[REPORTED] Starter button = immediate 20% RPM; even without priming

Recommended Posts

I noticed this in 2.5.3.21107. Previously the engine would crank 2-3 times, then pause for a second, crank 2-3 times, pause for a second, repeat until magnetos turned on/engine started.

 

Currently, pressing the starter button (or default HOME key) results in immediate 20% RPM, and immediate engine start. Engine can be started without doing any priming at all.

 

Track attached.

 

Reverting to 21106 does NOT resolve the issue. I guess the last time it worked properly was 20601 Update 9.

I have observed the same behaviour, I hadn't tested the module in the previous DCS versions so I couldn't compare but it did seem very odd to see it start like that in 2.5.3.

Seems to still be an issue. In YouTube videos back from release I see the behaviour with the engine cranking a few times before starting, but for me it just starts instantly even without priming and on a cold day. Starts no problem at idle throttle too, don't even need 1/3.

This is still present.

 

Air on. Mags on. Touch the starter and she fires straight up. Very boring.

Me too. Shame, I used ti like the 'reticence' of the engine. Will it? Won't it?

 

Yes exactly.

 

Here is a track showing the bug again. In latest Open Beta.

Can we at least get a "Reported" on this?

Thanks Nineline! Good to see this stuff getting picked up. Yak is a great module, just needs some TLC :D
