ShuRugal Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So, i managed to intersect my disks almost immediately after takeoff while trimming for the route. had enough rotor area left to auto down without exploding (completely flattened the undercarriage though) and i was still close enough to nalchik that it auto-repaired. but then my engines wouldn't re-light. Spool up, but wouldn't catch. Figuring i flooded them, i set to "crank only" and blew them out, then tried again. still no dice. tried a couple more times with both "crank" and "false-start" but neither one got the engines into a startable state. track attached, someone wanna tell me what i was doing wrong (aside from intersecting my disks, that is)? oops.trk On a side note: this sim is too damn good. After completing that mission correctly, landed, shut everything down, opened the door, and was about to get out and do a walk-around when i remembered i was flying a laptop, not a helicopter.

Puddlemonkey Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You just needed to power down your batteries to reset I think. I did so and it started up fine after so you're ready to go! :smartass:Power Down After Repair.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboHog Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I never do a complete shutdown. Do get groundpower. All my systems except for engines and APU are running. 'Frett' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 had enough rotor area left to auto down without exploding (completely flattened the undercarriage though) and i was still close enough to nalchik that it auto-repaired. I just watched the track 4 times, and each time the chopper exploded during the crash landing. I also made sure that in the game's options the box "Use these settings for all missions" was unchecked. I'm curious, what do other people see when they watch the track? As for the engine trouble, can't tell without watching over your shoulder. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShuRugal Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 hmm, i watched it before uploading and it played out exactly as it did when i flew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maybe you're using a different version of BS? BS 1.0.2 crashes when loading the track, so I'm guessing it must have been recorded in BS2. I currently have BS2 1.1.1.1 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booger Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You were cycling between engine 1 & 2. There's no reason for that & no doubt added to your frustration. Ensure you wait for the engine's RPM to zero (N1 gauge) before start/false start. When repairing, always shut down the following prior to attempting a start... 1. Engine cut-off valve levers 2. Throttle down 3. Left & Right Generator switches. Depending on whose checklist you use, there are other systems that are start cycle (order) specific, but these three above seem to be the most cycle specific.
