HOKUM52 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 On occasions whilst flying a sortie i sustain damage to one engine, however the aircraft is still funtional despite this engine shutting down/losing power. there is no information in the manual on engine failure. Often when my engine is struck i do nothing yet can continue flying for some 2-3 minuites before i lose electrical power, and eventually cannot stop an unintentional descent. 1.My question is what is the emergency procedures when an engine gets struck. 2. Is it possible to continue flying on one engine for longer and have control over when you descend?! for example do you start by moving the cut off lever for that engine? (i have no idea what to do!!) (bare in mind an airfield is not nearby.)

ED Team Yo-Yo Posted March 19, 2011 ED Team Posted March 19, 2011 On occasions whilst flying a sortie i sustain damage to one engine, however the aircraft is still funtional despite this engine shutting down/losing power. there is no information in the manual on engine failure. Often when my engine is struck i do nothing yet can continue flying for some 2-3 minuites before i lose electrical power, and eventually cannot stop an unintentional descent. 1.My question is what is the emergency procedures when an engine gets struck. 2. Is it possible to continue flying on one engine for longer and have control over when you descend?! for example do you start by moving the cut off lever for that engine? (i have no idea what to do!!) (bare in mind an airfield is not nearby.) Just in case - turn the stopped engine off (do not shut WORKING engine off! :)). Then advance throttle lever to the MAX position. This operation lets the engine provide more power at lower COLLECTIVE positions THAT YOU NEED TO USE. As your engine works near its MAX power all the time, you must watch rotor rpm not to be lower than the limit. Maintain 130-140 kph at low altitude, if you have to fly faster - rotor rpm will be your limit. You have to land without hovering because you have no power to do it... the only exception is the almost dry helicopter.

HOKUM52 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 oh yea i have the extended manual in another place, ill read it now since i 4got i had it! i didnt think to drop payload so thanks 4 that tip.

Bucic Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 No problemo :) IMHO the next patch should delete the superseded manual forcing users to download the extended one or display an information window with a direct download capability.

flanker0ne Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Remenber to close the shutoff valve and EEG of the affected engine. And last open X-Feed Valve for maintain Balance on the fuel tanks SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool
Bucic Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 And last open X-Feed Valve for maintain Balance on the fuel tanks It would be wise to also read description of the bug concerning the aforementioned switch. I don't have a link to the topic.

bogusheadbox Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Not sure if its modelled in game. However in real life, opening cross feed should only be done once you are sure you do not have a fuel leak. Otherwise you will loose your good fuel. A certain airliner did this and ended up gliding to the azores.
Bucic Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 The crossfeed valve operation is modeled. It's just that it works the opposite way = OR its graphical representation is done the other way around, pick your winner :) OK, I feel this might go on and on if I don't post AirTito's comments on the subject :sly: The crossfeed defaults to OFF. I know the switch is in the up position and this is misleading. To open crossfeed, flip up the switch cover and push the switch down. EDIT: It should be mentioned that this is actually a bug (albeit one with very low priority). The switch is supposed to be protected in the down (CLOSED) position. The down position is CLOSED and the up position is OPEN, just like the three fuel valve switches to the left of the crossfeed switch. This is in the real aircraft. In the game, however, the crossfeed switch is backwards. For the crossfeed switch only, the up position is CLOSED, and down is OPEN. Very irritating, I know. In fact, I will do some searching for past status of this one and see if I can find an open or closed bug for it.

flanker0ne Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 AlphaOneSix thalk about the position backward not about the function. I'm flying now with a little workaround found somewhere in the Forum that fix the Fuel Tank Front/Aft accordingly with the Fuel Pumps. I've try to fly with an asimmetric load with 1 Canister Rocket smoke generator and 1 Ext Fuel Tank in the simmetric pilon, and it work in this way: Crossfeed Valve OPEN Fuel Pump of the circuit WITH Ext Fuel Tank ON Fuel Pump of the circuit WITHOUT Ext Fuel Tank OFF Ext Fuel Pump OFF when the Internal Fuel Tank is almost empty, the ext Fuel Tank Pump is turned On.
