Su25T blowing engine on takeoff

[BrzI]

FC2 with patch applied...

 

Stock mission "Long Day"

 

3 out of 4 takeoffs blow an engine on takeoff.

 

I use 100% thrust and start pulling back at 280 kmh with full flaps down.

 

Am I missing something ?

 

:helpsmilie:

 

Thanks

Birds

Well, he's not actually missing the birds... >.>

 

But well, 3 out of 4 is a bit on the unlucky side if it's birds. Got a track file of this happening, BrzI?

[BrzI]

Reduced birds to 0%. Still lost the left engine on takeoff. Here is the .trk file.

In the Mission Options, uncheck 'Game Flight Mode' and 'Game Avionics Mode' and try again :)

 

Downloaded your Track, took control in cockpit and at 280km/h, Engine Blew as per your experience. Opened track in Editor, unchecked as above and took control again and took off no problem.

Thanks. Seems to work.

 

What is perplexing is that the mission started in 'Game Avionics Mode' (the round SA display in top right-hand corner). I only fly with full options on and the only way to get rid of that was to actually CHECK the two boxes.

 

Almost looks like in inverse logical switch.

 

Anyway, it is fixed now. Thanks for the help. Finished the mission successfully. Trick was to get the wingman to go for Air Defenses around the Canadian Leopards, then have him pick out the Leopards one by one. He survived and we cleared the whole battlefield. Lesson in wingman management :).

 

Cheerio

Glad to help get a fellow Toadie in the Air :)

How many people do you think actually fly the Su25 as opposed to the other aircraft ?

 

I was always a fan of the Su-33 - specially in previous Flanker versions when I could carry antiradar and fire-and-forget pinpoint strike missiles :-)

 

Wish some of that would come back :-)

 

Nothing beats killing off a couple of interceptors, then getting rid of Air Defenses and then finally going for a pinpoint strike - all in one package....Miss those old days...unrealistic or not :-)

Good Question!

 

Myself - Stumbled onto LockOn in 2006 and apart from the occasional A-10 sortie, have been flying the T-Toad exclusively ever since. Bomber-Boy until......well........Might be tempted by a Multi-Role DCS Fighter - we'll see :D

I flew (almost) exclusively T-toad in FC1.1. Haven't done so in FC2 yet except for a small practice run here and there to feel the awesome might of the AFM since I've been largely busy learning how to use the Eagle. The Frog and Toad flight models really are an attraction on their own though so I suspect they are relatively common choices.

A few years a go I had a nice little coop for myself and friends where we were all flying Su-25Ts, but some dedicated to SEAD with Kh-58s and Vikhrs and others dedicated to primary target attack with bombs and rockets. Was good teamplay. If more people were available, could throw in enemy CAP/intercept flights and a couple of guys in Su-27s to sweep ahead and fly top cover.
