Preendog Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know how to avoid the never ending alarm after a ground engine restart? I get it whenever I repair. For those not familiar with this cool thing, this is how you do it. 1. Be on ground, hot, in any configuration. 2. Turn off engines (via throttle idle-off or emergency shutoff buttons) 3. Turn on APU. 4. Start left engine. 5. Start Right engine. 6. Take off. 7. Bwee bwee... bwee bwee (the same alarm as the low altitude alarm) Every, single, time. All of the systems work, and I can fly for an hour with the alarm going. Strangely, if I do the above steps, but in the air (also with APU), the never-ending alarm does not sound. It only happens if I restart the engines on the ground. This magic is beyond me so I call out to a higher power.

Knives Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Did you tried to restart you Radar Alt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcwaynard Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Could it have anything to do with starting the engines in the wrong order? Should be right first not left. Just throwing it out there. Track file might help as well.

Py Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This has been a problem for a while. The solution is to turn the radar altimeter dial down to zero then back up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgWhiteGuy Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I've experienced this annoyance before as well...so irritating that I scrapped the 2nd half of an otherwise exhilarating mission..what a pisser. Anyway, thanks for bringing it up and thanks to Py for the solution; I'll test that out on my next flight. It would be cool if someone with a lot of hours in this plane would document these as an in-flight manual, would make a great addition to the kneeboard. This plane makes a lot of noises without really telling me what she's trying to say...maybe that's why we lovingly refer to planes as female :) Asus B85 Pro Gamer - 32GB - Intel® Core i5-4460 CPU - SanDisk SDSSDXPS480G -Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 TrackIR5 - TM Warthog HOTAS Stick & Throttle - TM Cougar MFCDs - TM TPR Rudder Pedals - Razer Orbweaver - SoundBlasterX G5 DAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banman Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 As Py said it is the Radar Alt alarm. I have had the same issue however, turning it off then back on did not reset anything. It kept going off so I just turned the Radar Alt knob back to 0 to turn it off completely. i7-8700K (6 Core, 12MB Cache, 4.6GHz) 32 GB DDR4 XMP @ 2933MHz, GTX 1080Ti w/ 11GB GDDR5X, Windows 10 Pro, 256GB SSD, TM Warthog Stick & Throttle, TM TPR Pedals, TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Restarting the F-18 after complete shutdown will mess up with the systems and became un-fuctional in some way. Specially the FCS. Try to do a FCS Bit test after restart and it will fail. All flight surfaces will stop responding to stick input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorianR666 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 countless bug reports about this, none fixed. basically just dont restart the aircraft - in sp you dont need to, in mp you can just reselect the slot. at least for now.

Preendog Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Turning off the alarm altogether is pretty sweet, thanks. Off topic, but do we have access to a running bug list for the bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
