Harrier problem to start engine with Throttle connected 2019

[Erich Alfred Hartmann]

To start with thanking RAZBAM for his combat aircraft models, yesterday I bought the RAZBAM Harrier.

 

 

As the title says, when I start the aircraft from the cool and dark, if the throttle is connected it does not go from idle or directly the engine does not turn on directly, but I realized that if the throttle is not connected by USB, the plane's engine it lights up perfectly

 

Summary:

 

1- The Harrier engine with the throttle connected (via USB) the engine does not go past idle

 

2- Harrier without the throttle connected the engine works perfectly.

 

 

The solution I found is the following: turn on the engine and accelerate with the keyboard and then connect the throttle

 

 

for more info: my throttle is the Throttle PRO of CH products (I do not know if someone else happens)

 

 

If someone knows a better solution, I would appreciate it, (I think it's a bug with the accelerator, because with the other planes I have no problems)

Sounds like you are having issues with the parking break... or your throttle is not registering enough to go into throttle idle to function the detents. Throttle will not work with the break on... If you have the throttle foreword at all when you get into the jet the detent will not allow it to go into idle to start the jet unless you raise the detent lever and pull the throttle back a little bit more (if that makes sense).

 

You need to get in the jet... look at the detent lever at the base of the throttle, click to raise it with the throttle all the way to idle.

Thanks smoked I'm going to try, but I've tried everything, to see if this time it works, wish me luck

If I may clarify somewhat here...

 

He's not referring to the Parking Brake (although that will prevent you from aligning the aircraft if it is off) but more the "throttle cut off lever".

 

It's an awkward little switch that resides around your pinky on the throttle handle, it happens to sit very close to the parking brake lever and you may need to use the Flashlight to see it properly or rotate your floodlights. (Ctrl + L or Alt + L for the flashlight, something like that)

 

You can push the throttle from off into idle by pushing it forward but to reset it you need to lift up the lever, it's akin to the detents found on the A-10C just witch a reset switch instead of a detent.

 

So to start up you should see the RPM counter rise to 9.2% and hold there then when you bump the throttle forward, pushing it into idle, the rpm should climb to their idle point around 28.5 or something there.

 

If you do not see the RPM move from 0.0 then the most likely reason is the throttle is not in the cut off position, just click the lever (or bind it to a control) and you'll see the rpm rise as it should to 9.2 where you can then bump the throttle forward as normal.

Are you clicking the throttle cutoff button before trying to start the engine.

 

Try the following:

 

With your throttle connected, and all the way back (0 throttle)

 

Click the throttle cutoff (or map the key)

Then hit the engine start (After doing all the other steps)

It should spool to like 15%?

Then advance the throttle a bit (it will be limited by the parking brake) This should let the engine spool to running condition.

Once the engine catches return throttle to zero

Finish your startup

Disengage parking brake handle (or again map it if you can't see it)

Take off.

Given that this is probably the most common question for new guys we should probably sticky it, or the training mission should be revised.

Guys, solved, basically it was my joystick, I had to calibrate for this harrier, I downloaded an option from 100 to 92, the cut off key had it located and even assigned to my throttle, what happened? the calibration, in other planes without problem but in this harrier as it does not have a cut-off button like the M2000, basically it did not let me cut the engine, it is already, at the moment solved, thanks to everyone for your answers

[Harlikwin]

Yeah on the warthog you can map the cutoff button to the cutoff position on the actual throttle, which is nice.
