mytai01 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I've tried restarting the engine after it flamed out, but the switch that used to do that does nothing now. What's going on? Is it broke or did the procedure change?

TheSkipjack95 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Are you sure you are doing it correctly ? IIRC, the procedure is to flip the switch above the extinguisher switch ( the one you activate on startup ) , cut then slam the throttle forward, and then, if you still have enough airspeed ( a shallow dive will do ), press the engine start button, and pray it starts again.
PiedDroit Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I did a restart and it worked, a few days ago with the new version. I never had to use the start button though, I usually flip the switch, set throttle to shut-off then pray, it works most of the time. I monitor rpm and sound and move throttle (and flip the switch back) once I checked the engine relight worked, without ever using the engine start push button. The procedure is at 2.4. Engine Relight, page 163 of the manual. Edited March 4, 2015 by PiedDroit
Kobymaru Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I've tried restarting the engine after it flamed out, but the switch that used to do that does nothing now. What's going on? Is it broke or did the procedure change? Have you fulfilled all conditions? You need to: - Have enough Oxygen left (Gauge LV2) - Be slower than Mach 1 (Gauge CM81, thick needle) - Be faster than 500 km/h IAS (Gauge CM88) - Throttle set to zero

mytai01 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 OK. I got it to work. Thanks for the peramiters. I was too slow and low.

DaveRindner Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 No it works. Assuming you have altitude. Turn on emergency in-flight start. Verify that APU is ON(up position). Dive at 10-20 angle. Hold down Engine Start for 5 seconds until you hear engine whine of compressor starting. I tried both hi and low altitude starts. Good way to practice is from level flight engage emergency afterburner. Accelerate to 900+ go into vertical climb. Keep climbing until aircraft stalls nose high attitude. At this point MIG will depart, so engage stabilize. After stabilizing the aircraft would in a shallow dive. Follow the air start procedure. Its a sim, so if you get it wrong, try again, and again.

Where did you get that procedure? A lot of people seem to mix the ground start procedure (APU + push engine start) and the air relight procedure (flip the air start switch until engine start for no more than 45s). The air restart is much simpler really: Throttle idle, flip the switch, wait for the restart, open throttle and flip the air start switch back. Read page 163 of the manual where the altitude / speed minimal conditions are described.
