Hello !

I'm working on a turboprop with two engines.I have some question.
1st : What type of engine have I define : turboprob or jet?
2nd : When I want to start only the left or right engine,both props are being rotate.Whats the problem?
3rd : How can I make that the props RPM is increasing slow when engine starts ?

Thanks

I produced my plane using King Air.Here is the config :

engine_type = 5
fuel_flow_scalar = 1.000
engine.0 = 3.615, -7.705, 2.322
engine.1 = 3.615, 7.705, 2.322
min_throttle_limit=-0.250000

When I start engines this happens :

Starting engine 1. : I can hear starting sound,the gauges show engine start,and both props are rotating.

Starting engine 2. : I can hear starting sound,the gauges show engine start,and the props are NOT rotating.

In FSDS i used the following names :
- for left engine's prop : prop_still,prop_slow,prop_blurred
- for right engine's prop : prop0_still,prop0_slow,prop0_blurred.

Thanks.I've done it before your reply and it's working now Now I have one unanswered question :  How can I make that the props RPM is increasing slow when engine starts ( not like a piston engine ) ?

Table 1505 is the spool-up data for  turbojets. Might work for turboprops?
Read the AirEd.ini
