Hi Curt,
I thought about that before but I don't think so. I'm printing a line
for every single ctrl packet I'm sending, and each ctrl packet is in
response to one from FG. If I kill the app, or tell it to stop sending
ctrl messages, nothing else seems to be controlling anything.

Hi Ron,
A quick test confirms that you were indeed right:
Engine state: 0, mag: 3, starter: 1, RPM: 440.915466
Engine state: 0, mag: 3, starter: 1, RPM: 440.567566
Engine state: 0, mag: 3, starter: 1, RPM: 447.837677
Engine state: 0, mag: 3, starter: 1, RPM: 445.897156
It must be that the
There is a change to the starter motor code (should be entering git real soon
now) that may help address this. But your engine should have 'started' as it
exceeded 440 RPM... Anyway, glad it works now, and we can revisit this after
FlightGear syncs JSBSim.

Actually the engine rpm is usually oscillating between 430 and 450 rpm.
Therefore it must be shutting down and starting up repeatedly, or at
least I think that's what's happening. Also it could be possible that
when the starter engages, it might pull the rpm back momentarily.
In any case, I
It makes me wonder if some other control is battling for the starter
property and it's not consistently switched on?

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 =
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
8 matches
