hornetdriver25 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hey, When I start the engine in the Virtavia T-34C it surges forward like its at full power, any help? Also when taxing I pull the power all the way back and it still goes forward. Thanks in advance!

GlennC Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It sounds like you are getting a hot start. That can kill a turboprop fairly quickly. The correct order is condition lever last. An engine like this must have the air flow thru it established before the spark is lit. So, don't touch the condition lever untl N1 is at about 12%. For the fast taxi, I think that's just FSXs way of handling turboprops. On this airplane, if I remember right ( I don't have it installed now), the condition lever is either on or off, no flight versus ground idle.

hornetdriver25 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks Glenn.:D Do you have a proper start up procedure I can use?

PhantomTweak Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Knowing Virtavia, they will try to keep it as close to RW procedures as they can. Look for "NAVAIR-01-90KDB-1B-compressed.pdf" on the net. That's the T-34B NATOPS. Should be close enough to the C to work good for you...

PhantomTweak Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My pleasure :D I'm a NATOPS freak. If it exists, I find it. AND use it!

GlennC Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Go with Pat's advice. I know enough about PT-6As to be dangerous. I have about a half hour in the right seat of a King Air and an inactive SEL certificate. Doesn't keep me from taking about it. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
