Zoltar Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Hi All, I have upgraded to 1.12 patch recently and i am noticing a strange behaviour. I don't know if this was there prior to 1.12 pathc. When i hit "Alt + home" key to start the left engine, tachometer needles don't move at all. I hear a loud thunk after a few seconds, similar to lowring under carriage or flaps. After that i can here the noise of engine raising from smll humming to a screem but still the needles are motionless :huh: I then hit "Shift + Home" for right engine and the result is same. Also sometimes the a/c doesn't come to a grinding halft after hitting "W" key and holding it. All these things happen with SU -25. Any suggestions? :helpsmilie: Thanks.
nscode Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Did you turn on the power (Shift+L)? Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
VMFA117_Poko Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 True. Su25 is the only aicraft in LockOn that need switching power on also.
ARM505 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I find those aircraft also have dismal brakes. Are they that bad IRL? The parachute is a necessary option.
Teo Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Also, check that your throttle is at idle. I had trouble starting the su-25, before calibrating my throttle.
504bigtonka Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 from what limited info Ive seen so far - yes the froggies do have "crappy" wheelbrakes. As for the startup issues and the "thunk" noises - yeah it probably is the lack of avionics power up.... Ill try it next time im in the pit and see.... Im pretty diligent in hitting shift-l and i cant say Ive ever seen that particular phenomena happening.... BomberWing, VVS504 Red Hammers - http://www.vvs504.co.uk
STAR_80 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 The Su-25 does have simulated failed engine starts every 1 in 30 startups. You have to shut down and let it spool all the way down. Then restart. Sometimes they do not restart you have to get a new bird.
Zoltar Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks guys for the help. I have been able to start the aircraft and the tachometer needles do work properly, once i hit SHIFT + L before spooling the engines. I ran into another issue. I have built a mission for A-10 for navigation earlier and just replaced A-10 with SU-25 for the heck of it. The distance to first and second waypoint is shown correctly by the nav computer, but when i approach ILS it shows the dist. to way point 445 KM !! :shocking: I tried hitting ~ to toggle various ILS, but the result varies in the range of 400 to 450 KM. The same mission works fine with A-10 and F-15 C. :huh: Any suggestions? Thanks.
