Jabberjaw 0 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 My CRJ is idling in the mid-30's and not in the lower 20's as it should. As a result, at idle I'm up to 30 knots within 20 seconds and have to ride the brakes to be able to taxi. I've calibrated my controls more times than I can count. I did the old "unplug and plug back in " on the stick and calibrated. No luck. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the whole CRJ and still doesn't work. I have a Logitech X3D stick for what that's worth. Checked for updates and CRJ manager says none available. The first month or so it worked fine, but somewhere along the way it started this. Love the plane, but it's a real hassle when it's on the ground. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted February 18, 2019 Developer Share Posted February 18, 2019 The reason is that you have anti-ice switched on. It increases the N1 for 30 (WAI or EAI) or 35 (WAI and EAI) percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Hans jumps in and steals my thunder! I knew it wasn't going to be a good day when I got out of bed and stepped right where (apparently) my cat threw up last night. You know, sometimes it's better to climb back into bed and try again the next day! LOL!!! Seriously, good job Hans! Perfect! The CRJ is flying better than ever my friend!

Jabberjaw 0 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thank you both. That definitely slowed the acceleration down from idle and it's idling at 21 instead of 35 as you said it would. Unfortunately, I'm still accelerating at idle. I was at 30 kts within 60 seconds even with the lower idle. Thoughts from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffie3000 96 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 There is a point what you can check too. The Option page 2/2 of DAVE show the option "Use Ground Friction Tweak" Contrary to the text in the tutorial this option should be deactivated. See also documentation Vol3_Tutorial, capter 3.6, page 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In v4 the option is not available. Normally the aircraft doesn't move at 21% unless it's very light. But the ground thrust is actually tuned so that it doesn't need much to start rolling.

Jabberjaw 0 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thank you both. I'll deactivate that in DAVE. I have the load factor normal to high, so not flying with no cargo or passengers. Again, thanks for replying and helping to fix my issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
