AJaromir Posted June 24 Posted June 24 According to manual and training mission I was never able to see this message? Where it should show itself? Am I doing something wrong? 1 1
aphill Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Nope, I don't "see" it ether. Don't really need one though. Just primer for about 10 seconds and that seems to work for me. 3
RichCotte Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Same here. i just give it a 5 count, then a little longer and then run her up. Works fine. 1
GTFreeFlyer Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I remember seeing another post about this message being used for dev purposes. I think the bug to report here is that the training still prompts us to look for that message, not that the message fails to appear. I enjoy creating content for the community.

PL_Harpoon Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Engine priming is bugged-out at the moment. You can start the engine without printing it.

From watching old real world training videos and reading the handbooks, it said to push the throttle forward as the engine was cutting off during shutdown in order to let it draw some fuel into the cylinders to make the next startup easier. Yes, priming makes it easier to start IRL, but if there's fuel already in the cylinders and you crank the engine with mags on, it may be enough. It's also warm outdoor temperatures in the DCS world, requiring less priming than a cold day. You can use this info to pretend your plane already had enough fuel in the cylinders from the last pilot who shut it down. I enjoy creating content for the community.

tehaviata Posted July 31 Posted July 31 On the warbirds I fly IRL I was instructed that we advance the throttle on cutting the mags to prevent the aircraft backfiring. Fuel will not just sit in the cylinders either, it will vapourise over time. Especially when you go to pull the prop through prior to the next start to prevent hydraulically locking the engine due to oil seeping into the lower cylinders on a radials. 1
