At the moment I'm building the Fokker D.16. I'm not sure about the aircraft.cfg. So this cfg is probably hindering a restart after shutting the engine, and the plane also won't start from cold and dark. I know this because using another cfg solves this. I can't figure out what is crucial in the cfg for this behaviour, and I think someone here knows the answer!

Eager to learn and forever thankfull!

:dizzy:

The ones to look at in the aircraft.cfg:

[piston_engine]
power_scalar=1.0
cylinder_displacement=155.714285714286
compression_ratio=6.1
number_of_cylinders=18
max_rated_rpm=2800
max_rated_hp=2800
fuel_metering_type=2
cooling_type=0
normalized_starter_torque=0.3 <--------------------
turbocharged=1
max_design_mp=56
min_design_mp=5
critical_altitude=34300
emergency_boost_type=2
emergency_boost_mp_offset=9.4
emergency_boost_gain_offset=1.50
fuel_air_auto_mixture=0
auto_ignition=0
emergency_boost_duration=900
max_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.0
idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1
max_rpm_friction_scalar=1
idle_rpm_friction_scalar=1.2 <--------------------------
 
Thanks! That worked. At least the CTRL+E start is functional, but starting from the mag switch still doesn't work. It cranks the engine allright, but nothing else. Oh well, at least I got the mag switch working.

On to the next problem to be solved! I love it!

:untroubled:

Hello Cees
in CFS2 the problem can be solved by allowing automixture in the air file, for CFS2 item 50,5 the before the last option, hope it can be applied here ;)

Cheers

I forgot to tell, the combination mag+starter works this way, for only the mag, try the last item in 505 ;)

Good luck
Martin :jump:
