theophile 2 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 One very minor issue for a next update:when you put the DC8 in a cold and dark state(using the button on the fuel and payload loader),the nav light remains in the ON position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Michael2 236 Posted April 27, 2018 Developer Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thanks for pointing that out. It will be fixed in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophile 2 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Do not want to be fussy,but another detail is that on startup,with full outside air connected ,and before the opening of the fuel valves,the RPM does not go higher than 7%.I think it should be around 17-20%.

Developer Michael2 236 Posted April 27, 2018 Developer Share Posted April 27, 2018 You're talking about N1? N1 is on the main panels and N2 on the FE panels. The one manual I have only says that N1 rotation will usually show by light up and should show when the fuel is turned on (which is after N2 gets to 15%). All it says in effect is that there should be some movement of N1. Do you have a source for your number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophile 2 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Ok.Thanks.There is indeed some rotation visible,which would be correct.One other thing.On the cold and dark setup (button on the load manager),I keep consistently seeing the airplane with about 10 degree flaps down.Maybe this is just on my setup.

Developer Michael2 236 Posted April 27, 2018 Developer Share Posted April 27, 2018 Without hydraulic pressure, the flaps would slowly start to extend over time due to gravity. Eventually they go all the way down, but I imagine this would take a very long time. So I decided to model a little droop when the aircraft is completely shut down.

This seems to have differed by variant and airline. I think most 50s had the gauges configured as you say. However, my United manual has them with N1 on the main panel. And the 62 series aircraft I was able to get into had N1 on the main panel. In FSX/P3D thrust is linked directly to N1, or corrected N1 to be more exact. So a lot of time was put into getting the N1/EPR relationship exactly simulated. N2 simulation is OK, but not as simulated precisely like N1. And if I simulate EPR sensor icing at some point, you are going to want to see N1 to set power. So given the choice, it made more sense to me to put N1 on the main panel.
