Ground crew overpriming second engine?


Nealius

Recommended Posts

I've noticed that the ground crew tends to overprime the second engine. The first engine fires up nicely, but the second engine always has massive flames akin to that when you overprime the Spitfire or Mustang. I assume the ground crew starts the priming process for both engines simultanously, and the priming action continues until the starter/booster buttons are depressed? Has anyone else noticed the same?

I see this too, Nealius, though the faster I am to start the left engine, he less fireworks I get from the starboard stacks.

 

This leads me to suspect that upon the engine prime command being given both engines are being primed simultaneously; ergo, whilst you're getting the port motor running the virtual ground crew are merrily squirting away and over-priming the starboard engine.

 

Perhaps try starting the right motor first an see if the reverse happens...
