I think it should be pointed out _explicitly_ that you _have_ to start your
engine(s) manually - at least as long as you use JSBSim.
I tried --prop:/engine/running (or similar) exactly as proposed by David
Megginson a couple of weeks (?) ago. This one doesn't work for me (CVS of
last thursday), so I don't have any clue how to start FlightGear with my
(the airplane's) engines running.
I consider this as a required option for novices - although I might be
proven to be wrong. Anyway I'd dare to suggest making running engines a
default on startup - knowing that this might be an excellent start for a
flame war ;-)))
I'm quite interested in this topic because Michael Basler and I are required
to have precise information on this for putting the right phrases into the
"Getting Started" manual. Thanks,
Martin.
