Hot Start vs Cold Start Issue

[memento10]

Hi Guys,

 

I've been trouble shooting this issue for a while but I can't figure it out.

 

Some missions start with the chopper already running (I'm calling Hot Start) and some you have to start (Cold Start).

 

I have a pit setup using Sioc for just about all the switches.

 

When I start a mission that's Cold Start and I start the chopper myself... everything works fine.

 

When I start a mission that's Hot Start I get the following problem:

- no power to Shkval

- no power to Auto Turn and other targeting buttons

- voice message 'Doppler Navigation System Failure'

- can't get the Helmet Mounted Sight to turn on

 

I've made sure both batteries are on, Weapon System Power (beside Eject switches) is on, K-041 Power switch is on... can't figure it out.

I've even tried shutting down the chopper and restarting it but still no luck.

 

Any suggestions I could try?

 

Thanks in advance!

isn't it just an out of sync issue between pit and BS ?

in that case you have just to use click mouse on cockpit to reset switches just like they are in your ownmade cockpit ; and only after that you can use your own pit switches...

Hi Hellfrog,

 

I thought that might work as well but no luck... I thought there might be a switch I was missing or something. I tried using the mouse in the cockpit but no solution... still trying to figure this out.

an idea :

throttle issue ? (not collective)

if your pit has analog throttle attribute of yellow throttles commands , it surpasses PgUp PgDn clicks on BS screen... may cause your issue.

 

a button forgotten on back right panel ?

Hello!

Do you have solve problem with synchronisation?

[memento10]

I could never find a solution to this problem and I could only conclude it was a bug with the software. Are you having same problem?

[lancer2000]

I have similar problem. When I start the game (Cold or Hot start) virtual switches not match with my cockpit. Sometimes is all OK, most often after second run the mission.

 

I think have solution, I use one input to resync switches

 

This is sample code:

 

Link IOCARD_SW, Input 43 // Synchronise button
{
 IF &WP_GUNSIGHT = 1
 {
   &WP_GUNSIGHT = 1    
 }
 ELSE
 {
   &WP_GUNSIGHT = 0    
 }
}

Var 0109, name WP_GUNSIGHT, Link IOCARD_SW, Input 12, Type I     // Weapon Panel Gun Sight
