C-27J Spartan

I also want to pass on my thanks to Warchild, this thread and IRIS for the sale.

I picked this up yesterday as a impulse buy from the sale and then went searching the usual FSX forums for info on the plane I just bought and the (what turns out to be incorrect) references to having to fly this on "easy" realism mode had me feeling serious buyers remorse until I read this thread and used the steps to get the engine running and did a flight... really nice plane and I am glad to add it to my hangar.

Thanks again for the useful info here.
 
How do you stop the C-27 from accelerating when starting the engines? I really seems to go out of control when I start it.

Not really, it will still accelerate to over 30 kts with the parking brakes on while turning as well.

Sorry Ferry not sure why that is happening, I think it did happen to mine one time but since I have been starting using the Crew Assist method I have not had it happen again.
 
Just got this bird and at a better price than the $10 sale....FREE!
Before anyone screams the p word, I cashed in my points that I have been building up over the past year and a half. Can't wait to fly it and thanks to all these posts I now know what to expect on start. I promise to read the manual and use the checklist before posting any problems.

By the way, reading these posts reminded me of the counter at Maintenance Control going over the yellow sheets for the past five flights. I was waiting for someone to reply with A799, cannot duplicate gripe.:mixedsmi:
 
Same here strikehawk, well I paid $1 USD. I have hopes of using some of the gauges for at least a 2D panel for the CS C-130J, since it seems that model will never have a proper panel.
 
accelerating to over thirty on start up?? hmm.. check your throttle settings. also take a gander at the physical part of it and make sure its completely retarded.
 
I've tried all of that Pam; I move the throttle through the full range first (Saitek X52), then press F1 and Control F1 just to be sure, set the parking brakes but still it starts to go wild when I switch on the engines. If I don't start both engines at once it will even start to turn in circles until it ground loops. It even does this with realism mode set to 'easy'.
Quite annoying, but otherwise it is a fine aircraft!
 
Was that at an airport with default scenery or with 3D party scenery.. The reason i ask is that, I tune the flight model contacts pretty tight ( and sometimes david adjusts them ) and i also tune the moments of intertias pretty tight as well, sooo, sometimes, when i'm on a runway, some of my work bounces and does other weird things.. Havent seen it happen before on released products, but theres always the first time..
 
Ferry,
Be sure your props are at full fine setting, minimum rpm/pitch. Mine started rolling also till I reduced pitch.
 
Did You noticed sametimes this strange effects of lights with 1.2 Spartan? With poor weather. Clean install of 1.2 v. :\ ?
Look like texture problem, no transparency?

hmmmm. I dont run 1.2. I only use 1.0 because some people didnt like some of the changes made to 1.2, so i maintain a 1.0 fde for people who want it..
 
Yea .. I get the funny lights too...also you notice the engine sound louder on one side vs the other...still i enjoy her alot!!
 
Maybe the best solution is to add - Shockwave Redux 3D lights? Does anyone have the settings of Redux Lights for Spartan?

ok guys. I've just been informed that the 1.2 version aircraft.cfg file has the static thrust set too 1732 .. This is a typo and would explain a LOT.. The corrected value for static thrust in the version 1.2 config is 173.2 or you can use the value from the 1.0 version which is 140 ..
