Starter sound missing

[henhag]

The starter sounds are missing, they neither play when you spool up the flywheel or when you engage the clutch to crank the engine.

Getting the M-62 radial to start is quite difficult at the moment, as there is no indication if the flywheel is ready.

I must confess that the engine has started for me on the first try, every time for about a dozen starts. I follow the specified start procedure EXACTLY. While the starter spool up sound is nice, it isn’ really necessary. Follow the procedure and left-click with the mouse on the pull-push switch and count to 12. At 12, immediately right-click on the switch. Hold the right-click until the engine starts. The only thing I do that isn’t in the instruction, is to crack the throttle about an inch, as I do with every other reciprocating engine that I have. Follow the instructions, and the engine should start first time, every time.

 

As a side note, i’ve never heard the inertial starter in the -190 spool up either.

I think I read somewhere and what I always do, is to have the throttle fully open. When it starts to fire, immediately bring the throttle back.

 

 

 

Interesting response from OctopusG. Does ED have a telephone? Give 'em a ring TALK to someone!

 

 

 

For the record I love this little beast. :)

I read in one of the threads that is what one of the users does, but as I said, I open the throttle about an inch, and it starts first time, every time. I use the same throttle setting on all my airplanes. The only time i’ve Ever used a full throttle to start a reciprocating engine was on my old cars, and that was only to open the choke.
