If you change the engine type, you also need to change all of the engine parameters to be appropriate to that type.

OK

That then goes back to my original thought


Thanks

This is the standard engine data
[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type = 1
Engine.0 = -18.0, 0, 1.468
fuel_flow_scalar = 1
min_throttle_limit=0.000000

[TurbineEngineData]
fuel_flow_gain = 0.0021
inlet_area = 0.6333
rated_N2_rpm = 13500 //rpm @ 100%
static_thrust = 2250 //(Dry)
afterburner_available = 0
reverser_available = 1

[jet_engine]
thrust_scalar = 1.0

and this is my modified one

[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type =5
fuel_flow_scalar = 1
min_throttle_limit=0.00000
engine.0 = -18.0, 0, 1.468

[TurbineEngineData]
static_thrust = 2250 //(Dry)
inlet_area = 0.6333
rated_N2_rpm = 13500 //rpm @ 100%
fuel_flow_gain = 0.0021
reverser_available = 1
afterburner_available = 0

[turboprop_engine]
maximum_torque=1000.00000
power_scalar=1.0

It now taxies and takes off and flys ok...but when coming into land at 700ft onwards on approach the aircraft goes up and down in altitude then crashes into the runway and vanishes,any ideas??
