Lujunning Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 In a discussion in a group of DCS players,some people say that they met a problem that when you are in a HOT Hornet,if you try to shutdown the plane and then do a normal startup,you find that sometimes you cannot go through a normal FCS BIT procedure.As the pictures show,the flaps remain up and the ailerons remain down,meanwhile the FCS page shows FCS A&B status restart.In addition,either you shutdown by initiating the Autostop procedure or you shutdown according to NATOPS,you meet this.Therefore,I suspect that it's not in respect of the shutdown procedure.I had managed to find the way to duplicate this bug:if you do the BIT before you completely start two engines,you get this.And some group members provide important information that you can also try to avoid this bug by starting 2 engines as fast as you can,one right after another.I consider it as a servere bug,and please pay special attention to it. 1
GazAce Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Hey that's what I had occur to me yesterday in the final mission of an old but great campaign called Serpents Head 2 Supercarrier vers. I'm Cold Start on Supercarrier in Caucasus map & the BIT fails to initiate & the image Lujunning posted on DDI above is exactly what I also see. Was fine before last update. Please address this issue ED, thank you.

Gierasimov Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 When Hornet was introduced to DCS years ago, I created a cold startup procedure for my use, which was based on Wags video, NATOPS, and the manual. I just tried and it works without any problems by doing step - by - step. It involves starting up both engines completely but there is no need for "as fast as". Cold start no problem. After engine shutdown I will test next. Also, as per requirements for bug posting, must have a track to prove it.

Gierasimov Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) OK, take off from airbase from dark and cold. 35 minutes of flight and return to the boat. Trap, park, wait five minutes on ground idle, shut down (following NATOPS within DCS constraints). After shut down, waited few moments, and startup. All good, ready to go. In short, I failed to reproduce this bug on my end. Maybe its a MP thing?

Solution GazAce Posted January 17, 2023 Solution Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Sorry ED! Doofus me was forgetting to hold down the FCS BIT switch ( letter Y on KB ) on the right wall when I press the FCS BIT button to initiate test. No issues here, apologies again. DUH!
