Only view controls?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just installed DCS a10c v1.1.0.9 on my pc and activated it. Then I set up some HOTAS controls and went to the startup training mission. I followed all instructions to the letter but when it said to start the left engine W/ right alt+home but that didn't do anything. So I wnt back to the controls and setup F11 & F12 to do the manual ignition switches above the APU, I then tried again to start the aircraft and that again didn't work, so I again went to the settings and all it showed were the view controls it is in a10c sim controls and set to all so I don't know what to do with either the controls or the engines.

Please help,

J

Sorry - I can't help with control bindings for that version as it predates my time with DCS - might be worth upgrading DCS to either the 1.5 or 2.5 stable versions on the DCS website (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/) since these are the only ones now supported

For a normal startup, you really don't need to touch the ENG OPER switches (other than making sure they're in the center NORM position). I'm certain they're not related to your problem.

 

Did you double check that your throttle was in Idle prior to engine start?

 

Unfortunately, it will be almost impossible to find out if there was an actual startup problem in your version. If you get lucky, you might find some info in really old posts in this forum. But as I remember it, almost all engine startup problems were related to one or several of these:

- APU was not yet at 100%

- in-game throttle was not in the OFF position

- physical throttle was not in the idle (= lowest possible) position

- physical throttle was spiking (setting up a deadzone might help)

- fuel boost pumps not on (when starting right engine first)

- starting second engine before "ENG START CYCLE" caution light was off

 

[...] so I again went to the settings and all it showed were the view controls it is in a10c sim controls and set to all [...]

 

In settings, you could only see the "View" controls, but not all the rest? Have you tried to restart DCS?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling then restarting my computer and that doesn't work. and In the tutorial, I had the throttle at o and I only messed with those switches because right alt+home wasn't working.

Thanks,

Yes!

 

Normally I'd ask for a track rather than a video, but playback between versions is very unreliable (if not outright impossible), so a video would certainly be of help!
