Low RPM not working

[Kormoran]

Hi,

 

The first time I played the start-up training mission the low RPM alarm went off as it should. But after repeating the mission a few times I realized that the RPM limit warning light turns on, but the alarm is not working.

 

I repeated the start-up steps several times to see if it was something wrong I was doing, but I cant get the alarm to sound.

 

Thanks Belsimtek, I´m having a blast with the Huey!

Have you flicked the low rpm warning switch on and off to see what happens?

If the audio is manually set to OFF it will only return to AUDIO if it is either:

Manually switched,

N2 approaching operating range (6000 +/-50 N2 IIRC), or

If DC power is removed.

 

The RPM warning light is a separate system so doesn't get cancelled with the audio.

 

Can you please confirm if the switch returns to the AUDIO position when you do one or all of these things?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

I went through the star-up procedure again, checked the low RPM warning switch, and it was in the AUDIO position all the time. I flicked it on and off before starting the engine and nothing happened.

 

Then just before running the engine up I switched it off, and after reaching around 6000 it returned to AUDIO (as HuggyBear mentioned). I then switched it back to the OFF position and reduced the throttle until the RPM limit light turned on, and flicked it back to AUDIO. Still no sound from the alarm.

 

As a last test I increased the RPM back to operating range and flicked the switch on and off again, but no luck...:(

That's certainly strange. Please check the various volume settings in the options menu (that's the only other thing I can think of) but if you still have no luck please post a .trk file for us to investigate.

 

Thanks,

After turning the cockpit volume up the alarm started to sound again!

It was a simple volume issue after all...:D

 

But one thing I notice is that if the cockpit volume is set below 50%, I can't hear it at all. I wonder if it's a problem with my system.

 

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!

Glad to hear it mate!

 

I'll have a tinker with the volume settings and ask if it's something which can be improved.

 

Cheers,
