The static_thrust, is entry in the aircraft.cfg for the engine power. Aircraft in FSX can have a maximum of four engines.
Captain Sim have the setting at 30000 (30000 / 2 = 15000) so that equates to 15000 lbs of thrust for each engine. See the bold lettering below. [TurbineEngineData] fuel_flow_gain = 0.002 //Gain on fuel flow inlet_area = 17.0 //Square Feet, engine nacelle inlet area rated_N2_rpm = 29920 //RPM, second stage compressor rated value static_thrust = 30000 //Lbs, max rated static thrust at Sea Level afterburner_available = 0 //Afterburner available? reverser_available = 0 //Thrust reverser available? ThrustSpecificFuelConsumption = 0.40 According to Wikipedia (I know it isn't the best source of information, but it will do): Powerplant: 8× Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-3/103 turbofans, 17,000 lbf (76 kN) each. So you can see that Captain Sim have set each of the engines at less power. Captain Sim could provide a more detailed answer than mine. Let's hope they do. Mark |
