ours Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Good morning The latest version of DCS beta 2.3 contains bugs for the Mirage F1 BE. The engine parameters displayed are different for the pilot and the instructor. +500 Rpm and +200°C for the pilot compared to the instructor.
fausete Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Hello, is this in SP or MP? Can you attach a track?
Andrew8604 Posted March 12, 2024 Posted March 12, 2024 I can't seem to start the engine in the BE. It works okay in SP, but in MP the engine just false-starts and shuts down at about 1100 RPM by front seat instrument. The engine RPM passes so quickly from 300 through 600 RPM, I can't get the throttle out of cut-off fast enough. And if there's a discrepancy between pilot and instructor RPM, which one is the true RPM indication? Is it really this demanding in the real aircraft that the throttle must be moved to idle within the 1 second that the RPM is between 300 and 600? Or is it, perhaps, longer than 1 second from 300-600 RPM during startup in the real aircraft? My second pilot is a novice. I'll try to sit in the instructor seat and try it. Also, it seems I only get one attempt at starting the engine. If that fails, the engine won't even crank anymore. I have to restart the server to try again.

Don't seem to have enough switches in the back seat to start the engine from there. But I did get the engine started on a subsequent try from the front seat. Seem to have to move the throttle to idle before 300 RPM. Seem to have to hold the starter button until the RPM needle comes alive...then let it go. Then it was a nice flight with dual crew, giving a person a jet ride, in VR!

Hi, Of course there shouldn't be a difference between SP and MP. If it happens again please attach a TRK, it might be useful. A possibility I that could fit what you described is that the rear pilot had accidentally opened the fuel-cut switch (or the front pilot not closed it). Also keep in mind that pressing the starter button for too long might damage the starter. Edited March 12, 2024 by fausete
