merlin851526 Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Battery switched to on, Apu started and running, both left and right Ignition switches won't stay in the forward position resulting in engines not starting. Would be grateful for any help. Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, AJS-37 Viggen , AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL , F-5E Tiger , L-39 Albatros.
Tholozor Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 (edited) There's a known issue right now where the engines fail to start at higher altitudes. What location are you trying to start from? Do you have a track we can look at?

ED Team Lord Vader Posted January 15, 2024 ED Team Posted January 15, 2024 Hi @merlin851526 Like others have mentioned, there could be an issue with altitudes (currently trying to fix this internally). Other than that, we have no reports of startup inability. This could be a local problem. A good practice when creating a bug report here is to create a short track with the issue occurring and we can analyse what's going on. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
rwbishUP Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 Same problem, can't cold start in Sinai map. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, ROG ASTRAL RTX5080, G.SKILL TRI Z5 64gb, 4tb M.2 x 2, WIN 11 PRO x64
tikijoetots37 Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 Same issue here, Nevada map Elevation 5,000ft. Can't cold start.
tikijoetots37 Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 Looks like this has been an issue since Aug. of 2023 but the thread was closed with no fix it seems. See: I'd be happy to submit a track file but I don't really see the need to... Just load up Nevada and put down the Apache at Tonopah Airport for a cold start and it will not fire up, manually or with auto start. Its not local, a friend is also having the same issue on a completely separate install.
Freiwilderer Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 Turn on ground air supply in the Radio Menu. 1.Connect 2. Use Then the Engines will Start in high altitudes. 1
NeedzWD40 Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 You can also press the right pedal inward and move the cyclic around, which seems to cure the problem for me.

The thread was closed because all the discussion was done, the bug was reported internally and future updates will bring a solution. The request for a track file was for the original poster since he didn't detail the conditions he was in. As the matter a fact, we still don't know if altitude was his issue here. So please don't hijack the thread with other issues. As for "workarounds" perhaps it's best you wait for our fix since those suggestions are not permanent solutions. Thanks for your patience. 1 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
Floyd1212 Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 I, for one, welcome the suggested "workarounds", until the problem is fixed. Especially considering it has already been 6 months. Those seem like better options than just finding another server to play on, or flying a different aircraft. 1
