reported Accessibility: Auto Start Macro not working

[Deadlift]

To solve, in file:

.Steam\SteamApps\common\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\Mi-24P\Cockpit\Scripts\Macro_sequencies.lua

(no clue where it is in standalone, but should be easy to find)

 

Find passage: 

push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value =  1.0, check_condition = COLLECTIVE})
push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("LEFT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout})
push_start_command(1.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0})

push_start_command(55.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value = 0.0, check_condition = LEFT_ENGINE_START_FAULT})
push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("RIGHT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout})
push_start_command(1.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0})

 

Replace with:

 

push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value =  1.0, check_condition = COLLECTIVE})
push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("LEFT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout})
push_start_command(25.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0})

push_start_command(55.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value = 0.0, check_condition = LEFT_ENGINE_START_FAULT})
push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("RIGHT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout})
push_start_command(25.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action =  engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0})

 

Happy hunting lazy people (like me).

 

Note this may not pass server checks until ED can fix it in the delivered file.

Likely smaller values work too, but this was at least consistent with how I do it manually too.

 

If we don't do this here, I'm sorry.

Autostart works.

 

Under what circumstances were you trying to use it? Got a track file?

[Deadlift]

For me it didn't in any cold start mission because it was asking for the status of the engine way too quickly.

I can create one a sec, currently running a verify files if I have an outdated file.

[Deadlift]

here you go, sorry verify took a while longer

Thanks.

 

Syria Border Patrol Mission Instant Action Mission, correct?

 

The problem is that the Hind starts that mission with 35% fuel which currently causes the Autostart to abort. The problem was reported, but not in time to correct before release. Was another mission causing the same problem? If so, can you check the fuel level in the mission editor? Cheers.

As you may or may not see in the track file, I did refuel before doing this.

 

It is not that, especially since I can clearly see the issue in the macro....

I saw that, but I think the autostart began before the refueling had completed.

 

Try editing the mission - add fuel, see if it works. Need more than 38% by my findings.

It was up to 100% before I started auto start.

 

I'll stop posting now, the macro filechange fixed it, and I dont feel discussing if I am able to refuel properly

[wowbagger]

Okay ....

 

I was only trying to be helpful. But ... whatever, I guess. 

[Deadlift]

I provided the solution to the problem, you debated if I was able to refuel properly, if that is your way of being helpful.... whatever I guess...

 

If no one else has this issue, great.
