Engine spool up/down time

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is there some setting in the .cfg file or air file that determines how long a jet engine takes to spool up and down? I know some of the older engines are suppose to take longer but I have a few that take forever. This seemes to affect the afterburners. They take forever to kick in and then you can't hardly get them to go off because the engine takes so long to spool down below 80 or 90%. Some aircraft are fine, like the FA-18 that comes with the Accel pack, and there's an F-16 and F-15 that I got from this site that works fine. Their engines seem to spool up and down alot quicker and so the afterburners work like they should. If the spool up/down time isn't the problem, anyone have an idea what could be causing the afterburner problem? I know it isn't in the throttle; like I said I have other a/c that work good.
