Engines refuse to start.

[DarkFire]

I can't get the engines to start, what am I doing wrong? I'm trying the very first training mission. I have external air connected. Battery power is on, both generators are connected as are the fuel pumps.

 

I tell the ground crew to apply compressed air and I see the left engine RPM climb to about 15%. I hit the left engine start button and then R-shift-home to move the left throttle to idle. RPM stays at 15% for about 30 seconds then spools down again and the engine refuses to start.

 

What am I doing wrong??? :mad:

I think it is RAlt + Home for left throttle

[Buzzles]

Right-shift-home is right engine.

 

You want right-alt-home :)

and then RSHF home for right engine

FIX

 

Replace DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-5E\Missions\Training

F-5E Training - Cold Start - Taxi - Takeoff.miz

Displayed: SET the left engine throttle to the IDLE position by pressing the [RSHIFT+HOME] keys.

Should be: RAlt + HOME

 

Displayed: SET the right engine throttle to the IDLE position by pressing the [RCTRL +HOME] keys.

Should be: RShift + HOME

RAlt & Rshift. thanks everyone :)

[DarkFire]

you do have the huffer cart on right? In the autostart the crew chief does this for both left and right engine starts. don't know if it's right, that's just what I saw.

 

Yep, works fine now, the wrong key hint was the problem.
