    Engine syncronization

    Hi,

    Is there a way to syncronize or whatever, to have the power handel of my twin turbo at the same position. For instance I have the engine1, 1cm lower than the engine2 handle. I tried with calibration in FSUIPC4 but there is still a small difference.

    Any suggestion welcome

    Gerry

    Look in FSUIPC buttons assignements scrolling list, there is a engine sync option.
    Do not remember exactly what the name is but you will find it.

    Re: Engine syncronization

    Hi Jack,

    Thanks for the info, I didn't check in the buttons option, which I'll do tomorrow. Maybe so as you suggest, I leave it like it is in the real world
    but when stopping and restarting on the taxiways, if don't have the same power on both engines you can't go strait and have to use rudder constantly.


    Thanks and fly safe

    Engine management is just one of the tasks a pilot must balance, in the real world.

    And you are lucky enough to have a throttle lever for each engine, leave it and savor the experience.

    Re: Engine syncronization

    If it is a piston engine you are looking for prop sync. Makes both props spin at the same speed to reduce vibration, etc.
    I'm not replicating anything, because I like to fly everything.

    Re: Engine syncronization

    Is prop sync used in all conditions or only after climb, during cruise?
