Both props spin when starting engine

HELP!

I have been playing with C46CHL using several different airfiles. Problem is that when you hit "E" ... both port and starboard props begin spinning ... with port starting up .... then starboard starting up ... but remember ... when you hit "E" ... BOTH PROPS BEGIN SPINNING.

Now, can anyone direct me as to where I have to go and into which file to kill the spin on the starboard prop UNTIL THE DAMNED THING IS ACTUALLY STARTING UP?

GEEEZE .... this thing is gonn'a make me nutz or kill me!:banghead:

Thanks, Billy
 
Bill, have you tried using the prop parameters from the stock C47 air file yet---copy/pasting from A to B? You'll need to focus on records 510, 511 and 512.
 
I have come across some models that have the prop animations set up to have both props spinning at the same time...even with one engine shut off, both props will spin at what ever RPM the throttle is set at. I hope this is not the case with your plane, Bill.

To stick my oar in - it sounds like it's in the mdl file - you'd need the source file to correct it ( is it FSDS2 ? )
