Baby Daddy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hi guyz Something has been happening to me for quite a while now and I have this issue only on the F 15C. Depending on which engine I start first, my plane always drifts during the take off to that position and I crash. If I start left engine first, then the jet drifts towards the left grass before I can pull up and explode or crash immediately I pull up. In case I start the right engine first, I end up in the fence. I am only having this issue with a fully loaded F15. Other jets are ok, no problem at take off. I have a ratio of 8 take off crashes to 2 with the F15 which I don't understand why. Any ideas why and possible solution please? Thanks Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esb77 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Is there any difference between the engine RPMs when this happens? For your input hardware are you using a split throttle? Are you sure there aren't any double keybinds for your throttle controls? If it's really engine related, and it may or may not be, what is sounds like is whichever engine you start first is not being throttled up as much as the second engine you start. The most likely culprit if that's happening would be some sort of input hardware or keybind issue. Posting a .trk file of this happening would help people try to diagnose this for you. Callsign "Auger". It could mean to predict the future or a tool for boring large holes. I combine the two by predictably boring large holes in the ground with my plane.

winchesterdelta1 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 You have to wait a little bit longer for the engines to be totally spooled up. This happens when you try to take off or taxi right after you think you're engines are fully started right? The engine you start the latest will still need to catch up, even that the needle say they are the same RPM. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

Thank you, I will try your idea first because I take off almost immediately when I think my engines are ready. It does not even take me 3 minutes to take off. I will wait longer. And thanks to the previous member for his answer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 You can also set both engine at 80% and check them before going to full ab. Additionally, check ab by making sure the nozzle is open (it should be about 90% open iirc) To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Baby Daddy Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 You guyz really make our (Newbies) lives very easy. Its working now. I have not crashed during my last four take offs so far! The longer I wait and let the engines charge fully the smoother is my take off. However, as I said in my initial posting I only have this problem with the F15. Anyway, thanks very much!

However, as I said in my initial posting I only have this problem with the F15. If the RPMs match they match - nothing to wait for. There can always be some side drift due to crosswinds and/or weight distribution but you just have to use rudder gently to stay centered. Use rudder > axis tune > curve to make this easier to handle.

Svend_Dellepude Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Always leave it on. If you disengage the nosewheel will not lock to center, but sviwel freely. NWS will automatically turn off as you gain speed. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.

Baz000 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 at what speed does NWS turn off in the F-15C in the sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svend_Dellepude Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Dunno if it's speed dependent or weight dependent, but it seems to happen between 70-100 knots. It's a little difficult to judge since the F-15 picks up speed pretty fast. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
