Auto Start Porcedure or Start from parking Hot

[Los]

Thanks for the great sim. My more specific question... in just about all the other DCS AC, even the Mig21b there is a start engine or start procedure such as RWIN Home that gets everything ready for mission taxi, including radios and what not. I am missing this here.

 

I notice that even if I set in the editor "start from parking hot", the plane is not completely ready to fly, with comms and even preflight take off trim not set, etc. Is this meant to be like this or a bug. Other DCS aircraft with takeoff from parking hot typically are fully ready for take off.

Other aircraft have the Auto Start yes.

But most of them did not have that feature when it was released in Early Access.

 

Features like this will be added as the Early Access progresses.

 

But as it is this aircraft is very Quick and easy to start up.

 

i think there are like 4 buttons to press to get the engine started.

1 more to get the Hud active.

A few more are needed to Activate the Navigation systems = load waypoints etc (but that kind of stuff is not guaranteed to be done by an Autostart anyway as it might depend on starting airfield and what you want to do with the mission etc).

 

But either way It does not take long at all to start up manually and is not all that complicated.

 

And things like Take off trim are not really needed ingame it might not hurt and might make the take off more optimal but it makes very little difference ingame and i dont bother with it 99% of the time.

Ya, it is super easy to start.

Yes I understand it is very easy to start...that is what I am dong now. (I am not asking for a tutorial on how to hotwire a viggen :) ). Its not difficult to start and the plane is a pleasure to fly. (Made even more so by the tape player!) I'm just asking if this is a function that's left out for good or not. But I think you answered my question that it may be something added by full release. Thanks.
