FS2004 in FSX: Taxi on idle power & light issues

Featured Replies

Dear All,

 

I have one more problem. I have managed to run FS2004 aircrafts in FSX by adjusting "Panel" and "Sound" files. The following are few minor bugs which I would like to fix as well.

 

Condition (1): Even when the engine power is on idle setting, the modified FS2004 aircraft starts to taxi slowly in FSX. I need to always engage the parking brakes even when holding short of runways.

Question: please can any one let me know how can I make the aircraft not to taxi at idle power. where can I edit this property?

 

Condition (2): Strobe, Nav, beacon lights of FS2004 aircraft not visible during daylight and from all view angles in FSX. Some times they do not work at all.

Question: please can any one let me know how can I fix this issue. where can I edit this properties?

 

Thanking you all once again.

 

With kind regards,

Inno

If this aircraft is a turboprop, try moving your prop pitch lever to full coarse; this simulates the "condition lever" and sometimes helps.  If a piston you may need to reduce the idle setting in the aircraft.cfg file, I assume (min_design_mp=?).  For a jet, I assume it's something in the AIR file?

Hi Tom,

 

Its a jet "CRJ 700" & "A320-200". Which parameter do I edit in the air file? How can I edit it, using which tool?

 

Thanks for your support once again.

 

With kind regards,

Inno

A lot of jet engine aircraft can taxi at idle throttle in the real world.
