Engine-trouble

[skybolt66]

:help:Hi, what entries in aircraft-CFG must be replcaced when engine doesn't start by "Ctrl+E" ? Starter-function is o.k., but no ignition and in
inactive panel is no manually option. Maybe "bad fuel"??

What aircraft is this?

 

[stansdds]

Is the aircraft in question actually a FS9 aircraft that was ported into FSX?

 

[skybolt66]

....yes, it is AN-2 for FSX/2004. There was also no flapfunction, but after replacing from other AN2-cfg-entries
it's o.k. So maybe optionally the engine-section. But where+how ??
Curious: Allways by adding AN-2's many problems appears: Incorrect screen-displays, no sound..aso!
Are those bugs known (planes by Vladimir Zhyhulskiy) from other users?

Are you using Vlads AN-2? I had similar problems when starting the engine.

Sounds like a FS9 port over issue and it's a common problem with props. First thing to try is increasing the normalized starter torque value. Most FS9 aircraft have a value of something like 0.5000. Start raising that value until either the engine starts or the starter rolls the aircraft onto its side. Weird, but it happens in FSX. If that does not fix the starter problem you may have to mess with the power scalar setting, but that can mess up the whole flight model.

...o.k, I try to copy entries from other CFG's Also curios: After up-transfer engine is running,
but stops by 5%gas.

O.k, I tried it, but quit! AN-2/flight-feeling is like a "blimp", motorgliders are better!
