A good day to everybody! 
Is there anybody out there who could kindly give me a suggestion about what controls idle rpms in an airfile, please?
I have a pair of aircrafts converted from FS2000/02/04 which are probably using a civilian sim native airfile, because their idle is so high the only way to stop their post-landing run consists in turning the engine/s off, otherwise they always go into a ground roll and overturn when I desperately hit the brakes to avoid overrunning the runway.
Most notably, it's the Dutch twin-engined Fokker G.1 Wasp built by Alexander Schreijnders a while ago, not counting one engine starts only manually. Also a couple of Ito's models I converted myself behave similarly, what's strange here is that I always use CFS2 airfiles for my conversions.
The problem is not in engine record #505, because I already tried every trick in my bag but it's not working. My joystick works perfectly with all the other aircrafts in my hangar, and I even recalibrated it within CFS2 several times, just in case.
The most bizarre thing is that, when I switch to CFS2 HUD, it displays 0% throttle, my engine gauges tell me the engines are idling, but the sound they produce is actually howling as if I had throttled up to 50% power and above!
Thank you!
One last thing:
I announced before summer I was dressing up Gary Burn's BoB British RAF airfileds and that I was trying to make them look as close as possible to the real thing, taking advantage of the available ETO object libraries from Pen32Win, Canion, Wolfi and more.
After the summer pause, I picked the project up again and decided to include all of Achims' UK airfields also and, with the help of Kdriver I am getting somewhere, although the search for WWII pictures eats up huge amounts of time. At any rate, I learned a lot about the general looks of a WWII RAF airfield and now all of my British airports feature an entrance with the RAF flag flying, administrative buildings, operation centres, officers and enlisted personnel living quarters. All I need now is a pub.......
Kdriver sent me a list of still exhisting "C" and "T2" type hangars in England and duly used them where required.
I hope to be able to start releasing something in a month or two.
Cheers!
