Luftwoller Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi all, just a quicky. Ive watched the various vids on how to start the Mig 15 and I still cant manage it. I saw one that said I should only turn the Accu switch on on the R/H/S but still nothing. I get to the start button, I hear the thing start to spool up, wind the engine stop lever right open and it runs for a second or 2 and then stops and wont even attempt to restart. I have to quit out and try again, Thx in advance, ...Guy Helicopters!! Never trust anything that screws itself into the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Hrothgar Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 You have to turn on ground power first. The battery is insufficient to run the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueRunner Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah, they should pull the video tutorial that's out there now since it most certainly do not work like that anymore. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzles Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 How do you find out this stuff? Is there a player manual im missing? It's in the quickstart guide, located in ...DCS World/Mods/Aircraft/Mig15/Docs. Also see the sticky at the top of the forum. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

DieHard Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Hi all, just a quicky. Ive watched the various vids on how to start the Mig 15 and I still cant manage it.

I have to move my Pro Throttle controller physically all the way back and hold it in that position to get a successful start. I listen to the engine spool up to its peaking sound in each phase: 1st phase after pushing the throttle handle start button is, hit HOME key. Again wait for the engine sound to peak, then Right Shift + Home, and hold it for a count of 5 seconds. There is a lever (Fuel Shutoff Valve) on the left side of the seat that needs to go down all the way to the bottom of its range to be fully open. I usually move my head over and look down to see if that lever goes fully down. Also, sometimes, the engine will not start because this same lever is not all the way up at the top of its range for the initial push button start. I found this out by trial and error over many start-up attempts. Sometimes the "Auto Start" , I call it the (cheat-start) on some of the Multiplayer servers (Left Windows key + Home key) will hang, then the engine will not start and it needs to be done manually, usually because that same lever is not to its full up position; why that is, I do not know.
