[Jsbsim-python-devel] Starting a jet engine

[Ewald Z. <ewa...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm fiddling with the Panda3d Demo. It runs fine with the default values (I
had to change a few small things like the models and joystick code). Now I'm
trying to run it using the F16 flight model (my game will be a jet game
too), but I'm failing to get the engine started. The relevant code is the
following:


def startEngine( self ):
fcs = self.fdex.GetFCS( )
propulsion = self.fdex.GetPropulsion( )
fcs.SetDfCmd( 0.32 )
fcs.SetThrottleCmd( 0, 0.25 )
fcs.SetMixtureCmd( 0, 0.87 )
propulsion.SetMagnetos( 3 )
propulsion.SetStarter( 1 )


What do I have to do to make a turbine engine work?

Cheers
