philstyle Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Can we have an option in the ME to have aircraft spawn on the ground pre-warmed, but engines shut-down/ off please? It's not at all historical for these combat aircraft to have been OAT cold when the pilots got into them. It might not matter for the jets, but for the piston-prop warbirds it's pretty critical that we can get airborne quickly to respond to threats. Now that the new DM limits are impacting engines so much, it is becoming even more noticeable that people are sitting in their cockpits waiting for unnecessarily long warm ups that ground crews would have done before the pilot swung his leg into the pit from the wing.

Sceptre Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 agreed, frontline alert fighters shouldn't have to spend precious time waiting for engine warm, especially when the enemy can see where you spawn due to DCS' role select screen 1 RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grafspee Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 What about diluting ? Start up dilute oil then off you go.

That applies to only a few modules. Engine pre-warming would apply to all. 1 On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketchup Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 @grafspeeI still don't think oil dilution has been implemented. It takes the P-47 the same amount of time to warm up regardless of whether the oil dilution switch is on or off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can go off at low temps.

Got it! However, oil dilution "In Game" seems to have no effect on oil pressure. With oil dilution ON and oil temps below 40 deg., you can't push more than ~1200-1400rpm or so without oil pressure jumping above redline.

-0303- Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Oil dilute is implemented, it reduces oil pressure in P-51 and Spitfire. I do this a lot. What's important having engine off? Why not spawn engine on?

burritto Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Has there been any progress on this? I've read a few times that it has been fed into the devs by 9L (I think), but not heard anything since. It would be a nice option to give mission designers and server hosts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool-Hand Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Would love to see this as well, it was common practice in the USAAC to have the engines pre-warmed 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
