ams999 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Since the update to 2.5.0.15085 the gear switch of the Fw190 is at the 'ein' position, so as soon as electricity is switched on, the gear retracts on the ground. Easy enough when doing the cold start (just press 'aus' first) but the instant action take-off mission is unplayable this way. From cold start, I can't start the engine anymore; doing the same procedure as before the update, the engine splutters but doesn't run - has the startup procedure been changed? Thanks!

kelpie Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I just came up with the exact same problem. After 2 days of trying to get the update to complete I can't even get the 190 started now. I checked the Startup Training mission and the procedure is the same. The engine won't start and you must hit the extend landing gear button first or else you fall to the ground. It's certainly one way to lose the war. :P Update: I just tried the Bf-109 and the P-51D. Those are both okay. The issue is solely with the Fw-190.

Marduk879 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ive got exactly the same problem with my Dora too. Already posted it in the open beta forum section aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kappi Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's also talked about in the spitfire section of the forums. Seems to be a patch related problem and ED is working on it. ___________________________________________ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Looking forward to it, Belsimtek!:thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know Kappi. :thumbup: I don't have the Spitfire so I couldn't test that one. As long as ED knows about it we'll be in good shape by the next update. :smilewink: Until then, I'll just keep working on keeping the 109 flying. For some reason my engine bangs and stops working shortly after takeoff. I never have that problem with the 190 and the 51D.

ams999 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 And I just noticed that in the other missions where the engine is running (dogfight, free flight) the engine immediately dies. Hope ED can fix this soon...
