ST0RM Posted March 14 Posted March 14 As soon as I press the start button, the fire light comes on and stays on. Stock Cold Start Mirage F1EE at Nellis mission LastMissionTrack.trk
Solution Vibora Posted March 14 Solution Posted March 14 You're starting with throttle at idle. It should be in the cut position. If you had the throttle at idle, before pressing the start button, you should set it to cut and make a crank before attempting the engine start. 1 1 Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

So odd, as I'm using my HOTAS and it's physically in the Cutoff position. I'll visually confirm and recheck my binding. Thank you and I apologize for not catching this.

Thank you and I apologize for not catching this. You'll probably have to use 'Throttle Cut/Idle switch - Cut while held pressed'. 1 Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Bringing the throttle all the way back puts it in idle, not cut off.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

So I think it's something that changed with my hardware. I'll now visually confirm it's in cutoff. Thanks 1

Spooky Mulder Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I've had the issue a good bit over the past year with my Winwing Orion 1. Something about the Orions seems to initially sync with the F1 oddly in such a way that the throttle is imperceptibly past the cutoff. But enough to allow excess fuel to enter the engine and then fire. The best, safest way to mitigate this issue is to perform the following: Quote Before opening any firewall or fuel valves, use the clickable cockpit interaction to cycle the throttle from cutoff to idle and then back to cutoff. There's other things I have noticed stopping the issue but this one seems to have a 100% success rate. Very strange. No idea why this happens with the F1 and seemingly no other aircraft.
Vibora Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Can you provide a trk where the issue reproduces, please? (A short trk recorded in Caucasus would be ideal). Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
