Rolling

Hi

Why rolls my turbobrop on the ground when the engines in idle and the parking brake is off?

You need to adjust the idle speed.  Its set too high, but I'm not sure how to do this.  I know you should get AirEd, and that will allow you to edit the *.air file, where the information you need to change is located.

the high idle function, is a throttle control in all turbine aircraft,(well most anyway). you can simply idle back the handles on the throttle quadrant. messing with the cfg for idle control may cause adverse effects in throttle response and handeling under normal operation.
( just felt like writing throttle again )

I think the problem he is describing is that when his throttle is at zero, the aircraft is still moving forward.  In high-powered aircraft, this can be a problem, but is easily fixable by changing some part of the *.air file.  Again, I'm not sure which, but I would look back in this forum for issues of the same sort.  I now I have seen them before.

not sure...but by any chance does it have anything to do with the min throttle limit...

Ok. I have to set the engine to the low idle speed and the plane stops.I thought the "mistyc" is in the air file
Thanks guys

yep that's the way.  pull the throttle handles back to the low idle setting. by default, joystick or keyboard controls only move the throttle back to high idle.  but you can manually pull them back further( to low idle setting) in the 2-d panel.   you didn't have to change the cfg.  settings did you skyflirt?

sorry the confusion is .... i meant the mixture controls

shouldn't this post be in the fs02 section anyway?

[Travis]

Doy!

Here's me, forgetting the basics of flying!

Yes, if its a prop aircraft, the mixture and the prop setting are key!

Set the mixture to full and the prop all the way out (or whatever).  That'll slow down the propeller, making it harder to takeoff.  Increase the mixture and leave the propeller where it is to get off the ground quickly.

Sometimes I forget my lessons . . .
