    Greetings! If your plane takes off too early, than it's very likely that it has too much thrust and/or too low wing loading(I. e. abundace of lift) possibly combined with abundance of drag. Thus I suspect that "acceleration of jet engine"(correct term is "spool-up time") is not your actual problem. IRL aircraft engines can spool up to full power from idle pretty fast after being started, especially if they're not very big. So, I suggest you to increase the plane's weight and combine it with reduction of engine thrust, parts drag, and wing area. Also, i suggest you to use some funky input that increases engine thrust with speed to a certain degree.

    you can either:
    1. tune up the "max" value
    This will make slower accelerations, but it also makes the engine much stronger.
    2. add a "throttleResponse" in the "Engine" section, and put a number below 1.
    This will make the acceleration slower, and it doesn't make the engine stronger.
