johnb263 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Since 1.1.1.1, on ramp start, turning on battery power, then floodlight, then, when turning on the inverter, horn goes off with flashing oil pressure. What am I missing? track attached. Used to work fine before. Mission = dawn patrol..startup.trk
sobek Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Some master warnings are perfectly normal during the startup procedure. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
ralfidude Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I was also wondering why the new master caution goes off that never gets cleared in auto start up. [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]
WarthogSmurf Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Just Start the engines and the warning goes away . perfectly normal

Inseckt Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 This was mentioned in the changelog or by groove(?) in the forums. The oil pressure warning should 'go off' regardless whether the engine is running or not. So its a feature in 1111 :) Help Beczl with his DCS MiG-21Bis project by Pre-Ordering DCS MiG-21Bis module NOW! CLICK HERE TO GO TO PRE-ORDER PAGE AT INDIEGOGO

I get what you are saying but that has nothing to do with the fact that the "autostart cheat" is supposed to automate/replicate what the pilot would do. That includes turning of the caution alarms.

If you're able to muster up the will to hit the key combo for auto-start, you'd think you could take time to click the master caution lamp once during startup... :P Life is so hard for the virtual pilot. :D i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

kylania Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I just can't see flying a simulator of this detail and not want it realistic...but that's just me... After your fourth death in a mission and instead of sitting there clicking the same buttons for another eight minutes for the fifth time in a row you hit autostart and go stretch your legs and get a drink. Now you apparently come back to Master Caution going crazy... It's probably literally one line of code to change the auto start sequence to turn that thing off. If you're talking attention to detail, that change should have been noted and fixed in the autostart feature when the new feature was added. I'm cool either way, but it was rather confusing and annoying when it went off after I turned on my inverter last night after more than a year of no warning sounds when you click that switch. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Christmas Cheer - A Landing Practice Mission : Beta Paint Schemes : HOTAS Keyboard Map : Bingo Fuel - A DCS A-10C Movie

WarthogSmurf Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 wait ? there is an autostart then ??? (<-- flew 24 hours already)
kylania Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 RWin + Home I think it is?

Wichid Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Learning manual start is what gives the game charm! Waiting for alignment is one of the few chances you get to afk.

Rider1 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Yea and its funny how on the pub servers that have missions that have warm start jets, those slots are usually the first to be filled. :) I will always take a warm start/air-start anytime available, even if the air-start jet is a bomb truck with 100% gas, I can work with that. The whole start start up, alignment process rates about a -1 on my fun/satisfaction meter. I do like to F2 and watch the other guys fly around when I auto-start, if it's enabled... or fold my laundry or something like that :) To each his own I guess.
