Hi Tom, Doh.. just read the Text Doc with the package and now see instantly my mistake! In fact that should make it much more straightforward to begin to understand how these work in the sim. Thanks very much for the info.
Andy.

Hi, I'm using this beauty and the panel in the pictures, but sometimes the autothrottle and speed limiter functions don't do what they should... the engines die out (unspool?) and the flight comes to a murky end. I have tried changing the cfg to allow a/t, but to no avail and I'm interested in knowing what I'm doing wrong. Thank you all, Andy.

I don't know, but the real Electra didn't have autothrottle or a speed limiter, so maybe it's trying to tell you that.

A Big Hugs to everyone in this excellent Forum that today I was able to discover, Greetings from Venezuela. I am one of the few Cap Propliner in venezuela flying on the fs2004 platform models: dc-3 - BASLER - Super dc-3 - AN2 among others. I have just started working on a L-188 model, in my case that of Lucariny and it is presenting me with two challenges that I could not improve .. 1- I already put a good sound on it and I used the Orion engines 2- I already placed the p3 panel (here we show you) 3- I already put a martinair texture on it since I can't find a buffalo texture for this model in fs2004
PROBLEMS 1 -when I land and I remove all the power to the minimum the plane gets up (the tail goes to the floor and the mariz to the air) here we say a horse ... I noticed that in all the Orion models there are for him fs2004 the same thing happens ... I don't know how to improve the CFG so that this does not happen ..
2- I activate the autopilot, the throttle car and the low lever rises low rises without stopping it does not hold a speed anymore when I am in cruise level rest and level when increasing the speed if it stays in the HIGH but when going down and looking for speeds by the 200 the marker oscillates nonstop

Browsing the Web I could find a publication where there should be some textures for Lucariny's L-188 Inspired in Buffalo that I looked for and being new to these things on the forum I don't know how to find them if any of you know how to download or find them please help me Here is the link where is all the theme of L188 www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?207859-In-Celebration-of-the-188-Electra

Hi,
It sounds like the engines are in the wrong location in the General Engine section of the plane's aircraft.cfg file? Have you tried the Electra flight dynamics update on my L-188 Electra page?

Hello, what a joy to see such a prompt response .. I am excited to know that there is someone active in this forum since in Venezuela I am alone in the world of propliner, there is no community, very few are those who fly Aircraft like this .. and how good to know that there are more people I can talk to .. FRIEND I have not tried your cfg because I am new to this forum and I do not know how to search. I even posted a post to see if they help me locate a buffalo texture for the lucariny because I surf and surf and nothing ... If you can, leave me a link where I can click and it will redirect me to the place where I can download the CFG ... My L188 is already flying but without being able to use auto speed since it does not work efficiently but using manual speed if it behaves well ... I imagine that in real life this plane did not have speed control

To get to the aircraft, click on the CalClassic Propliner Page link at the top of this page. Then click on the The Aircraft link at the top right of that page. Then click on the L-188 Electra link.
Changing the positions of the engines is not an easy task, involving a lot of trial and error (i.e. flight testing).
Hopefully the FSAviator flight dynamics will do the trick as is. It includes everything you need (less a single model download), just add your textures to those planes.

Greetings Tom, I got off the plane and I was speechless, everything I needed is on your plane. you leave me speechless, excellent job The only thing that I could not control is the speeds so that it works well with the autopilot autospeed. Rest all performance - the plane does not lift on a wheelie - and the engine's behavior is optimal

I wanted to know if you could help me with the link that I left above, I don't know if you know where I can find that buffalo texture for the fs9 Lucarin model or I don't know if you have it and you can help me to have it

Sorry, don't know of one.

The Electra has no "Autopilot Autospeed" (English name "Automatic Throttle = Autothrottle") You must manually control engine power.
Enjoy, the plane is great!

One reason for the tail sitting/ nose rising is because the power has been set to max reverse and the brakes are applied. If using max reverse as in backing the acft, do not touch the brakes. On landing roll out, come out of reverse prior to coming to a full stop. You can tail sit on any acft with reverse thrust : DC-6, DC-7, Constellation or Convair. A friend who flew DC-9s for an airline that used to power back from the gate said it was possible to lift the nose wheel well clear of the ground if not careful.
We backed the C-130 all the time. The C-141 and C-5 were also capable of backing, though they only did it in an emergency such as turning a big plane down the wrong narrow taxiway.

In the case of the calclasic model, I have tested it and thus apply all the reverse and braking power, the plane does not rise but it was difficult for me to pass the dynamics of an airplane
