Losing points

[mikpen14]

Does anyone know the reason I keep getting deducted 250 points for having my engines at full power with the parking brakes set? Im not
doing this and it just screwed a perfect flight and landing. I had bonuses like crazy, then lost 250 points.

Im flying the SSTSIM Concorde and It does this every flight

Its probably due to the engines revving up right after startup. Some aircraft rev up beyond the level allowed by FSP before settling down to idle
speed. To get around this, you could start FSP after starting the engines. I think this is also a penalty you can disable.

Thanks poden

I know that Concorde engines do idle up before settling down at start up. This could very well be there reason.

Does anyone know how to disable this? As I start the inboard engines at the gate with the APU then start the outboards after Push.

You could also release the park brake before starting up to avoid the pen

To disable the pen, see the FAQ

was able to disable it in the more options section.

I had a similar problem with an aircraft with an "assisted breaking" button, perfectly nice flight into the middle of nowhere with my SST,
and on landing the canards deployed as air brakes, and the engines reversed by themselves. -250 points for thrust reversers on below
60kts.

Bastards :-)
