Birko Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone. I wasn't sure if this was a bug or if I was just doing something wrong, so I haven't put it in the bug section. In the cold start mission, a few seconds after pushing the fuel flow lever forward, the gazelle jolts clockwise and I think the engine dies? The rotor rpm reaches about 2800, there's a bang and a jolt, and the turbine and rotor rpm both fall. I'm not sure what it is that happens as I'm not too used to the gazelle yet. The manual was no help at all- there is nothing for the cold start procedure apart from "a training mission about start-up procedure is part of the module". I'd appreciate any help very much! (and a complete manual) Have a good day everyone, and thank you! Edited February 12, 2019 by Birko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birko Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think I've got it figured out. I was pushing the fuel lever the whole way forward- when it only has to go forward a bit to get the rotors spinning, and then you have to push it so the rotor and turbine rpm rise together. If only I had a manual to tell me that :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustvector Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm sure that's in the tutorial? maybe wrong but yes you got it right now, you will here a click, then start to hear a rise, stop as the blades starts to move, equalize, then move slowly to full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birko Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 It is in there (if a bit vague), little embarrassed I didn't catch it earlier. Do hope a full start procedure with T+P's and pre-start checks and all the other boring stuff makes it to the manual eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustvector Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I know, its sort of all there but no explanation how or why. youtube is your friend :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidp57 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 yeah you've got it ; there is a clutch in the system that has to slip for some time before the rotor speed matches the turbine's ; if you push the turbine too high too fast, the clutch slips for too long and dies, along with the engine ;) Zip - VEAF :pilotfly: If you want to learn, talk and fly with french-speaking friends, the Virtual European Air Force is here for you !
