• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Smooth engine start

Hi all,

This has been asked before and so far noone ever found a solution to the issue, but here goes again: is there any way to have FSX start the engines smoothly without an N1, N2, EGT spike right after combustion ?

In my aircraft when I start engine 2 the start-up is really smooth, for engine 1 I always get a spike. I use the exact same code for both engine starts, and in the .air and .cfg files you can not differentiate between engine 1 or 2 in any of the engine parameters. Or at least I have not found any entries in these files that are separate for engine 1 and 2.

So what is going on here ? Any fresh idea would be appreciated :)

Fake it!

Or, more specifically, run your variables through a high-pass filter to remove the spike(s)...
 
Hi Bill,

Faking is what I do already ;), in fact the real life start-up sequence takes 62 seconds and FSX only takes 32 so my whole start-up sequence is more or less fake but... I can't fake the sound of the engine spiking, which is not a big issue but I'd prefer it didn't happen off course...
