andyfoot Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 In the Defend Camp Yankee mission, on different occasions I've had damage/fire on both engines, cut fuel to relevant engine, extinguished fire, limped back and landed, repaired and then not been able to restart the damaged engine. Any thoughts on if I'm missing something, or is this a bug?
sobek Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Have you tried purging the engine before restart? Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
fragged Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Have you tried purging the engine before restart? It could also be high engine ITT. Anyways, you could try motoring the engine for a minute or two and then try re-starting it.
andyfoot Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Tried motoring it, temperature is low, everything looks normal and gauges show minimum scale readings.
genbrien Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I made a 90degree vertical climb and stalled the plane (made it on purpose), nearly lost the left engine but the right flamed out. The ITT was stuck at 700-800 for the right(left was moving as usual), no matter what I did or how long(landed, parked, motored the right engine for 10minutes and the ITT stayed the same) Did I broke something loll ???(I was not able to restart the right engine for the rest of the flight) Do you think that getting 9 women pregnant will get you a baby in 1 month?[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mobo: Asus P8P67 deluxe Monitor: Lg 22'' 1920*1080 CPU: i7 2600k@ 4.8Ghz +Zalman CNPS9900 max Keyboard: Logitech G15 GPU:GTX 980 Strix Mouse: Sidewinder X8 PSU: Corsair TX750w Gaming Devices: Saytek X52, TrackIr5 RAM: Mushkin 2x4gb ddr3 9-9-9-24 @1600mhz Case: 690 SSD: Intel X25m 80gb
andyfoot Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Think I may have sussed where I was going wrong. I hadn't reset the Extinguisher selector handle. I haven't tried this after a repair, but just started the Defend Camp Yankee mission, pulled the Extinguisher selector lever out (without initiating it) and tried to start the engine, but nothing happened. I reset the selector, and it started no problem. Will try it next time I limp back and repair an engine. Guess it's another of those "Ah Ha!" moments, you just gotta love the level of detail of integration of the systems, I'm guessing it's a start interlock which would make sense. Thanks for the suggestions.
andyfoot Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Genbrien, did you shut down both engines to initiate repair? Maybe when you stalled it, something was modelled that wrote the engine/instrumentation off.

Makes perfect sense, the fire t-handle is supposed to cut fuel to the engine to stop...wait for it...fires ;) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
doright Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 The Fire T-handle cuts fuel, AC generator, and hydraulics of that engine. Basically anything that would feed a fire. Has anyone restarted a fire after pusing the handle back in? Spraying a fuel or hydraulic fluid mist from a punctured line over a hot compressor or bleed air duct is bad. I'm interested though in the real life does pushing the handle back in restore these systems?

I'm interested though in the real life does pushing the handle back in restore these systems? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't for the reasons that you list. Also, AFAIK, the extinguishing agent used destroys the engine. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

Scratchy Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 This may be too obvious for some folks, but here goes: I couldn't start my engines and realized my throttle wasn't fully closed. Once closed, no problem. I use the keyboard keys to start/stop my engines. Sure wish I had a fancy HOTAS joystick.:joystick: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Intel i7-8700K @4.9Ghz | 32Gb memory DDR4 | Evga GTX 1080ti | Saitek Eclipse keyboard | Logitech Mx518 | CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle/Pedales | TIr5 | Win10 x64 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

doright Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I stand corrected. The T-handles shut off fuel and bleed air to the effected engine/apu. Not sure where I read it but maybe there was a memory leak from commercial a/c. Still have the question of will pushing handle in reset shut-off valves in the real A-10? FYI, the T handles only shut off fuel not hydraulics...
