Runway at LIRQ and Dash8

<< < (3/3)

EHM-1980 Brian:
yeah i tried that last night - the problem of the front wheel giving way is fixed ( which is great ) but it is now shaking for me even when at a slow speed with the parking brake off?? :s

EHM-1001 Robert:
Yes I realized that shaking effect. It comes from the engines, and at the moment I do not know how to solve it. But it stops at me when releasing the parking brakes.

I never seen this effect before ! But I guess it has something to do with the strength of the brake system.

EHM-1651 Christian:
Well actually the DHC-8series shake when throttle is applied with brakes applied, like when powering up before takeoff.
It might help to feather the propellers???

EHM-1001 Robert:
I am afraid it comes from the enormous torque that the DASH8 engines generates. It have a unique 5000 SHP engine with a unique 1200rpm propeller speed. This is 2 times power of a general turboprop, making 3 times more torque...maybe simply FS cannot handle this power. I will try to analize the situation.
