dooom Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 ..very frustrated - since new patch i absolutely cannot get the darn plane to fire up on ramp start. Did something change or did i get a little bit :joystick: since last week? I never had any problems before. i tried 3 servers tonight and same results. It just sputters and dies. can someone please confirm a ramp start works as expected in MP? Am i going crazy?

leafer Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just tried it and it worked. Check the magnitos and fuel shut off valve? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadwell Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 if it sputters and dies it means either ur not changing ur mixture (pressing M when it starts turning over on its own) or ur magnitos are off, if its too hot or too cold sometimes u need to keep tapping M till it gets up to full idle rpms then stopping pressing M on auto once the engines up to speed My youtube channel Remember: the fun is in the fight, not the kill, so say NO! to the AIM-120.

Foul Ole Ron Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Haven't noticed any difference. Prime for 6 seconds, switch the engine on and then switch the mixture after it sputters a couple of times works each time for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suchacz Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Try the autostart cheat... Anyway, everything is alright for me in 1.2.5. Per aspera ad astra!

zaelu Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Don't use throttle at all. forget about that one inch open at start. Imho never worked properly and the engine choked with fuel most of the times. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin-27 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've seen on random rare occasions where the engine wouldn't cooperate and everything seemed correct in a known environment. Not sure why that is. There is something you may want to try to avoid some frustration at times like those... if you jockey the mixture setting (Mine is a the 3-way switch on my throttle) you can force an ornery engine to start. It's a combination of moving between the three positions a few times to keep the prop rotating until it catches. Might not be the correct method but it's better than punching your keyboard.

Pman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've not noticed any difference, same as it always has been for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis302 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've noticed a slight difference. Like Merlin-27 said, jiggle the mixture between idle cutoff and run a few times while it's sputtering and it will fire if it's giving you trouble. I have mine set to a 3-way switch as well. I used this method even before 1.2.5 if I was having trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooom Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 hmmm - ok i will try foregoing the 1 inch throttle and see if that works. as for the mix jiggle - i tried that and no-go. definately have fuel valve and magnetos on... i started the p51 many many times before - ergo my frustration ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have this same issue there? EDIT: Logged on to my combat server and tried about 20 start-ups from Nalchik and Beslan. My findings were interesting. With 0% throttle I can start no problem. With 1" to 50% throttle I have to do the mixture trick to get it to finally catch but it does start every time. You can perform that mixture trick by just switching between Idle cutoff and RUN(Auto Rich). It seems pretty quick and reliable if you just go 1 second between each until the prop gets up to speed and stays there.

Definitely changed after patch IMO... If I use 1" the plane doesn't start.
