Turbine engines spool-up in FS2004

Featured Replies

I just got X-Plane and noticed that the engines on their 747 and 777 spool up (and down) alot quicker then the engines on our FS9 aircraft. The FS aircraft seem to have a very sluggish throttle. I assume from what I have heard that the X-Plane models are more realistic, so my question is: is there a way to increase the throttle sensitivity in FS2004? I already have my FS9's throttle setting turned all the way up with 0 null zone. I am using a CH Yoke (USB).

Edit this line in the aircraft.cfg:fuel_flow_gain = x.xxxMost are defaulted to .002. Increase it to .004, or even higher, and your spool up time will be faster...-John

Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for.BTW, I found that if I set the fuel_flow_gain in my airliners to .007 and increase my throttle sensitivity nullzone to about 20%, I get a nice clean, responsive throttle that is very similar to the X-plane's 777 and 747 throttles.
