startup procedure problems with TVV and takeoff

[foxfour]

i have been using a couple of the guides posted on here to do the start up procedure. I might be doing something wrong but when i startup i dont see the TVV (total velocity vector) in the HUD. all i see is a cross. When i try to take off, the plane feels like its pulling to the right. i was thinking that maybe im messing up the take off trim settings.

 

Any ideas for these two problems?

wind?

Wind will push you, always.

 

As long as you have no green indicators on your warning control panel, then everything is done right.

 

All you need to do is watch a start up video on line, look at what you are doing, and if it's the same thing, then you are good to go.

 

The only time I rmbr when I did not have that TVV, is when I forgot to turn EGI and/or EAC on. But you would notice that the warning control panel will display it.

this didnt seem like wind, as i had full rudder to the left.. also on a full runway i only got up to 120 knots and ran off the runway. something was def wrong.

Redo in DCS what you describe in post#1 and please just post at *.trk file(when you exit a mission there is a check-box that ask "Save Track") - and load it up. - please tell also what exact version of DCS you are using.

Than sure someone will tell you exactly what went wrong and/or is a limitation of the systems of the A-10c.

FPM comes on AFTER ins alignment is complete (you hit the Nav option on the CDU page, when the INS ALIGN is flashing), and then activate the EGI switch on the nav panel.

 

But you probably know that already .:smilewink:

be sure to engage the IFCC to "switch", engage Preflight bit test on UFC ( let the test run ).... and after the CDU have fully aligned the Nav ( Ins Nav ready, showing 4.0.08 ) then you can enable EAC and switch HARS to EGI ).

 

( on my memory i was wait the Ins Nav is completely aligned before engage IFCC too, but as i do the startup by memory, lol not sure it is needed )
