Ryan4314 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 What buttons do I have to press to start recording a mission? Is it Ctrl-R, coz that doesn't appear to work? Cheers guys
Kuky Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 When you have the mission map open, instead of pressing FLY button, chose from the menu on top Record Mission and that will start the mission and record at the same time. Once you are finished flying it will ask you to save the mission recording. No longer active in DCS...
Ryan4314 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Cheers thanks for the help mate. Now I've just gotta get my engines started! it's odd they start when the computer does it in the training missions, but it's as if my Alt & Home isn't working??? So u might see me in a multiplayer, stuck on the taxi way, opening and closing the canopy in frustration! lol

Ryan4314 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Posted October 20, 2007 lol it's weird, I can turn the engines off, but not on! Thrust to zero, Taxi lights on, than Alt-Home to start left engine yeah??? Except when I press Alt-Home I wait and I wait and I can't hear the engine "spool"
Kuky Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 What Viper said... you need to turn on the avionics (and have throttle on idle) before you start engine(s) No longer active in DCS...
Ryan4314 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 How do I that? I checked my keycards and downloaded the ones from online. Is it "Shift-L"? I think something's up with my game, I doubt it's the button layout as pressing "Alt-End" turns the engine off. It's weird, if I take over halfway through engine starting process on the tutorial, I still can't start em.
159th_Viper Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Shift-L: Engage APU Wait for Gyro's to stabilize...... Ensure throttle to Idle Alt-Home: Left Engine Start Confirm Spooling via Tachometer and Engine start Indicator Lights Shift-Home: Right Engine Start Confirm Spooling via Tachometer and Engine start Indicator Lights Indicator Lights should extinguish at about 45% RPM - you're good to go! If Tacho stops at about 20% you've flooded the engine, ie throttle not set to idle. Spool Down immediately and have a cigarette and cup of coffee and try again from the top after Five :) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Kuky Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Once you've started your engines, you need to wait about 2-3min before taxting out to warm up the HSI otherwise once you start turning it'll get wacko and out of alignment. Also to refuel in Su-25T unlike other aircraft you need to turn off the engines first. No longer active in DCS...
