[Flightgear-devel] Starting engine using FGNetCtrls

[Viktor R. <vik...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm going to use Flightgear for developing/testing UAV code (yep, 
another one of those :) ). I'm currently putting together an SDL app 
that communicates with FG.

I'm using the FGNetCtrls structure from net_ctrls.hxx. I'm trying to 
start the C172's engine but when I set startup_power = 1, the engine 
tries to start, but won't. Flightgear behaves like I was repeatedly 
pressing the 's' key several times per second rather than holding it 
down, so the engine spins up, but not quite enough to start. Am I doing 
something wrong?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers,
Vik
