6./ZG26_Loke Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 S! I seem to have problems with starting the I-16, ah well more keeping the engine running. As it shuts down by it self right after it has started? What is causing that?
Finkeren Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Most likely candidate is that you have your mixture controller set fully backwards, which on the I-16 (as well as most other planes with mixture control) means that it simply starves the engine of fuel causing it to cut out immediately. The easy way to avoid this is to push your mixture to full rich (100%) right after the startup procedure finishes (which on the I-16 is a short while after the engine has fired up) 1
6./ZG26_Loke Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks Finkeren, that did work fine. Ended up with damage the engine though in flight. Could not get the oil rad to open so it was either that or that the engine kept switching between boost or no boost. Even though I had the throttle set to only about 55%.

Max continuous RPM is 2200.

(ie. before pressing 'E'). Once the engine starts all controls (prop pitch, mixture, radiators etc.) move to the position they were in prior to start up. This is true for all planes in the game.

That the way I do it also, however when we select "E" for the auto start, look at the list of messages and system that are turn on. The mixture 100% is part of it, then after all the auto start sequence, it cut the mixture The engine would never have started without fuel, why cutting it off after the sequence is beyond me. It would be like cutting the fuel cock or the magneto's right after the start, it defy the purpose of an autostart Edited January 23, 2016 by ATAG_dB

I.e. If you have your mixture controller at 0 and you press e, the engine will start but after the startup it will recognize your mixture axis Edited February 9, 2016 by Ace_In_Exile

But it's not, in fact it's back on the keyboard like default.

Sokol1 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Is question of invert the logic of mixture adjust at spawn, instead 0% the "mechanics" should leave the lever in 100% - as the startup script revert the controls for the spawn position. No more engine stalled.
