Starting the engine

[peter]

What am I missing? Pulling the starter handle spins the prop ever so slowly and the engine doesn't fire. Called ground crew, magnetos and boost pumps on and all breakers pushed in. Pulled the fuel primer a few times as well.

Sounds like you're doing every thing right... check this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129347 and see the startup tutorial video by Wags see if you got everything down.

Thank you sir!

I dream that in the future an animated guy will actually stand on the wing and crank the engine.

 

Then he'll pat me on the back and yell good luck sir then run for cover!

Not a few times on that primer but 16 times to bring pressure between the mim and max marks is what you are missing.

^^ My thoughts exactly!

Thank you gentlemen. I found that I wasn't giving the ground crew enough time to crank the engine before pulling the start handle.

They don't crank your engine, they wind up your inertia starter.

I feature requested this before the module was released, but with Yo-Yo's contacts, there was no real communication between pilot and ground crew, everyone knew what to do and when to do it... an animated ground crew dude would be sweet for sure...

Any one know why I can't bind the "signal starting crew" to a keyboard command? I can only bind it to a joystick button. the "Add" button is greyed out when I try.

[zaelu]

it's missing from the default.lua from keyboard folder from Input... etc.
