  1. Pitot Heat Switches ae? Hmmm back to the manual lol, have no idea what they are for.
  2. I think your spot on with both those points. I didnt think about engine inlet ice protection. And I guess im being a bit too demanding on the poor engines. Basicly at those high altitudes I should consider 130kph a "speed limit" so to speak? I normally wait for Max IAS warning before considering any loss of RPM as a possibility. Thanks for the input Frederf And thanks EthrealN for checking that track. Come to think of it I think you might come to the same conclusion. Over worked engine - loss of RPM - loss of AC current? Wait a minute.. I thought high RPMs were needed to drive the generator? Why couldnt the batteries just kick in? Just happened again... This time as soon as I gave the tiniest bit more collective, mustve been just on the lowest RPM before I gave more collective.
  3. Yea if you wouldnt mind reviewing it for me?! Crash happens very close to LZ so a bit of time accel is in order here. Shortly after the transports radio in "flaring" That would be great if you could tell me what happened. Basiclly once the transports disappear over the horizon at LZ, reduce time accel. I thought it might have been accidental button press but after reviewing track I cant see anything important switched off. Nor any visible damage so I dont think it was enemy ground units. Altitude WTF HAPPENED!.trk
  4. WHAT THE HELL!!! 3rd attempt on Altitude mission 1km out from LZ "Watch Ekran" Ekran says ELEC ON ACCUM (or something along those lines) And I plummit like a brick Sudden and random electrical failure?? Any ideas? My EEG Power limiter never kicked in once during flight I tried to maintain 900 degrees EGT, but for some reason I loose electrical power and plummit to a firey death AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
  5. Yea thats what I figured, that it doesnt care whether its on or not the fact still remains it needs to be on and its being a helpful lil Ekran by reminding me. Im still trying to complete that Altitude mission :noexpression: Just now I made it to the LZ, although Left Engine failed afterwards for some reason, I flew very gently to LZ, managed to restart it ok (after thinking it was stuffed and tried to make it back on 1 engine). But then wingie states SAM 11 o'clock! (After just exiting the valley) Holy left engine over-torque batman! I gotta get outta here! He engages but gets blown to smitherines, meanwhile im trying to hit the dirt but get hit twice by SAMs which you can imagine did not go down to well for the wellbeing of the heli. Why did the SAMs not go for the transports? as they were ahead of me due to me lagging behind for half the trip on only 1 engine.
  6. After many hours practising to control this twitchy beast I decided to take on a mission. "Altitude" I believe it was called. All was going well, started to get a bit of altitude etc, and just as I remembered a developer hint that was in the briefing regarding anti-icing the Ekran popped up and said Rotor Anti-Ice On. So I switch it on and the message disappears. All is well But then the message appeared again.. Im thinking Ekran either wants me to turn it off and on again for the hell of it or its not on properly. (Top panel says it was on) Why would I receive Enable Rotor Anti-Ice message twice? Thanks in advanced
  7. Ahhhh :doh: Thanks alot for the detailed answers. I can't believe the learning curve of this game, insanity. Now to try improve my rocket aim, havnt been able to hit anything without being right on top of the damn target..
  8. Hi guys/gals 2 weird things happened in this flight 1: I ubruptly tried to bring helo to a hover which ruined an engine, which is understandable considering how I attempted the manuever. however left panel warning lights said something wrong with Left Engine and the Top panel said something wrong with Right Engine (or vice versa, cant remember now) 2: Trying to use Vikhrs. Spotted target with HMS, locked target, fired. Vikhr went off on its own mission... Not entirely sure where it went but it didnt hit the target. (I did have to switch to manual as I may have been too close??, would this cause the Vikhr to completely miss target?). Sometimes you get a range of target using Shvkval sometimes you dont. Could be doing something wrong I guess. I would like to know why the Left warning lights said something wrong with Left Engine and the top panel said something wrong with right. And would like to know why Vikhrs didnt fly designated path. And yes the crash at the end was from my own stupidity (Never drink and fly) P.S First post, Hello All! What an amazing sim! P.P.S Still learning this sim, only 3-4 hrs stick time. And 9-10 Hrs reading/watching utube P.P.P.S I never reviewed the track as its 12:27 am and need sleep so could probably answer these questions once Ive had some sleep. And please watch track before replying. Its not that I dont appreciate feedback, its just I would like you to see whats happening first. Numerous Disasters.trk
