Hello, I have the following problem with the Mirage 2000 aircraft. Sometimes when I set the throttle to WEP, nothing happens... the afterburner doesn't engage, and I can observe a yellow error popping up on the left side of the cockpit. Is there any way to reset the engine or bypass this error, or is landing and repairing the aircraft the only option? I would like to note that this also happens on the ground, not just during flight. Regards, and thank you for your response.

Ah, now I see the picture.

Yeah, that caution light doesn't tell much.

It's hard to tell what the cause of your issue is with this little information.

 

Did you perhaps get damaged? Or did you damage the engine by incorrect startup?

Can you reproduce your issue in a single player mission? If yes, can you attach the track?

Generally, when you see the caution or warning light, you want to look at the annunciator panel on the right side to see what kind of malfunction you have. What does the annunciator panel say?

I am not too familiar with the English cockpit, but I'm guessing it's the "CALC" light, which means there is a fault with the automated engine control and it's reverted to a fallback (SEC CALC) mode with lowered performance (including the inability to light the afterburner). You want to select the "REARM switch" by selecting up on the guarded "SEC CALC" switch on the left console (forward of the FBW and AP test switches and AFT of the emergency trim switch and audio panel).

This should reset the light and return the engine to its regular operating mode. Read the manual for more details (pg. 60). If this doesn't work and the "CMPTR/CALC" light stays on you have suffered engine damage somehow.

As far as I know, though, it was a not uncommon occurrence for something to trip the SEC CALC mode and have to hit the reset switch. Just a guess but you may induce it with rapid thrust lever changes (can't remember how it was modeled in the module). Maybe try actuating the thrust lever with more smoothness to see if this helps keep the problem from occurring.

Unfortunately, last I checked there was no specific bind for this reset switch that you could map to a joystick button, but that may have been added since I last used the module. So, you may have to use your mouse to click the switch up.
