From eng_io320.xml:
idlerpm 550.0 /idlerpm
The engine needs to reach 440 RPM to start (80% of 550, the coded idle RPM) if
you're reaching above 440 RPM make sure you've engaged fuel and magneto
controls. If you're not reaching that perhaps you need to look into the
controlling nasal as the c172 uses some non-standard stuff. Also make sure
you're not sitting with a strong tailwind as that can affect some propeller
configurations and make them harder to turn.

Hi all,
I'm going to use Flightgear for developing/testing UAV code (yep,
another one of those :) ). I'm currently putting together an SDL app
that communicates with FG.
I'm using the FGNetCtrls structure from net_ctrls.hxx. I'm trying to
start the C172's engine but when I set startup_power = 1, the engine
tries to start, but won't. Flightgear behaves like I was repeatedly
pressing the 's' key several times per second rather than holding it
down, so the engine spins up, but not quite enough to start. Am I doing
something wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers,
Vik
