Multi engine start order

Post by jgowing »

I'm sure this is an easy one, but so far I can't find the answer: I have a small project underway; how do I get the engines to start sequentially on a twin engined prop? I haven't found anything in the aircraft.cfg file as yet..

Going back a year or so it was the very same question that we tried to answer for Nicks A400M. We didn't at that time come up with a solution.

John came up with some unique timing processes for the C-1 and V-22 and I think at one time he theorized that it might be able to be applied to multi-engine startup. I think it was a nested timer process that caused one animation at the trigger then a second animation after a delay.

I would send John a message after he gets back.

If this works, now I will spend even more time watching my AI.

Wow what a coincidence, I was watching a few old multi-prop aircraft start up on Youtube the other day and thought how cool it would be to get our AI to do that, I hope it can be done, like Victory103 above I too will be watching more of my ai lol.
