[ivo]

Hi I'trying tue engine flameout follia tue Chuck manual bug nothing tue engine raches 33 rpm andare always short down... anyone gas tryied to do this?

 

 

Bye

[ivo]

sorry for the typo errors is the automatic correction.....

[ivo]

Nope?

[myHelljumper]

Nope?

 

I can't understand your first post, can you edit it ?

Sory I mean the right procedure for restart in flight

[bzhnono]

It's written in the left side of the cockpit (the inflight relight procedure)

Haven't finished to read the new manual but it also should be in it

[Valium]

I'm not sure the type of translator you use and where are you come from but I think I understood this and have an answer on your question.

 

Well, I think it's a good idea to read manual, as I did even if my knowledge of english is medium.

 

However, I've noticed that problem a few times. The rpm are staying at 33 and nothing more.

 

My suggestion:

When you turning on plane, so you turned battery on and you're at right console when all these buttons which are responsible for engine are, just add thrust. If is at zero, there's no more than 33 rpm so try to add more thrust and about 50% of rpm, decrease it.

Thank in the new manual isn't mentonied... only in the Chuk guide but seem no work properly

It's working for me @25,000 ft, is your ignition switch set right ?

 

 

Tested as follows 300 KIAS @ 25,000 ft

 

1) Throttle to Idle

2) Idle to Cut Off

3) Check RPM (N) drops below 13% and EGT T7 falls to zero to confirm flame out.

4) Put aircraft into a 20° dive, at about 300 KIAS - RPM (N) should start increasing

5) Once RPM (N) is above 13%, operate Relight Switch on the left bulkhead (switch forward)

 

 

6) Throttle to Idle or move joystick throttle forward and back.

7) Check RPM (N) continues to rise and EGT T7 increases to confirm engine start cycle.

8 ) Once RPM (N) has increased to ~54% move throttle slowly forward/recover from the dive.

 

Note: Relight Switch will reset to aft position by it's self.

 

 

If you are still having issues, I'll need a video or track to help futher.

Remove keyboard shortcuts as RShift+Home does more than take Throttle out of idle

Ok I knew the relight procedure was written in the cockpit but forgot it was in french :D

Many thank Ramsay

Hi I have read the Chuck guide and at 7 part about flameout engine its said to switch on the fuel pomp starter maybe its wrong....I will try your procedure Ramsay

Perhaps you aren't doing anything wrong and have found a bug?

 

After looking for a YouTube Air Start video to link to, I noticed most people roll inverted, to starve the engine of fuel before attempting a relight (while I was just shutting the throttle off).

 

When I do that, like you I can't relight the engine.

 

Does anyone have some tips or confirm it's a new bug in DCS 2.5.0.14304 ?

 

As I can't do this in DCS 2.5.0.14304

 

 

At stage 7 in my list, EGT (Tt7) and RPM (N) don't increase and fuel flow remains at zero.

 

Note: it took approx. 45 seconds of inverted flight to starve the engine, rather than 15 -18 seconds as in the video.

Add details

You don't need to mess with jet fuel starter pump to relight in flight.

Confirm it is a new Bug

Confirm it is a new Bug

 

Please describe what you think is a bug ?

[Ramsay]

I would surmise the OP has found he can successfully relight the engine when he doesn't fly inverted?

 

As described, after rolling inverted to starve the engine of fuel and cause a flameout (RPM<13%, EGT near zero) - the engine will not relight.

 

However, moving the throttle to the cutoff position and shutting down a running engine in-flight - the engine will restart following the in-flight relight procedure / parameters (RPM>13%, 250-400 KIAS).

 

Once you can reliably perform a in-flight relight for one, but not the other - it's apparent something is wrong as AFAIK the in-flight relight procedure should work in both cases.

Add example track files

[Tripleinside]

Same here... can’t re light If the cause of extinction was fuel starvation, no problem to re light if the cause of’ extinction was throttle set to stop.

 

In the first case scénario, i loose all steering ability also

Thank to all for your support

[Charly_Owl]

Procedure corrected. Sorry for the unclear explanations.

Nothing I have tryed more and more time...I run instant action/M2000/Caucasus or nevada/freeflight and raches about 20000 feet invert asset (head down) for about 20 seconds and

engine shot down I follow step by step new Chuck's procedure but the engine RPM at 33,5% Always stop...and engine no restart

[Charly_Owl]

It worked fine for me. I dunno what to tell you.

[Ramsay]

Can you post a DCS 2.5.0 track (air spawn, Caucasus theatre) or take control of the M-2000C once the engine flames out in mine and repost it, so as to see what you are doing differently ?
