Engine Start-up

[billstill]

I am wondering why the engine start-up and engine ignition transition is not smooth using the md-80 sound package found on this website. I use this sound package with SGA aircraft and get a nice transition.

It's "PERFECTLY SMOOTH" .... since it (like all AEROMUSICA soundpacks hosted by HJG) is "customised"/compiled especially for for the HJG MD80's and in accordance with the FDE files associated with each simulation.

In the case of the MD80's .... this particular soundpack has been available since around 2011 (that for the MD90 is a little more recent) and, as this forum support page will confirm, I, personally, have never heard of any such previous issue during this period and until now.

Other than the following "suggestions" .... I couldn't hazard a guess as to why, you say, it works smoothly with your SGA simulation .... yet apparently not so (in your particular case) with the HJG offering (for which it's been compiled) .... unless one's, possibly, altered ones HJG FDE, or, are possibly using other panel/gauge versions not represented or supported by HJG (such an incompatibility could, possibly, occur in the case of the latter). These are the only possibilities I can think of.

Coincidentally .... I was undertaking some test related work for the MD80's (in regard to an unrelated issue which a couple of folk reported recently) only just this morning .... and again .... experienced no such problems, myself, whatsoever.

Just as a matter of interest ....

How are you starting the engines on your HJG MD80's ?

Are you using basic FS CONTROL + E keyboard engine startup comands ? .... or .... Are you using the recommennded engine startup procedure (including the auto-startup feature represented in at least 1 of the 4 HJG MD80/90 panel options) for each HJG hosted/supported panel option ?
