Engine Governor ?

[tusler]

Hi,

I was playing with my upgraded BS2 yesterday and after I completed a mission I was shutting down...for fun.:)

I started the APU, dropped the throttles to idle, put the fuel shutoffs in the OFF position and then I went over to the other side and flipped the governor switches to the OFF (down) position.

The engines rpm and the rotor rpm began to increase and was continuing to run with the fuel turned off...:doh:

What is up with that?:huh:

So i had to put the governor back on to slow it down.

I am not understanding how this system works.

I know...put on the rotor brake and it stops all but was wondering how is the eng's getting fuel with fuel off.

Thanks

That... sounds...... strange... You happen to have a track file?

I'll make a track later today and post it.

thanks for the reply!

Well, cancel that. I just tried to duplicate what happened yesterday and I could not do it. Every thing worked exactly as it would be expected to respond to the switches. If it happens again I'll be sure to save a track file.

The Mechanic put a "could not duplicate" on the VIDs form.:D
