installing addons, I must have made some involuntary changes in my FS config, but the fact is every aircraft I try to fly, does not have power on its right side.In order not to complicate my explanations, at first I simply want to ask you the simple question, regardless of how the tool I was trying could have produced this failure. So the question isAnyone knows which files could be involved in this kind of failure?Thanks anticipatedjacilore

Thrust. As I try to take off, my aircraft would start to turn as it only has thrust in one side (Asymetrical power)Thanks for your interest.

your throttle control has gone to one engine. through some combination of things you may have broken the connection between your joystick/yoke/throttle and equal thrust.simple fix restart FSmore complicated -go throught your FS settings (from within the sim) and confirm thrust is set for all engines to the same devicefinal and much more complicated -remove the FS9.cfg to your desktop. restart FS (will make a new file at FS9's default settings). test if things work. if so you will need to copy all 'FS9.cfg hacks' from the cfg file you moved onto the desktop back into the 'new' FS9.cfg file.--

If you're using FSUIPC, you may want to check that the "map to 4 engines" option is checked in the throttle axis page, in the joysticks tab if I remember right.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile

Why has NO ONE suggested the drop-dead simplest possible solution?Press E, 1, 2 for twinsPress E, 1, 2, 3 for three engine a/cPress E, 1, 2, 3, 4 for four engine a/cIt's quite possible that somewhere along the line only E, 1 was selected (assigning control to engine 1 ONLY.This assignment will persist until manually changed, regardless of whether you shut down the sim & restart or not... ;)

Hi all: Thanks for the replies; I've been too busy so I had only been able to read you, not to try your advices. Anyway, now I have been able to see that:- The problem itself seems to be that the fuel supply is cut off for the right side engines. By clicking CTRL+E, both side engines start, one after another, but that's not the way I would like to solve it- It's clear that if I erase fs9.cfg, FS9 creates another that doesn't have my problem, but I would like to save my other fs9.cfg configuration and I don't know how to do it- Anyway I can't see how the thrust is selected in flightsim (I have only seen the errors configuration, but I don't think that has anything to do.- The map to 4 engines (w6kd), I can't find in my joystick menu; anyway, the only engines related item I have in my joystick is the sliding throttle wheel. Am I missing something?So does anyone know why could be fuel supply of my right engines cut off, or where in my fs9.cfg could be that configuration set?Thanks again to allJacilore

Hi scoob. Sorry for my ignorance, but, what is the "hacks/tweeks" from my old fs9.cfg??. Thanks.

>So does anyone know why could be fuel supply of my right>engines cut off, or where in my fs9.cfg could be that>configuration set?This sounds like a problem with a setting in the last.flt or the default flight.Try starting up FS9, open the create a flight menu, select the default Cessna 172 at Seattle Tacoma International. Start the flight, then save the flight as your default flight, then switch to the plane you want to fly.In general, your default flight should always be a default airplane at a default airport. Once it's saved as the default flight, that's what FS will load as it enters the create-a-flight menu.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile

a 'hack' or a 'tweek' is a change to the FS9.cfg file that is not possible throught FS.examples -TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400 TextureMaxLoad =10 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.7RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.7RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.0RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.0FSSound.dll=1SOARRec.dll=1PSS-Dash8.gau=1PSS-Dash8Q.gau=1ADF2mod.dll=1Tablefog=0and everything done through FSUIPC.the above (and many others) are to improve the performance of FS and are not items supported by microsoft and have come from users 'playing' with settings outside of FS9's editing abilities.as these are not listed as options by microsoft they are 'hacks' and/or 'tweeks.'--
