KCD Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I have a model that I like a great deal. It's a great flyer, although the Aircraft.cfg must have been created in error. You see, this aircraft properly flys with a constant speed prop, which means both throttle and M.P. controls. The cfg had a "1" for prop type which I promptly changed to"0", but that change seems to have had no effect. I know the same change can be made in the "AIR" file, but I was under the opinion that the "cfg" file ruled supreme. Can someone provide the steps necessary to convert a model set up for a fixed prop to constant speed, so that it flies properly, please? Thanks.

mrzippy Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi Klee! What aircraft are you referring to? Does it have the proper prop lever(s) to adjust the prop RPM? Does adjusting the lever(s) change the RPM at all? I was just doing an aircraft.cfg comparison between the fixed prop C-172 and the Baron58 and checking all of the 1's and 0's in the feathering sections. Big differences between the 2 aircraft [propeller] sections. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCD Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi Zippy... the plane is an HTAI Cessna 207 (used in the north land quite a bit by 2nd rate air carriers, although it's a great old workhorse. I'll pm you the engine and prop sections if you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgibson_new Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi, I assume that is an AI aircraft (thus the HTAI in the name), and those flight dynamics are often not designed to work properly as a flyable aircraft.

ViperPilot2 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Klee, If you get that 207 flying, I'd sure like to see some Screenies of her.
