You're right..., but if i really wish to do that just for a play around or just by mistake, it should work..., and it should do it realistically!;) About that 3 min 20 sec(200 seconds) time, that you've said we have to wait in order for the starter turbine to spool down since when the START VLV turns off..., should't it be the same even if we shut down that started engine before, or after one minute has passed since VLV turns off...? Because i've made a test and shut down the engine before one minute have passed since the START VLV light went off and even after it spooled up to idle rpm, i counted about 35-40 seconds and shut it down..., after that i waited for more than 5 minutes in order to make sure that damn starter turbine spooled down to a halt, then tried a restart..., but the same UGLY thing came back again:joystick:, the EGT started rising rapidly to 165 degrees again and the N1/2 RPM reamined at 0%:joystick::joystick:! This bug seems to get smarter everyday! Sorry about this, i don't know too much about programming eighter, but there must be someone who knows exactly how this works and what should be done...! We can only wait for the time to settle all these i guess!;) I'd just love that this simulator would be as best and realistic as possible, and i know that there is nothing perfect in this world, though that's why every piece of these initially insignificant problems that may alter it in the future, need to be fixed from way behind!:) Thank you and i wish everyone a happy day and a good work! Cheers, Mav.

Yeap, it should normally slow down almost as fast as a compressor if there's no airflow to keep that turbine spinning, and it would normally spool down faster!:)

K, so now from at least one minute..., for as far as i could see it's enough..., we need to wait 3 min 20 seconds after the START VLV light goes off, before shutting down the started engine, for a new restart...! If that starter turbine keeps spinning "so well greased" after the VLV light goes off and the sim may not be too realistically modeled in this area..., there should be a way or another to gather info about the real behaviour of that turbine, so it could be implemented in the simulator!;) Thanks for all your efforts guys! Good luck Beta Team! Cheers, Mav.

Video is designed to show the limits of what causes damage and what doesn't. You've got that right..., i know what the manual says about a normal startup, the gearbox oil pressure should be at x and the oil temp at y before moving the throttle to idle, the fuel cutoff valves opening moment and all that it says..., though i wanted to show the available engine management and it's limits that are more or less realistically modeled in the game...!;) Let's make it better, every day this unbeatable simulator should know more and more, as much as we do...!;)

I can only hope that all of you guys had time to watch this 2 parts/20 minutes vid of mine, so you can get more questions and answers...! I'm glad i could find you people!:D Cheers, Mav.

Engine restart problems discousable! So these would be the 2 videos that i've uploaded on youtube, where you can see what i was meaning about...!;):thumbup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYVTNF8jTE:joystick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnsreWnkz-0:joystick:

Glad to hear there's someone else who played Open Falcon!;) The explanation about the N1 or N2 showing 0% RPM when you want to start the engine comes if you have initially started your engine and didn't let it stay at idle for more than one minute, no matter how long after, but at least one minute(60 seconds), after which if you turn it off, the engine will start like never before, LOL! You can also check the vids that i've provided for this aspect on youtube:

Well, that's what i was trying to tell you all about, and this, that you may have found as well!:D Making the most realistic sim in the world requires time and sweat to clarify all these things..., but everything worths it in the end!:D Thank you!

What are the most possible reasons for which the engine will remain at 0% GG RPM and won't start anymore? Fristly, one engine starts and after i shut it down i won't be able to start it back because the RPM will be stuck at 0% when i want to restart, but still, there would be like 165 degrees centigrade readable on the EGT gague...! The only method that i've found so far after i start an engine..., I HAVE to let it stay at idle for at least one minute before i shut it down:doh:, because if i shut it down before one minute passes since started, i won't be able to start it anymore...!:(Dohh:(
