August 26, 20187 yr Noticed that Carenado has the option for a realistic engine start (P3D4v) in the cfg file, but commented these lines for some reason out. If you change it the following way you will have a nice slow spool up with basically no RPM and torque overshoot. Engine response will be a faster as well. [TurbineEngineData] fuel_flow_gain.0 = 35, 0.001 fuel_flow_gain.1 = 40, 0.008 fuel_flow_gain.2 = 65, 0.01 fuel_flow_gain.3 = 69, 0.04 //fuel_flow_gain = 0.03
August 27, 20187 yr Cool thank you. Any idea if this would work for Carenados other turbo props? Dave.
August 27, 20187 yr Author Yes, but you have to carefully adjust those RPM/fuel flow values for each aircraft/engine/prop combination by experimenting.
August 27, 20187 yr Great find!, the over torque and the other startup issues were getting really annoying!.
August 28, 20187 yr Great thanks 🙏 Any idea if these values work on other turboprops? Obviously the values will need tweaking but I have other Aircraft that need this attention too. IM
August 28, 20187 yr Author This works with all turboprops in P3Dv4. The last value should be the RPM just a tad below idle. Check the actual idle RPM and use this value (or a tad below idle) for the last line. It determines the engine acceleration during flight. With the other values you can experiment to achieve the desired spool up speed and smoothness. You can even add a 5th line if needed. Hope this helps 🙂
August 28, 20187 yr Just tried it on the Turbo Commander 690. Watched a video online from a real one and matched the startup rotation rate. Worked like a treat. Awesome thanks.

Awesome thanks. hi, where and what lines, values, you added to the aircraft.cfg in the 690B? for testing too, Redgars Robert Bernard

October 14, 20187 yr Stoopid question - I have the do228 - but if this potentially improves realism, why did they comment them out ? Are they deliberately dumbing it down ?

I'd assume that they initially simply forgot to exchange the FSX cfg in the P3D package. Edited October 14, 20187 yr by J35OE
October 14, 20187 yr OK, I'll check it out on my Carry twins. Kudos to you guys for spotting and sorting ! Cheers.

Thnx again.
