How does the twin prop STOPS it's engines?

1,249 SteamPunkPilot  2.7 years ago

I've observed that when you press the buttons in the cockpit of the twin prop,it will start the engines obviously

But I observed that if I deactivate those same buttons, the engines stops

When I use the same codes in my airplane,and turn the engines off,they keep running, any idea why?

    In the first 'inputcontroller' section in Overload/XML, there will be an option zeroOnDeactivate. This should be set to true. Then assign an AG or variable (the variable should be linked to a button, switch or lever) to the engine.

    @SteamPunkPilot should be towards the bottom of 'propengineadvanced'.
    If not, it's in 'inputcontroller' (or something like that).

    @FeatherWing I did check a lot of things in the overload menu,but I guess I have to see the XML. Files anyways... Do you know any name for me to locate such?

    Check the XML. There's a section on prop engines that has a true/false value which changes if the prop engine will stop when deactivated or continue to run once started.
