ctguy1955 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I recently tried about 12 times in Dogs of War multiplayer to start up my Mustang and was never able to do so. I then went into single player mode and it started right up the very first time I tried. I am playing single player in sim mode, not game mode, so can someone tell me what the heck am I doing wrong ? Thanks
Solty Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Here you have why it works that way. There is a bug with high oil pressure. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135055 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

ctguy1955 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) thank You so much Solty !!! It was driving me nutso ! Im wondering if there is a work around for this ? Edited January 28, 2015 by ctguy1955
msalama Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 ...if there is a work around for this? They say oil dilution before starting the engine works, although I haven't tried this myself since I've only flown choppers lately. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Solty Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 They say oil dilution before starting the engine works, although I haven't tried this myself since I've only flown choppers lately. I am using closed throttle and 5seconds of primer and you can add some dilution. It should help :) (YEAH I know it is wierd :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

ctguy1955 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thank You all for the help. Next time I go home I will try the oil dilution trick and hope it starts.
WildBillKelsoe Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 ED have it sorted in the closed beta and will release soon. For now, move mixture between idle cutoff and full rich, then return to idle cutoff, then as engine starts coughing, return to full rich. You will also need to dilute your oil using oil dilute button (better map it to controller). AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Merlin-27 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I'm a little late to this... But yes, ct, this is a bit of a nuisance for the moment but can be overcome. Many use the oil dilute or ground power to help the start. If you have your mixture positions mapped to something easy to switch you can "feel" it out and get the engine to catch by moving amongst the three positions like WildBill stated. That is my preferred way and it works 99% of the time. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] [Dogs of War] WWII COMBAT SERVER | P-51D - FW190-D9 - Me109-K4 Visit Our Website & Forum to Get More Info & Team Speak Access

HeadHunter52 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Just a newbie, here, and I was on for the first time Tuesday, the 27th. I had a bit of a problem the first few attempts. Eventually got it started by using 2 secs of prime, and moving mixture to Run the instant the engine caught. I was holding the start switch for a few seconds, too. Managed to get 4 starts that night in that manner.

Solty Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I dont know Solty, but that thread doesnt explain why there is difference in SP and MP, or am I missing something? If you read the first post, you will see that the OP had problem with starting the Pony in Multiplayer. And he asked what he was doing "wrong". So I have directed him to a topic where he gets the explanation. Some people there (including me) said how to startup the P-51D in both normal and cold weather.:smartass: PS. It is just a bug, bugs dont have explanation. Edited January 30, 2015 by Solty [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

I think weather plays a part...which is why you may see different results in different missions.

sobek Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 If its a bug, you should report it Merlin, or is it as intended based on weather conditions? It's fixed but not merged. Reported it a while back. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
