jfri Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 In the first voiced tutorial about startup I follow the instructions and the helo starts up with the rotor turning. Then the engine seem to stop since the rotor stop spinning after which I was told that I have successfully finished the tutorial ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironhand Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 In the first voiced tutorial about startup I follow the instructions and the helo starts up with the rotor turning. Then the engine seem to stop since the rotor stop spinning after which I was told that I have successfully finished the tutorial ? I had the same experience. "Successfully" started the helo and, then, the engine slowly spooled down until the rotor stopped.

swatstar98 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That's maybe because you moved up the rpm too fast :D Chinook lover - Rober - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhand Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That's maybe because you moved up the rpm too fast :D I wasn’t even trying to fly it. So, no, I don’t think so.

swatstar98 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Okay, I tried it and its working correctly. The most common mistake is not maintaning the 2 rotor and turbine rpm needles together when pushing the fuel lever forward after the rotor starts spinning. Push it little by little not all at once, that may be your problem. Chinook lover - Rober - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push it little by little not all at once, that may be your problem. Yes I think that I made that mistake at some occasions. But also I had some problems with the autopilot not being able to set main to on which might have affected the engine. Now in the case I got everything with the startup correct I encounter a problem when taking off. When I do that the helicopter starts spinning around. Should not the enabled autopilot prevent this ? I can stop this spinning with my rudder pedals but should it be necessary to this manually ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatstar98 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 You have to do it manually, the only helicopter in DCS that has autorudder is the Kamov, for the rest you have to do it manually :D Chinook lover - Rober - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton181 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I can stop this spinning with my rudder pedals but should it be necessary to this manually ? In helicopters they are not called rudder pedals, but anti-torque pedals, for a reason you discovered the hard way.
