aledmb Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) for the love of god, where is the "start switch", other than the HOME key on my keyboard? your manual doesn't have any other reference for this switch... it just does not exist! also, do you know that the manual describes a completely different procedure than the one you give in the cold start tutorial?

lemoen Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I think the Huey's start button is on the bottom of the collective and you can't see it or click it anyway, so you kinda have to use HOME or bind it to something you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeMoGas Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Our UH1 is special and has no stater trigger modeled. Have no idea why they did this. Many things in/on the UH1 are wrong from an art perspective. I hope Belsim revisits this module and fixes these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargeo Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The collective in DCS is slightly different to the real thing (and even then there are differences between operators) but lemoen is right its a trigger on the bottom of the collective. Start procedures are kind of a guideline or up to operator's SOP. IRL, the RNZAF Huey had a lot longer start procedure than what is referenced in either, and you had to use "patter" which are specific words to say when things happen like "15, rotors away..30, EGT XXX%..40, starters out" for the crew. Ultimately there are only a few switches you have to make to start it. Bat, main gen, inverter, main fuel, hyd cont, force trim, fuel all on Roll the throttle to max and back to the stop Hold the start button until NG 40 then starter gen to stby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harf4ng Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Roll the throttle to max and back to the stop Except that you can't roll the throttle to the max with a stick you have to use the keyboard with page up, right? The collective stick is disabled until you unlock it...

Tanuki44 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 By assigning a collective button to the 'PageUp' key, as soon as the cursor has passed the 'idle ground', the accelerator becomes functional. It's not perfect, but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow KT Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 See that trigger ? That's the start button you press to start the engine ("Home" key on the keyboard, by default) 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki44 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think we are talking about the unlock button of the throttle (currently 'Page Up') and not the 'Start' Push Button which poses no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1-1 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think we are talking about the unlock button of the throttle (currently 'Page Up') and not the 'Start' Push Button which poses no problem. nope, he referenced the HOME key.
