jeff64 Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Hello all Bought the M2K yesterday, and a few things I can't understand. I have read the DCS Manual, Chuck's Guide, and watched a few tutorials on YT or on the www, but there is some things I still don't manage. Starting cold and dark, I startup my aircraft, setup my systems, but : - I can't remove the red "DECOL" (I understand this is an alarm indicating something is not correctly configured for Takeoff). I tried to push and doubletap the "AP STBY" button mapped on my stick, but no effect I tried to move the trim in various position, but no effect All Flaps Slats are in AUTO (Pelles / becs / souris) Canopy is closed and sealed. But as i can't find an exhaustive list of the trigger for the "DECOL" alarm, I don't figure out what is wrong. - after starting up, I can't test my FBW nor AP. If I test the AP (via the switch on the rear left pedestal), I have a master alarm coming on. If I test the FBW, nothing happens. My controls works fine. With all those problems, the aircraft takes off as expected. Anyone have an idea of what I can be doing wrong ?
=36=Witcher Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) The FBW test must be done with engine running while still on the ground, before taxy. Be sure to wait for the green light before moving back the switch in the middle position and close the cover. That will turn off DECOL. Edited March 29, 2020 by Lorthirk

And it was the same problem for the AP test. Thank you that solved all my problems !!
