Devil 505 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hey Gents, Just thought I would get back into flying the 109 for a bit an I am hitting a snag. Now I am not sure if it has to do with my lack of radio experience in the 109 or the new patch released. I tune into the tower (triangle on the comms knob) granted the start up from ATC, then when I request ground crew to run initial start up, no response. The ground crew responds to rearming and refueling, but not to the run up. I have tried everything I know possible. Made sure it was F8 then F4. Still no go. I am hoping it is a simple fix as I can not get the bird started without it. I have checked all circuit breakers and as stated above, it seems I have comms with everybody except at this stage. Even followed the training mission to the T, no go when I get to that point. When I request the run up, my pilot says nothing and neither does the ground crew.

Devil 505 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 That would be it. I guess its just a waiting game now to correct the bug. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD-MM Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Under Controls you can set a short Cut Button called "Signal Starter Ground Crew" to work without Radio Menue...

Art-J Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Under Controls you can set a short Cut Button called "Signal Starter Ground Crew" to work without Radio Menue... Doesn't seem to be possible to assign, though... Edit - correction - impossible to assign to a key, but any joystick button will do.

Remarkymarkable Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I just bought the 109 module and now it's broken? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 OK, I just discovered that it does work. The ground crew just doesn't answer you. Go through the usual procedure to call for a start, you can hear the starter motor turning, pull the handle, release it and the engine starts.

Ulrik von Beck Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Sorry to say that but it doesn't work for me, neither in MP nor in local. The -- removal doesn't work either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I call the ground crew, ask for the start, and if you listen carefully you can hear the starter motor wind up after about 30 seconds. Once the whirring sound levels off to a consistent level, pull the starter handle and release, the engine then starts. Most times I have to do this twice to get it to start. Good luck!

Esac_mirmidon Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Are you using 2.5.0? " You must think in russian.."

IJG2_Bouma Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 i am using the last update 2.5.1 I had no bug in 2.5.0 ! its a shame [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]https://discord.gg/uzdHvPa http://www.1jg2.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Then in 2.5.1 just, after doing my fix, go to controls and map a key for the starter. In 2.5.1 you can bind a key and keep pressed that key to charge the starter prior to start the engine. Just look for the engine starter in controls and map It. " You must think in russian.."

LeCuvier Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Then in 2.5.1 just, after doing my fix, go to controls and map a key for the starter. In 2.5.1 you can bind a key and keep pressed that key to charge the starter prior to start the engine. Just look for the engine starter in controls and map It. Why do you keep the key pressed? I mapped a pushbutton to "Signal Starter Crew" and I just push the button once. No need to hold it.

Esac_mirmidon Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Maybe you are right. In my first try i've pressed once but the starter didnt get charged, thats why on my second attempt i've pressed the key all the way down. But maybe you are right and the starter only need one press. I will try again " You must think in russian.."
