Silent Warrior Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) :joystick: I thought long and hard about whether I should have posted this in Bugs/problems instead, but on the off chance it might be me doing something wrong... In any mission involving the Su-25 or 25T starting cold (haven't yet flown a F-15/MiG-29/A-10/Su-27 starting under the same conditions) I can't get the engines running. I hit Shift+L (no, not L+Shift, as the control-configuration asks), I close the canopy, hit '1' for NAV, wait for things to stop bobbing around like crazy, then RShift+Home - the key for starting both engines - and nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. If I wait for a while (simulating INS alignment?) things do happen if I press the engine-start keys, but the Frogfeet's RPM only reach 20-27% before stabilising. Isn't that supposed to happen around 40-60%? A complication: I just laid my hands on a used X52 (non-Pro), and it doesn't appear to be entirely healthy - of relevance is the throttle that never really appears to hit the bottom in the test-tab of Game Controllers. And, well, I always get engine fires... Edited December 21, 2010 by Silent Warrior Solution found - throttle axis tweaked
Sticky Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 It has been a while, but IIRC you need to turn the power on first, not sure I remember the keys, but try shift-p. GL!

Silent Warrior Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 I think that's what I'm doing with Shift+L, actually. But Shift+P is something to try as well, I suppose. I'll go check and see if anything explodes.
Sticky Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Ok, maybe it was shift-L and you are having other problems. Like I said its been a while, I dont remember what key it was, but im sure you need to turn on power somehow. But if you did that already then idk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Sim/Game CV: Falcon 1,3,4.

Sticky Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I took a look, and looks like you are right, its shift-L. But have you tried starting one engine at a time instead of both at the same time?

Silent Warrior Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 Solved it: It was the throttle axis "idling" too high. Since FC2 is such an in-depth sim, that meant I drowned the engines, and when they ignited... Burn, ************, burn! For future reference: Axis assign, select Thrust, Axis Tune, set as slider, Saturate X down (to 85%, in my case). All's well that ends well.
