IvanK Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I am having a weird Engine Start problem with the SU25 since 1.2.5 I think its a bug Ramp Start Dark Aeroplane I turn on the electrics R Shft L cockpit comes alive. I press either of the Eng Start keys (R ALT Home or R CTL Home) Nothing happens .... Start light remains extinguished. I have tried this with my On mission files and On line. RWY START If However I take the same mission but change it to "Take Off from Rwy" start waypoint I start with both engines running ok. I shut them down and turn off electrics I then do the standard Start as I detailed in the ramp start all is normal Whats going on ? (No issues with SU25T) Edited August 9, 2013 by IvanK
Gloom Demon Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 If your throttle is not at Idle position, when starting your engines, they become swamped with fuel and fail to start - you have to return to Idle and wait a couple of minutes. Sometimes engines won't start even with throttle at Idle position - it helps to add a bit of throttle for a second and then reduce it to Idle. I presume that means adding a bit of fuel, so that the engines start working. Or it could be a bug, but it solves the problem for me.

IvanK Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Throttles are at Idle. I have tried various throttle settings as well to no avail. Given that the SU25T (and all other aircraft in game) start I think its an SU25 bug. EDIT I actually revisited this throttle thing on your suggestion Gloom Demon. Seems it does work if I have the the throttles just barely cracked. At IDLE = no start, Open about 4mm starts ok, Open any more no start. EDIT 2 Re calibrated (CH) Throttle START issue is now gone ! ? I still think something is odd with the SU25 as it was the only aircraft affected. Edited August 9, 2013 by IvanK
Drona Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Nope... it works fine here, ramp start, runway start or air restart. I guess it maybe a throttle issue or just do a repair DCS :)
kontiuka Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Do you actually have fuel in your plane? You may need to get the ground crew to fill you up.
Paganus Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 It's the throttle. This has been going on all the way back to lomac. Sometimes it's just calibration. You can also get this if the control you use for the throttle is spiking. That's why the calibration fixed it.
