Juancio Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Hello folks, i've been experiencing this situation since 1.54. I don't know if it's a bug or some kind of compressor stall or whatever. The thing is this, whenever I reduce throttle to idle poition, point the nose up and flat spin the aircraft, it shuts itself off (engine, radar screen, rwr, though electric power is still working) and I find it hard to restart/relight midair. Tried the same in 2.02 alpha and couldn't replicate. On another note, are you planning to add engine spooling, like f15 and su27 have or you're just gonna leave it static like the mig21? Thank you.
Darkbrotherhood7 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Probably is just a compressor stall.

Juancio Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 If that is so, is there a standard procedure to restart the engine in the air? Coundn't find any in the manual. Thanks

Are you going into vertical to do that ? That's pretty much the only way to stall it that much. Mirage fanatic !

nomdeplume Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 If that is so, is there a standard procedure to restart the engine in the air? Couldn't find any in the manual. Not sure about 'standard', but there's an air-restart switch to the left of the throttle, which seems to work if you have enough airspeed. Otherwise just doing a normal engine start seems to work fine. There may be some limitations (altitude/air density, speed, temperature..?) but the very few times I've tried it I've had no issues.
Juancio Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Are you going into vertical to do that ? That's pretty much the only way to stall it that much. Yes, almost perpendicular to the ground, for "testing purposes". The problem is i can't restart it after it dies, maybe i'm missing something. Thanks
