Lynx1677 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 So I follow the start sequence, holding down the start button but nothing. Tried from scratch 4 or 5 times now. I have an annoying claxon going off in my ear since I tunred on the battery. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALDEGA Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 So I follow the start sequence, holding down the start button but nothing. Tried from scratch 4 or 5 times now.Rotors don't turn at all? I have an annoying claxon going off in my ear since I tunred on the battery.Set the LOW RPM AUDIO switch to off, it's directly left to the yellow fuel switch. You may want to switch it back on after the RPM has picked up so the annoying sound can alert you to an impending disaster :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseJames38 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Try turning on the fuel switch first :) Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggyBear Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Battery on, Starter Gen on, Fuel on.... hit the starter and it should start. Check for those things first. Don't worry about turning the low rotor audio back on, it'll automatically turn back on approaching normal N2/NR (can't remember the figure atm). - Bear Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty. - Robert A.

Para_Bellum Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Make sure you didn't put the starter generator on standby by accident and that the fuel switch is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

609 Avatar Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I have the same problem, though my rotors do turn. Right after I turn the battery on this alarm goes off and the RPM light on the warning panel is lit up. I've tried 10x now following the instructions exactly, as far as I can tell, but I keep screwing things up... Okay, I just tried it once again, doing everything exactly the same (though I did turn the switch off for the alarm for low RPM) and managed to take off! Of course it wasn't pretty and I flew around a bit and then proceeded to crash into the ground and blow up trying to land... but those are minor details. :) Edited May 1, 2013 by 609 Avatar Add more...

Hueyman Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Can we Hotstart the T-53 in DCS ? By allowing fuel to enter combustion chamber before reaching let's say 12% Ng for example ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPL(A)IR ME/SEP/MEP/SET - CPL(H) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agg Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Are you holding down the starter button? If you just push it, nothing happens, if you hold it down she starts up after a few seconds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Worked for me the first time I tried the start-up. The start-up practice marked that you should hold down the starter switch until reached 60 RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_Hood Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think the manual states 40 RPM or 40 seconds, whichever comes first. As for the Low RPM alarm, it is annoying but normal behaviour. Just turn it off (actually, it might even be worth turning it off before turning on the battery). And it indeed snaps back to normal when your RPM get in the normal operation parameters. 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll have to be after electrical power is applied, the switch is electrically held in the off position and will spring back to the on/audio position without power. - Bear Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty. - Robert A.

The throttle should be set at idle prior to engaging the starter, the primary fuel nozzles will automatically open at 8-13% N1 as long as there isn't a malfunction (open nozzle, low battery, etc) or the throttle isn't set too far above idle. As for hot starts, not yet but as far as I know this is planned to be implemented. Will add some excitement to starts and ensure that people check their DC voltages before and during starts. :) Cheers, - Bear Edited May 1, 2013 by HuggyBear missing capital Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty. - Robert A.

Killer_Kommando_ Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I follow the training procedure, yet soon after I go to full throttle I get a master caution light on the panel. None of the lights on the pedestal are illuminated however, and everything seems to work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggyBear Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Did you reset/extinguish the Master Caution during your pre-start checks? If so, when (what N2/NR) does the Master Caution re-appear as you advance the throttle? If you then reset/extinguish the Master Caution does it re-appear? - Bear Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty. - Robert A.
