riproren Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 The other night I was doing some flying around NTTR and managed to stall my F15. I was flying inverted at roughly 400kias and attempted a climb from that position. A neg G load began a red out, so I relaxed the climb slightly and that's when the jet stalled. I was at approx 12000ft, so I was able to roll and actually restarted the engines, but the temp/rpm ect stayed at zero. I could clearly hear the engines start and the standard noise, but had no thrust. I put the jet into a dive hoping that the wind might help, but alas no joy. I leveled out at around 2000ft and gracefully touched down in the open desert at 150kias. promptly burst into flames and perished. I've checked the manual and found nothing on an in air restart.

feefifofum Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Make sure your throttle is at idle (and you're no longer inverted, obviously :lol: ) and the engines should restart for you. What you heard was the APU/JFS coming on, which starts the engines themselves. :) THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC

What you heard was the APU/JFS coming on, which starts the engines themselves. :) I tried pulling the throttle back to idle several times and also tried full power several times. I'll try and recreate my stupidity and try having the throttle at idle on the restart to see if that works.:joystick: Thanks Alienware Area 51, Windows 10, I7-5820k, 6 cores 15mb Cache Overclocked to 3.8GGZ, 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 at 2133mhz, Dual Nvidia Titan X 12MB. 2TB 7200rpm sata 6gb/s,
winchesterdelta1 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I have seen this behavior before. I have a theory about this. It happens when you try several times to shut down and restart the engines. Maybe some power getting drained so the engines won't spool!! But you will still hear the sound. And even when the RPM gauge shows that your engines are running. they are not. (engine sound is also off). This happened to me several times when on the ground after trying to fast to shutdown and start the engines several times (i'm not sure how much). You can fix this by ordering a repair. After that the engines will start normally again. When this happens in the air in the close proximity of an airfield and you manage to land you can repair again to get it fixed. So my conclusion was that this was normal operation. That you somehow drain power for something that makes the engines start. And the game registers it as damage / needs new batteries or power. And to prevent this from happening in the future i just let both engines totally spool down before i attempt to restart them. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

blkspade Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 You have to actually shut them down (even though they already off) before they'll start up again. http://104thphoenix.com/

Not sure to be honest as I've not flown in the Eagle enough to experience this... Yes i would like to know this.. What actually happens here. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.
winchesterdelta1 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 You have to actually shut them down (even though they already off) before they'll start up again. But if you don't do that and you start them up than they go never on again. Unless you land and repair. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.
