That's just your environmental problem. Don't disturb me.

a little late, but I managed to get it running. for some reason (stormworks glitch), turbines just don't work on certain ships, especially in XML edited build areas.

I don't know your usage condition so I can't give you good advice.

Are you trying to start the engine while connected to the load(generator, propeller...etc)? Connect after the engine rotation has increased.
Also, adjust the PID control parameters yourself according to the your usage conditions. If you even only set proportional control, there is no problem.

amazing work, i love it

for some reason, when I mount it on my ship, it just cuts out before it spools up. no idea why.
