nrowah Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 After the most recent update, 1.2.6.19532.290, I have been unable to start the right engine. I have tried repairing the plane and starting a new flight to see if I could fix it. I could only get it to start by taking off (carefully) and flying around for a minute. Anybody else having this problem?
Zaz0 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Same here, it sounds like missing fuel pumps. If not, what exactly mark the indicators when you try it?
Nybble Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 ...but the left engine will start without them...the right engine won't Any reason why that is? DCS Multiplayer Highlights Reel -
SkateZilla Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I dunno, my guess would have to be Pressure / Fuel flow / starving the engine. without them pumps on you get to like 1/3 of Idle RPM.

ApoNOOB Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) I had something weird last night too. In SP I did some practice with my new HOTAS and practiced landings. When I turned off the left engine and did a succesful single engine landing I was unable to spool up the left engine again. Even after motor mode for several minutes, with both engines down & APU on, i was unable to get it starting again. Normally it should have run back up normally? Sadly I didn't try repairing so a track would be worthless I guess, gonna try this again soon. Atleast it was fun to start/stop the engines with the throttle! xD Edited October 23, 2013 by ApoNOOB correction
sobek Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Any reason why that is? The fuel line to the APU and left engine is fed by an auxiliary pump driven off the DC bus as long as the generators aren't powering the AC bus. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
archorn Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I also have start up problems. If I turn left engine it will kick up to `40% and right wont move. Also if I turn off left and then kick right it will reach40% too and no further... Alo left wont kick in that case. EDIT: Before recent update all worked fine.

Hamblue Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I've had it happen when I forget to turn on the inverter after the battery.

I'm going to play all tutorials again, in case I'm missing something else... This game can make you look dumb just because you forgot about one switch.

ApoNOOB Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I've seen our real pilots do this too, just a month or so ago. How many forgotten landing gears do you get? Not that I have ever done anything stupid like that... repeatedly... *cough* @Archon, lol you have no idea! Once somebody tried 30 minutes to explain to me how the different radios worked till he had the idea that maybe, I didn't realize there are 3 different hotkeys for each one on the HOTAS! :D Checklists, warning lights and the manual are your best friends. Also make sure you read up on the CDU Alignment (either manual, here on the forums or youtube) that can be a bit confusing for newcomers too.
nrowah Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 I wasn't having problems with the procedure. However, after trying to replicate the problem today, the right engine started up just fine. I guess I must have been missing something.
