Granny Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I don't know how I never noticed this before but I found myself in cold FC3 jet yesterday, and feeling lazy I hit Lwin-Home to get the autostart sequence rolling. This works on my F-16 like a champ, but nothing happened on the FC3 A10-A Then I opened the Controls menu and did a search but could not find autostart. Same for the Mig-29, I assume same for all FC3 aircraft. Am I missing it or is there not an autostart feature in FC3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhand Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 No auto start because it’s really not needed. RShift + L turns on electrical power to all systems. RShift + Home starts both engines at once or, if you prefer, RAlt + Home for left engine start RCtrl + Home for right engine start. 3 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU1...CR6IZ7crfdZxDg _____ Win 10 Pro x64, ASUS Z97 Pro MoBo, Intel i7-4790K, EVGA GTX 970 4GB, HyperX Savage 32GB, Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD, 2x Seagate Hybrid Drive 2TB Raid 0.

Exorcet Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 A trick that works for FF planes is to R Atl + J out and then back in. Instant start up, no wait for align or anything. It might work for FC too, not sure. Only works in single player. 1 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not on helis, which is sad, because it is where the trick would be the most significantly useful (eg.: skiping Ka-50's insane alignment process). Fun fact, they Hip gets happy when you do RAlt + J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the FC3 aircraft requires you to start one engine at a time. Not sure which because I always start them in sequence. Can’t check which because, at present, my computer is very broken.

cfrag Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Actually, AFAIK, autostart works in FC -- except you MUST make sure that your throttles are at zero, or the sequence won't start (at least the su25t and a-10a behave that way). So look at your trottle, zero it, and then hit auto-start. Edited March 11 by cfrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only sure about F-15C - can't start both engines at the same time - RL limitation.
