cannot reproduce and missing track file Viper always starts rolling on hot starts

[moggel]

I'm going nuts over this one. Every now and then I get into missions where the author have set the Viper up for a hot start. What happens is it immediately starts rolling and accelerating, even when my throttle is set to idle (and the virtual in-cockpit rendition of the throttle seems to match that).

I have set the v-cockpit to sync with my hardware's position so I'm not sure what can be the cause of this. I also seem to be the only one in my group with this issue.

Any hints are welcome

Press rctrl+enter and check in the window that pops up that your throttle is actually in idle and not further forward.

Never ever had any issue like you do. And tried countless missions from others. It has to be connected something to your hardware (throttle).

I have noticed that this depends on WHERE you start.  It was more to do with whether or not it's flat where you start.  Solution is to always use brakes.

 

However, there's pretty much nowhere on Caucuses map that you should be rolling at start.  Incirlik on Syria map is a different story.

I dont have this experience with the current Viper, but from what I read and know from other sims that this behavior might be correct and to expect. My feeling is that a Viper standing still until pushing the throttle a good way forward seems to be modeled with a too high force to be ovecome, which keeps the Viper still. I started a thread about it but it died already.

Also when the Viper starts rolling, it just does not start to roll, it jumps into a movement instead, which feels like an auto brake mechanism releasing. But who am I to judge...

I had the issue of the Viper rolling to the left every time. It took me a while to figure it out. I forgot that I had binded ROLL HDG SEL and A/P controls to my my throttle switches and they were left on.

Check your DCS settings. If you have the sync Hotas on start up (or something like this - don’t remember the exact wording) box checked.  Uncheck the box and your problem will go away.

If you're light and/or spawning on a sloping apron your aircraft will start to roll. Even if your engine is in idle it will still produce thrust. The main issue in DCS is that you don't spawn with wheel chocks in.

Yes, that’s the one.  Thanks Sl1ck.
