Problem with engine max power penalty

[BlazeFytr]

Greets Dan! First off, let me say that out of the 1000's of dollars I've spent on flightsimming through the years, FSPassengers has been
the best money ever spent! Fantastic and finally gives me a realistic reason to fly and specific goals to achieve!
However, I'm having a bit of a problem. I keep getting the following penalty:

Pilot's Penalty points: -250 points
Pushing the engines to maximum power with parking brakes set is not a good idea. (-250)

This happens every time in the following aircraft: FSD Piaggio Avanti; F-1 Cessna 441; F-1 ATR 72-500
The only way to prevent this is to start FSPass after I've started the engines....I've noticed that in the turboprops, when starting engines
they spool up to full torque, then settle down to ground idle. I believe this has been mentioned before, but wanted to ask if there's a
possiblity of putting a timer in the program to not check for max power until x seconds after engine start or some other fix.
I hate to bother you with this, but I now have 5 perfect flights, one good flight and one horrible flight (prop pilots shouldn't fly heavy jets
without much more training! ) yet I'm at -21 points........

Thank you again for such a great program and for bringing FS to life!!

I've had this with the PMDG beech1900 too

Same prob with the F1 Pilatus PC-12. I finally learned to start the engines before I load the passengers.

Ok finnaly if I resume this happen on almost all turboprop ?

I'll simply disable this penalty for turboprop,

what you think ? look good ?

It must be just the turboprops, as I have run a coupla single props and of course the big heavies with no problems. So that may be the
best option is to diable for turbos.
Thanks for your quick response and for working to fix it!

It is, the ATR can be worked around as it's so well done with systems etc. But some of the others may be a problem. May I suggest when
starting them until Dan sorts this out a small but maybe effective solution;

bring up the throttle quadrent (2d panel) before you start the engines and feather the props. Love to know if this works for you guys so let
me know please. The ATR is similar, just make sure on any that you release the brake before you unfeather the props, and feather them
before you put the brake on at the gate.

Ok, just updated the code, turboprop will not be tested anymore in next update...

Thanks for reporting,

Wow! For a one man operation, this kind of customer service and attention to details makes some of the big teams look bad! Great job
Dan and thanks again for putting the fun back into flying!
