Can someone please remind me of the solution to the problem whereby my plane's engines are running much higher than idle for a few seconds after loading before returning to normal? I have just installed everything from scratch on my new PC, and I cannot remember how to correct it!

EDIT: I think that I may have found the solution. I need to add "time_constant=0" to the [SOUND] section of the Prepar3D.cfg file.

What aircraft? Are you sure that you are not getting a "hot start"?

I am very familiar with the issue that occurred previously (and was noted by others), and adding the "time_constant=0" statement to my Prepar3D.cfg file has indeed solved the problem.

Wasn't this an issue with 4.5 HF1 which has been fixed with HF2?

Is it the engine are physically running higher, or just the sound is playing like they are running higher?

I think it was probably the sound playing like the engines are running higher. As for which version of P3D it relates to, all I know is that I have recently installed v4.5HF2 on my new PC.
