leafer Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 This is for a friend who is having problem with his TM Warthog. He's starting on the runway and he could see that when moving the throttle, the collective moved, but the engine stayed idling. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Suchacz Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Turn on the control indicator (rctrl+enter) to see reaction to the control inputs. Maybe he forget to turn the corrector to the max - full right. It sets the governor to auto. Edited September 21, 2013 by Suchacz Per aspera ad astra!

Nielis Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 How do you put the corrector to the right as I have the same problem My Pictures at: http://vortex-images.com/
Suchacz Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Please look into Options/Controls, I think it's PageUp/Down. It can be assigned to an axis (recomended). Per aspera ad astra!

Nielis Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Please look into Options/Controls, I think it's PageUp/Down. It can be assigned to an axis (recomended). I tried that but nothing happend, I also try to use the collective via de A/Q keys but no joy. I see the indicators spoil up just as when I'm using the joystick but no reaction from the rotor what so ever. My Pictures at: http://vortex-images.com/
Suchacz Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Dunno, for further examination of your problem please post a track with this behavior. Per aspera ad astra!

leafer Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks, guys. I'll let you know how it goes. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
leafer Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 No joy. He has a spare Logitech G940 he'll test the Mi-8 with. This is kinda weird since the animated collective moves when moving his throttle. I'm lost for ideas here. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Suchacz Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 I'm out of ideas. Without a track we won't move any further... Per aspera ad astra!

3dmad Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Exactly same problem here. BTW i have a black box in the upper left corner in 3rd person (rear arcade) view. The Mi8 just goes all the way down and i just can´t do anything. Tried with Saitek X52 and keyboard+mouse without success. Thx for any help.
Suchacz Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I saw the replay and well... still dunno what is the problem. Is this behavior in all of the missions? Try another one. And you can try to repair the game (Start menu/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Repair DCS World) Per aspera ad astra!

And you can try to repair the game (Start menu/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Repair DCS World) I have the same issue. This is a clean install of v1.2.6 that displayed the problem. Since then, I have run repair. Wiped the Saved Games folder. Cleared all controls and setup just the basic axis and nothing else. I set up the controls for both the Huey and Mi-8 and the Mi-8 goes nowhere while the Huey flies just fine. Oh yes, this was in manually created missions set to runway start.

cichlidfan Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Well, if I take over control from your track, my collective works fine. Immediately after exiting your track I started one of the installed Mi-8 missions and still no lift off. Gauges indicate the engine is receiving the message from the collective but...

Suchacz Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Well, so it is some fault in that mission. Which one is it? I will try it from my instalation... Per aspera ad astra!

Laro Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 @Nielis: Try the simulation mode instead of the game mode, i think the game mode isn't finished yet (I unzipped your track and noticed it is set to game mode).

Guys, check your game mode and switch it to SIM!:thumbup: I saw that it was in Game mode, when I tried the Huey (Btw, that lifebar needs to be changed or dumped), but never bothered changing it. Other than the Mi-8, I had no great interest in running 1.2.6 for actual use. Thanks.

leafer Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Great investigative work, Laro. Would have been nice if someone from the development team showed up with the answer. Glad it worked out for ya, cichlidfan. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Glad it worked out for ya, cichlidfan. Thanks. Indeed, a beta should not have something that basic not working, at least not without, at minimum, a statement to that effect for the benefit of first time DCS buyers, if for no other reason.
