Turboprop engine starting simulation questions
-
Hi Nick/Black Square,
I have a few questions regarding your turboprop simulations (TBM, Caravan, Duke) particularly during engine start. Before reading further I want to stress that this is my curiosity wanting some clarification for why things are the way that they are in these aircraft simulations
-
During engine start (for any black square turboprop aircraft), from the moment the starter is engaged the propeller does not start winding up until around 6% NG. This feels particularly long compared to the real world. Is this Asobo/MSFS24 limited?
-
Upon introducing fuel at the specified NG value for any of the black square turboprop aircraft, ITT light off occurs instantaneously, instead of there being a typical few seconds before light off occurs (some PT6 engines for example require light off to occur within 10 seconds of fuel being introduced into the engine. Im sure you are aware of this).
Main reason for asking other than curiosity was to ask if this will be something that will be changed in future (ie. King Air), or if this is purely a MSFS limitation.
Kind regards,
-
