r4y30n Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So I've left the Gazelle on the shelf for a little while since release and just picked it up again last night. Running through the cold start training mission as soon as I move the fuel lever forward the rotor picks up speed and then there's a bang around 250 RPM (rotor) and the engine is dead. This never happened on previous runs of the mission maybe a month ago and I'm certain I'm not missing a step. Anyone have any ideas? This is in the Caucasus, by the way.

BaD CrC Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 You moved your lever forward too fast. It's a new feature from the last updates. You need to give time to you rotor RPM needle to catch up with your engine RPM needle, overwise BOOM, you kill your turbine. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4y30n Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Wow, that's quite a change! I thought I was moving it slow when I blew it up but it really is a delicate procedure... Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thBG_Blackwolf Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I did the same thing, you have to watch the RPM's or BOOM! BSD Discord , BSD Website If it doesn't hover, it just sucks and blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assafm25 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 1/2 way of the full laver and wait for the needles to sync , Whan thay are sync and stop to move forword it to the full way slow till u reach the right tackoff rpm.

112th_Rossi Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yep you are introducing too much fuel. So you have to slowly increase fuel flow until RPMs are up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakoz Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I believe on the real Gazelle, the pilot actually watches the torque meter to make sure it doesn't go past a certain amount as engine damage will occur otherwise. As others stated, in DCS Gazelle, just make sure you keep the engine RPM and rotor RPM needles basically on top of each other and you'll be good.
