Carenado Pilatus Pc12 (XP10 ver) Engine fire?

[Arbadacarba]

(Turns out it’s because I’m using the XP10 version)

Anyone else with this aircraft know why i get a fire when starting engine?

It's a known bug for the PC12 and TBM 850 when using X-plane 11. No idea if anyone has been able to find a fix, or if Carenado plans on updating.

Nope, its just very broken in X plane 11. Far more issues then the engine fire are present including the AP and FD, click spots being way off ect... Actually my first thought was it was some kind of DRM issue, so i downloaded a new copy direct from Carenado.
And seriously, if you are going to call someone a thief have some proof.

The TBM850 is only updatet to work with XP11, it´s not a fully update.

The PC12 in the newest version is a complete update and noe XP11 only.

By the way, no probs with PC12 aslong you use the correct procedures to start the engine.

You can also very fast fire up the BAe 32 when doing wrong, it´s not a bug.

Yeah I figured this out, I have the XP10 version and forgot to come back and update this post.
That being said it appears there are still issues with the fms with the XP11 edition and I’ve been burned to many times by carenado to shell out another 30$

I have no will power when it comes to the PC12, Carenado did a really nice job on the XP11 version, very happy with the purchase but sadly there are still bugs ;_;

I posted this in the other thread:

"I'm miffed that I purchased the PC-12 for XP-11 many months ago. It was labeled as being specifically for XP-11 and there was a separate XP-10 version too. This "XP-11" version had issues working on XP11 too.

Then a few weeks ago, out comes the REAL XP-11 version, and the store page for the version I purchased was changed to read XP-10.

Ok, no problem... I asked about getting a discount on the new XP-11 since I already purchased it as such on their forum... and the DEVs became very agitated about it, even tried to ban any mention of this.

Meanwhile almost every other developer issues discounts for their updates. I jump on those without thinking.

Caveat Emptor with Carenado."

Ok, so it turns out there is a simple fix for the startup engine fire issue!

The fix is easy, but I do recommend that you make a backup of the aircraft's folder before doing this, just in case.

- First, go into the aircraft's folder and open its .acf file with Windows notepad (or Notepad++ if you have it).
- Next, search for "max_ITT". Windows notepad makes the data look like a mess, but don't worry.
- Just to the right of the max_ITT is a number. Change this value to a lower number. For the TBM, you want to change it from 840 to 500. I don't have the X-plane 10 version of the PC12, so I'm not sure what the best value is for that, but I imagine it's probably close to the same ratio.
- Save the file and you're done!

Note- You DO NOT want to try to edit the aircraft in X-plane 11's planemaker. I think Carenado has some sort of custom script that can cause X-Plane to crash if a plane was edited with a different version of planemaker than it was created in. You might be able to edit it in X-plane 10's planemaker though.

Even after editing the plane, you still have to be gentle with the fuel mixture on startup though. Just gently feed it until you're above 50% NG.
