wizemanold Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi! Is it normal that plane start moving after parking brake release while engines throttle position in "Groud Idle" and engines are in "Beta"?Because of this, during the taxing I need to apply brakes all the way and let throttle stay in "Ground Idle". At the same time the plane is not empty and carry some payload and fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloB Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yes, it is normal. Set condition lever to max and reduce throttle/use brakes during taxi if necessary. No problem here. Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have made some adjustments regarding this, which will be in the next update.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monbeg Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yes, it is normal. Set condition lever to max and reduce throttle/use brakes during taxi if necessary. No problem here. Flo Hi FloB.The condition lever position doesn't achieve anything regardless of where it is in the Min/Max range on the ground.The propellers are maintained at a minimum rpm of 1040 by the bottom governor and will only increase above that speed when the power levers are moved either forward or aft to a point where such a load is applied that the bottom governor senses that it may not be able to maintain the minimum rpm and blade load and directs* more fuel to the engine which results in an increase in both Ng and prop rpm.When taxying after initial movement the aircraft will tend to continue to accelerate unless you inhibit its progress by retarding the power levers to control forward speed. On down slope taxiways you will also need to use the brakes to maintain a constant taxi speed.(*how this is done is an enormous topic in itself) My 2 cents worth.Cheers.

FloB Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I just wanted to make sure that the OP actually sets his CL within the min/max range and I for myself set them to max when taxiing for TO (since that is required for TO anyway).But you're absolutely right in pointing out the exact meaning of the throttle-lever and CL settings. Thanks. Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arb65912 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Guys, not a big deal but curious. I have run on some videos where Saab taxi back in Beta mode. I am not able to do it in simulator. Is it set like that on purpose or maybe Version A was not capable of doing it? Cheers, AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, AJ Hi AJThe props should be indicating that they are in Beta mode when on the ground with the power levers below Flt Idle position and the prop blade angles are below ~+8 deg.I am still waiting to get my issue of the software and I may be able to better answer some of questions if and when it arrives Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb65912 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thank you Monbeg, does it mean that I should see the taxiing reverse after Jim makes some adjustment in next update? Cheers, AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
