Try to learn AH-64D but cant finish the tutorial because when I check the engine status and generator status, click Gen 1 and it says generator failure. Tried multiple times raising collective while power levers in fly position, fails every time. Frustrating, cant even complete tutorial.

If I ignore the failure and continue, it says I successfully finished the tutorial.

Looks like a bug.

Tried the quick cold and start mission, didnt check the Gen status, but was able to turn off the APU and take off, so obviously a bug.

 

  • LaLa changed the title to Noobie cant finish tutorial, generator failure. Its a bug

If you post a track of the training mission, I'm sure someone will tell you what's wrong. (Click tbe save track button when you end a mission, a d drag it here).

For all I know, with the powerlevers on fly, you should actually turn the APU off, so taking of with the APU off doesn't sound like a bug

The APU warning is just to let you know the APU is running. There really isnt much of a consequence of leaving the APU running except just generating time on the engine and wasting fuel. It "should" be off because if you leave it on, you run the risk of forgetting about throttle lever settings and you could very well be flying around with your throttles at 80%. Done that a few times myself....

Its not a bug; every aircraft in DCS that has an APU (that I can remember of) will tell you the APU is running when you throttle up or pull pitch. Its not supposed to be on unless you need it on for power.

If you click the generator buttons on the system page, that trips it offline, causing the failure. You don't click it to check the status, just check if it has a solid dot to see if it is on. To reset you need to use the gen rst hard switch on the center console in the pilot station. Turning the generators off with those buttons is not a bug.

Also what do you mean it "failed" when you pull collective?
