J G 927 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have installed the freeware Tucano by Simshed. On the whole I am pleased with the aircraft, but I have one issue with it. When the aircraft is started up, the engine goes to full throttle and then returns to idle. I am sure this this realistic, but the problem is that the brakes will not hold the aircraft back when this is done. This results in the aircraft rushing forward by a fairly long way until the revs drop nd the brakes come into effect. Not so good when you are on the stand. How can this be change? Any suggestions would be good! Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Which one are you using John? A quick Google search came up with this - http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/2240/fsx-raf-shorts-tucano/ And this - http://www.simshed.co.uk/Tucano.html Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I am using the Simshed one. I looked at the other but I couldn't get it to work on my system - The undercarriage was missing!!! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Try loading the default Cessna 172 first, then load the Tucano, a PITA I know but some aircraft need it. Alternatively, save the default flight as the Cessna, then when you change the aircraft to the Tucano it may be OK, but not guaranteed, there's no refunds on advice!

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Quest Kodiak also tends to surge forward, overpowering even the parking brake in some conditions...putting the plane into Push Back just prior can be a pretty powerful deterrent to the engine surge as a temp work around.
