Engine start failure

[rufcuts1]

Pe-2 35 and both BF 110's engines keep cutting out on startup. Never had a problem in the past but have had a couple of weeks off playing and was wondering if a new update has changed startup procedure or theres a bug. All other planes including Pe-2 87 have no problems with

Set throttle to 7% then start engines. Try that .

Someti,mes this happens with cold engines I think

I came across this a couple of times. Once the engine starts and you regain control of the engine you're starting (since you can't do anything while the automated sequence starts), just increase the throttle a bit to prevent that engine cutting out.

That has nothing to do with his problem.

Engine fails to start sometimes, even on warm starts. It's ok, just select the engine that failed default key "1" for left or "2" for right try again.

 

I don't know the reason why the engines can be temperamental, but think it's more likely that it's deliberately modelled this way to reflect historical behaviour. Other far more knowledgeable people than I may be able to elaborate, but restarting the individual engine in the mean time should allow you to continue. I kind of like it though. Many years ago, I had a two stroke motorbike, that sometimes took several kicks to start. Should we really expect all the Aircraft to start first time  ?

Yes your more than likely right and after a number of times selecting the individual engines as you have stated I eventually could get the engines to keep idling, The thing that puzzles me is I didn't have this problem before. I noticed in the startup procedure that the throttle would automatically adjust to 10% but once engine fired the throttle would go back to 0% and I could do nothing about it until procedure was over ( Pe-2 35 ). BF 110's startup procedure allowed me to adjust throttle just in time to stop engine failure.

When you start your engines what is your throttle set to . I mean on joystick or what ever you use .

Makes no difference where I set throttle, same thing happens. I could be wrong but I think I've got an intermittent bug on throttle but only on mentioned planes for some reason. By the way, i'm playing on custom settings with only instrument panel and map marking icons activated.

I like it when the engine fails to start sometimes.

Changing the throttle have indeed no effect, because the "appropriate" amount of throttle is applied automatically during the automatic startup sequence and will override any position it was before.

 

Looking at your game settings, you may want to activate "warmed up engines" option. If you are starting cold, there are some risk of engines not firing, which is never the case when you start with oil warmed up before starting.

Yes your right, changing throttle on automatic startup has no effect until after sequence. Maybe for now i'll have to use "warmed up engines" on mentioned planes.

Using the pre-warmed engine option is both a very good and realistic thing to do, since it simulates the ground crew running and checking the engine before handing off the plane to the pilot.

Good point. Had not thought of it that way.

I see what your saying . Yes indeed it sets back too 0% on automatic .

I used to have the same problem if i had my throttle set back to 0% ``engines would cut out expert settings few patches back , i was told to have throttle set to 5% then click the start button . i've not had issues since that  , the only time was in TAW cold start ``i had issues with 110 , but now i only start engine 1`` first wait until running , i then switch to engine 2 and start . When both running switch to both engines and away we go . hope you get it fixed .
