Welcome to
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s SDK Q&A Platform!
Please take a moment to read the platform’s guidelines before you get started!
Removing the variable fuel_flow_gain from [TURBINEENGINEDATA] causes several weird behaviours, even though the documentation clearly states it being deprecated and not used anymore.
Some observed behaviours (non exhaustive) when leaving out the variable definiton:
Hello @GutsherrBus9
We have identified a bug where missing parameters will cause the turbine config reading to silently fail and leave some parameters uninitialized.
For now, the parameters I have identified as causing the problem are:
fuel_flow_gain
static_thrust
inlet_area
rated_N2_rpm
afterburner_available
inlet_area and rated_N2_rpm are documented as required so I think everyone defines it and it's not causing much problem.
But the others are either optional or deprecated, but still cause this problem when missing.
We have fixed the issue on our side but in the meantime, you want to make sure those parameters are defined in your cfg and you can edit the FileDefs_AircraftEditor.xml file in the fs-devmode package and remove any exclusion element to prevent the AircraftEditor from removing them on save.
For example, for static_thrust, you want to remove this part:
Thank you for reporting the problem and our apologies for the setback.

Do not always trust the SDK as it could have mistakes or need to be updated. I use a program called grepwin and you can search key works so right now Asobo default planes that use this cfg setting are here in the image shared. Looks like jets engines or turboprops need this cfg.
