Lockheed Jetstar II

Having fun with the Jetstar II thanks to all who have worked so hard on its current recreation.

The real thing.

Ok, I give up, I have tried to figure out why my number one engine has less RPM and power than the other three. It will max out at full throttle but falls off sharply when throttle reduced. The other three are always nearly all the same. Any ideas. I have tried looking at the aircraft.cfg and even the air file. Stumped and need any help.

Thanks, Tom

Addendum, My Warthog joystick and throttle are configured for all four engines using the left and right throttle levers. The left throttle is configured to engine one and three. The right is configured to engines two and four. Again, any ideas. The number one engine is my problem.

Try just using throttle keystrokes vice your joystick should be F3 increase, F2 decrease, see if they all respond equally. (Check your options keystroke control settings to make sure F3 / F2 are the right ones).
 
Will do Mike, great idea.

Checked the acceleration with the F3 key. Engine one starts at a lower rpm than the other three. Increase power slowly to maximum. All engines showing 100. Backed off with the F2 key. Engine one went to 52, the two, three and four settling at 74 but were the same. The only engine showing different reading is one. Any other ideas since I seem to be the only one with this problem.
 
Thanks Jim, I had the lines at intersection blurred but thought I should make them more distinct. I definitely agree with you. Of to blur the textures.

What fltSim do you have? check your axis assignments for your controller - should be able to see 4 individual settings - maybe?
 
Yes I can make four different setting. Axis assignments only to my two throttle levers. I gave engine one and three to the left lever. I gave engine two and four to the second lever. The axis assignments work perfectly with other four engine aircraft. I have messed with this setting in every way but Sunday but the results are always the same. Engine one has lower RPM than the other three but will got to 100 percent power. Very strange.

Hi Tom

My P3D V4.5 is doing same. And then it goes further and annother engine dies-->Delete out of panel.cfg all L1329! enrtries out of VC Windows 2 ->Makes the FraswrMcKay 2 D panel less functional but solves that issue

At leat in my case

Roland
 
Interesting. In P3Dv4.5 I have the Fraser McKay 2D panel and all pop up gauges functioning fully. No problem with engines not running evenly. I also adjusted the fuel settings in the air.cfg so that after take off you can switch off the main tanks and use first the wing slipper tanks until they are almost empty, then switch to the others for the remainder of the flight. The electrical, hydraulics and start up functions are quite detailed. I find having these systems - even though not in the VC - adds a lot to the immersion and enjoyment.

Roland, I am using the most updated version of the panel. My panel.cfg doesn't have a VC Window 2. Where do I go from here. This is in P3D V4.5. The new panel looks great BTW.
 
1 Suggestion- a bit odd though

Delete that part in panel.cfg


[Window02]
file=throttle.bmp
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=627,352
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=8
visible=0
ident=THROTTLE_PANEL
window_size= 0.393, 0.270
window_pos= 0.630, 0.858

gauge00=LJS2!PK_Brake, 478,113,77,76
gauge01=LJS2!Flap_Lever, 503,221,55,190
gauge02=LJS2!THROTTLE_1, 189,2,65,237
gauge03=LJS2!THROTTLE_2, 260,1,65,236
gauge04=LJS2!THROTTLE_3, 328,4,65,233
gauge05=LJS2!THROTTLE_4, 395,4,65,232
gauge06=LJS2!Trim, 75,385,65,63
gauge07=LJS2!Ailerons, 395,392,58,49
gauge08=LJS2!Rudder, 307,391,59,47


I really dont know as my case is different and was off the first P3D download here

Engine 3 never revs up ?

Roland
 
Thanks for the response Roland, I will definitely give this a try. I did try deleting all of Window 2 when I couldn't find VC Window 2 but no joy. Back after testing. This is a great project. Some fantastic folk giving input.

Back after testing. No joy as engine one shows 26 on the gauge display with the other three showing 72.
 
Post a screenshot of the VC and engine page please out of P3D

Then restart P3D ( it unfortunately sometimes former settings ) and try again

Also you can give the FSX light download a try

Best regards

Roland
 
Here is my VC. I think I already have the FSX light version. Anyway the latest download.

dearTom

Thats not latest panel- some intermediate step ( of which we have many sorry)

Of couse I can post latest here, but also gauges are different to latest P3DV4 download here( or Avsim or Simviation)

I would download that and try- honesty

Roland

PS; that still hates to work- maybe the P3D is too heavy for your machine/setting
then the FSX light download here may float the boat
 
Thanks Roland, I will check the downloads again. As for the machine, I make them myself so there is no problem with CPU power or ram. Really appreciate the help. I had to be away for a bit but back all the rest of the day to test.

Also, here are a couple new pics of the camo version I have been working on.

Roland, that did it. I downloaded the version with PBR. All engines work perfectly. Your help is very much appreciated.
