piston engine data in cfg

Post by cbramkamp »

I just realized that the piston engine part of my cfg looks like this:

[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 1.0 //Piston power scalar
cylinder_displacement= 80.0 //Cubic inches per cylinder
compression_ratio= 8.5 //Compression ratio
number_of_cylinders=4 //Number of cylinders
max_rated_rpm= 2700 //Max rated RPM
max_rated_hp= 250 //Max rated HP

I thought i ve mad a copy & paste error, as it looks more like the data sheet of a Bonanza. After a new install (including updates) it´s still looking like this.
Any idea?

cbramkamp you got me curious so I looked. My is the same in P3d and FSX.


[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 1.0 //Piston power scalar
cylinder_displacement= 80.0 //Cubic inches per cylinder
compression_ratio= 8.5 //Compression ratio
number_of_cylinders=4 //Number of cylinders
max_rated_rpm= 2700 //Max rated RPM
max_rated_hp= 250 //Max rated HP
fuel_metering_type= 0 //0=Fuel Injected, 1=Gravity Carburetor, 2=Aerobatic Carburetor

Is it really fuel injected also? I always wait for it to cut out when I fly inverted or do a really slow roll but it never does. Can I make it gravity fed?

I think all of this is set inside Accu-Sim.

I thought the same, but on my other Accusim planes the cfg looks more realistic.

Yes the relaxed realism of the platform itself is over written and all simulated in our Accu-sim Simulation engine.

thanks,
