Su-33 Right Engine - No Start 1.5.8

[cailean_556]

Hello all, I've run into a bit of an issue that doesn't seem to have crept up on anyone else yet.

 

I did a bit of Google searching and tried a search here: nothing I found was either current, or didn't help.

 

The issue I'm having is that I can't start the Su-33s right engine. Powers on, left engine's running but the right engine won't fire up.

 

I've changed keybinds and rebound default keybinds (the RCtrl key press is registered so it's not my keyboard) but she won't play the game. The Su-27 starts both engines just fine, as does the SU-25T and MiG-29A. Is everyone else having this issue? Is it a known issue? Is there a work around which doesn't involve simply starting a mission hot or airborne?

 

I haven't seen anything to that effect. Kind of glaring issue when an engine won't light.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give. Also, Belated Merry Xmas, virtual pilots.

RCtrl+Home is left engine start. If you want to start both you should then press RAlt+Home for right engine, or simply RShift+Home for both engines.

RCtrl+Home is left engine start. If you want to start both you should then press RAlt+Home for right engine, or simply RShift+Home for both engines.

 

In my (mostly default) set up, RAlt + Home is Left Engine, RCtrl + Home is Right Engine. I also tried to start both (RShift + Home, as you already suggested) and no dice. Main power is on (assigned button to my flight stick), RAlt + Home: Left Engine starts, engine light green, left engine gauge moves. Right Engine will not start. The exact same control works on the Su-27, Su-25T and MiG-29A.

 

Canopy open/closed, Nav lights on/off - it doesn't seem to matter. I've reset the throttle prior to start up - I have had one instance of the Su-27, not the 33, refusing to start because apparently my throttle wasn't zeroed. I even tried remapping Both Engine Start to a different key bind (in addition to remapping Right Engine Start) but no joy.

 

I'm going to try the Su-25, F-15 and A-10A, see if it works with them. This is doing my head in.

 

EDIT: Also, thanks for the reply.

This is an odd one. If you haven't already, unplug your throttle and restart the sim. Then, with it still unplugged, try starting your engines. This way you'll know whether or not your throttle is involved in the issue. If nothing else, it'll help to narrow things down.

Once I had issue with F5 engine start. Global hotkey polling algorithms can trick us. An old version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience blocked me once.
