• 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.

throttle question

Where I bush fly we have these AC's that are a ibt souped up in the engines. Maybe that's the problem.

Flying a Dehaviland Otter, radial, single engine is where I notice this the most I think.

To taxi from stand still I throttle up and then back to get going as usual. Throttle now is all the way back but my speed keeps climbing even with the brakes on. It will climb to 80 knots or so until the brakes take effect, and they take effect slowly, very slowly. The only way I can get teh speed back down it to hit reverse thrust.

Also turning while taxiing could be a bit better. What in the aircraft.cfg file would I change?Bob
 
Hi,

Turboprops have normally two idle settings in the condition levers: on efor land use and another for use in flight. In the flight idle setting, the gas generator rpm are higher than in ground idle, which means that the propellers will give more thrust (in some cases, a lot more thrust). Taxiing is to be done in ground idle setting, and flight idle is to be selected just prior to takeoff.

If you try to taxi with the condition levers in flight idle, you're likely to have such effects as described (although 80 knots is a bit too much in my humble opinion).
