Nealius Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I noticed this in 2.5.3.21107. Previously the engine would crank 2-3 times, then pause for a second, crank 2-3 times, pause for a second, repeat until magnetos turned on/engine started. Currently, pressing the starter button (or default HOME key) results in immediate 20% RPM, and immediate engine start. Engine can be started without doing any priming at all. Track attached. Reverting to 21106 does NOT resolve the issue. I guess the last time it worked properly was 20601 Update 9. Edited September 2, 2018 by Nealius
Redglyph Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 I have observed the same behaviour, I hadn't tested the module in the previous DCS versions so I couldn't compare but it did seem very odd to see it start like that in 2.5.3.

Nealius Posted September 6, 2018 Author Posted September 6, 2018 Tested again in 2.5.3.21235. Still an issue.
seanduffy Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Seems to still be an issue. In YouTube videos back from release I see the behaviour with the engine cranking a few times before starting, but for me it just starts instantly even without priming and on a cold day. Starts no problem at idle throttle too, don't even need 1/3.

Deano87 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 This is still present. Air on. Mags on. Touch the starter and she fires straight up. Very boring.

Ron Attwood Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Me too. Shame, I used ti like the 'reticence' of the engine. Will it? Won't it?

Deano87 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Can we at least get a "Reported" on this?

Jowen G. Bruère-Dawson Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 (edited) Hi, there's quite a bug there. When you push and hold the starter button with all mags OFF (I mean in both cockpits), the engine starts and there is the engine running sound playing, which is completely wrong. The engine even stabilize at 20% with only the starter, which is not correct. The starter only gives initial rotation impulse to start the engine. If mags are off, no ignition is possible, the engine must just be rotating inconsistently following compression strokes of cylinders with very low RPMs. In DCS, hold the start switch and the engine goes to 20% and hold there until the start switch is released. I don't feel the need to provide a track since it's so easy to reproduce, but I will if asked to. Can we have a fix ? Thank you very much, have a good day. Edited July 21, 2024 by Jowen G.
