Mr_sukebe Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Not sure whether it's because I've forgotten or am inept, but I'm struggling to start the engine of the i16. My cold start procedure is: - Request ground power on - Fuel Valve: Open - Revs to around 80% - Throttle to around 20% - Actuator: On - Shunt: On - Primer pump: 4-5 pumps - Let fuel into the primers for 3-4 seconds for each of the 2 engine parts - Energise for around 15 seconds - Start the engine Can someone please advise what I'm missing or getting wrong? System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse. Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesha44 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 After the primer you have to turn on the magnetos. So, does the ground crew respond to your request for ground power? I can't seem to communicate with them and have to do auto start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Update> Was me just being inept. Just successfully started it. For anyone who doesn't have it, it really is characterful. Yes, I appreciate that it can't really be used when you're up against K4s, but it's great for ground attack and is a LOT of fun to fly. 2 System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

Yes it’s a cracking module and really deserved some early war AI assets for some time. As is sadly I’m just not sure what I’m supposed to do with it in the current DCS environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAPman Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Batteries, generator and whatnot are turned on before the start. The "sukebe" guts are turned off. Success rate is about 50/50.
