cannot repoduce and missing track file Starting cold and dark doesn't work

[jef32]

Hi

 

Today, I've just tried to start the F-16 like I do since months and it doesn't start:

 

The power switch on Batt

The jet fuel starter on Start 1

I wait the RPM coming just above 20% and I release the Throttle cut-off and ....nothing happens. The RPM stays around 20%. Before, the RMP was increasing to 60% after releasing the throttle and the engine was on. Now the engine doesn't start.
Help needed please !

Check that your input is actually registered and the throttle does go over the idel cutoff/detent. Check also that your assignements are still present.

Nothing has changed when it comes to starting the F-16 in DCS. If it doesn't work, it's an issue somewhere on your side.

Hi

My assignment is OK and when I use the key, I see the throttle moving forward like before. I don't understand what happens.

Hello,

What you need to do is set your power switch to Main Power and use Start 2 then wait for the SEC light to go off on the caution panel, and then advance throttle to idle.

Cause if it doesn't start with Start 1 (which means you spent one hydraulic accumulator to start, giving you 2 attempts) it wont start the second time, so it is always better to use Start 2.

Try it like this, I'm sure it will start.

Okm thanks for all

Ok, with your explanations I start now but I still have an issue with electrical system. Impossible to start the avionics, even after an electrical reset.

Ensure the battery switch is set to MAIN PWR.
