Just some feedback from de dev's about their view on his bug would be nice. Until then it remains griping in a vacuum.

Maybe the turbo in your truck is as big as the JFS of the F16 , I gues you are an American But Nope...it is not the sound of the JFS, the green light is still On when it happens, so JFS Still running. Nothing should make a spool down sound at this starting fase. Regards

It is allways getting verry quiet after this bug is brought up. I think it is a serious bug, thats why I brought it up years ago and now. It gets a bit frustrating to have to wait for a few years again, and then having to bring it up again. So.. Is there someone who can give some feedback about the contrail problem ? If it is impossible to fix, then it would be usefull to get a way to turn the contrails off. Just an answer, from someone who knows the facts about this bug please. Regards

Glad to hear it's not just me... Would sound cool, if it was accurrate. It isn't..

Okay, if it doesn't sounds strange to most users, then just leave it like this. But If I would hear the frequency of an engine going down any time during the start cycle irl, it would be alarming to me. It sounds like the rpm is going down for a few moments at about 40% rpm. Like the sound of a car engine when shifting from first to second gear in an accelerating car . Regards.

Thanks, yep..the real thing sounds about wright... In DCS the lower pitch and longer sound is what i meant. It can't be the JFS because that would be way to early in the startup cycle. Also the green RUN light remains on during the winddown sound. So the JFS is still running. Thanks for the reply

Hello, So, does nobody hear the sound i'm hearing ??. To be more clear, it is not a complete winddown i hear, but after throttle to idle, in between about 40 to 55 % rpm, for a few seconds I hear the engine winding to a lower RPM. After that 55% that the engine sounds normal again.

WindDownSound.trk The winddown sound is most obvious between 40 and 55 % RPM. @Lace: JFS runlight is still on, so thats not the cause, and IRL that is very differend an abrupt sound. Regards

After placing the throttle in idle during startup, there is the sound of engine winding down for a moment. The rpm indication is increasing but the sound is of an engine decreasing in rpm.

Thanks for the Answer I wil have to look it up, .. I was a F16 technical Instructor (Dutch MLU), and a Flight Engineer on the Dutch P3C Orion. It was definately a fact that the Gearhandle light indicated the situation that the Gear is not in the position commanded by the Gearhandle. The Gear Handle light not On when selected down, would be very strange in any Aircraft with a Landing Gear System, and would have no useful purpose. Maybe some real life pilots could step in and conferm this. But i will deliver documentation if i find it. Regards

When the gearhandle is selected to the down position, the red light in the handle should come on immidiately. In DCS It takes a few seconds before the light comes on after the handel is selected Down (this is not Correct). The handle light should come on immidiate and anytime the gearhandle is not in the same position that the gear itself is in. So: - When the landing gear is UP and locked AND the handle is NOT in the Up position...The Handle light should be ON. - When the landing gear is DOWN and locked AND the handle is NOT in the DOWN position...The Handle light should be ON. - When the landing gear is in an intermidiate position between down and locked and Up and locked, like during travel .The Handle light should be ON until the gear has reached the same position as the Gearhandel. Only the Gear down selection gives an incorrect (Late) Light activation in DCS. I have reported this a loooooong time ago, should be easy to fix i thought. Hope it will be fixed soon. Regards

Okay tried it several times. Bat On,Inverter On, regulator supply lever On as per default. This time it worked okay, but after a few more presses on the test button it kept spinning again. The animation of the testbutton shows pressed in when i Click on it and releases as i should all the time, but once in a while it seems that the function of the button reverses. so then, if i press it when it is spinning , the needle returns to zero. very strange. Made no track yet, because it is so random. Ah well i can live with it , maybe someone will recognize the bug also later on and make a clearer discription of it. Regards, and thanks for the replies

I see that the the button poppes back after releasing it, so there should be no conflict.. And the only happens if the green supply lever of the regulator is On. I'll check it again and make a track file.. I'll get back on it..

When pushing the O2 test button, the needle rotates to and through Empty as it should. But when releasing the switch, the needle keeps rotating to the left and the caution light remains going on and off. I noticed that it only shows this fault when the Oxygen regulator supply lever is on. When the Oxygen regulator is OFF, and the restbutton is then pushed and released..it operates normally. Regards

Is there any information about the faulty Airspeed indication of the Chinook? It is a Basic but very important aircraft function i think. Why does it take so long to fix it ? Would be great if the Dev's could tell that they acknolege the bug and gave the reason for the delay of fixing it. Regards
