asos Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I installed Paul Foster's fs2002-fs2004 Shackleton, pd920150.zip, and cannot start the engines. Any help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Since I am using the other "well-known" Sim, I have no gauges in the cockpit. But this aircraft will easily start and run using Ctrl+E and the throttles at 50%. The engines will not run with the throttles at idle. Probably some needed adjustment in the aircraft.cfg. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napamule2 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It's for FS2004 but is using BAD FS2002 values (maybe obtained from CFS). Make this change and it should work better (ie: too much friction in idle). I went and 'viewed' the aircraft cfg in zip file (pd920150.zip) here at FSCom library so am not guessing.
