No heli-turbine type in Aircraft Editor (SU12)

When I open my helicopter project in the Aircraft Editor (which has engine_type = 3 in the engines.cfg), only piston and turboprop elements can be selected in the Engines type dropdown. When saving the aircraft in the editor, it ends up setting engine_type = 5 in the cfg file. Is this expected behavior, why has the heli-turbine type disappeared?

Hello @aenbacka ,

I just tested it and the Helo-turbine is in the list.
The value is set to 3 when we select and save the config. 1680076239455.png
Can you send us your project to investigate ?

I also now tried to create a new aircraft project, as well as open the sample Cabri G2 project; also in these cases I have only Piston and turboprop in the dropdown list.

Hi @aenbacka ,

I was able to reproduce this using the category "Helicopter" instead of Aircraft. Indeed, this is an issue and this will be reviewed.


Thank you for pointing this out :)

Regards,
Boris
