UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Prefs Gone? CheckNewly Downloaded Plugins Removed (And brought back in)? CheckSo I have hit the two things that may be the issue causer and crossed my head. Anything else, it's 9.67, Mac 10.5.8, Default "The Jet," and Reviere's CJ1, CJ2 (Cessna 510 & 550). Quote
Oliver Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Prefs Gone? CheckNewly Downloaded Plugins Removed (And brought back in)? CheckSo I have hit the two things that may be the issue causer and crossed my head. Anything else, it's 9.67, Mac 10.5.8, Default "The Jet," and Reviere's CJ1, CJ2 (Cessna 510 & 550).Be. more. specific.! What doesn't work? Nothing happens when you turn on the Avionics\Batteries? Have you tried rebooting the computer? Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 Haven't tried rebooting, what happens is, I hit Command 1 or Command 1+2, the N1 goes up to 33%, then when I release the keys, the N1 immediately drops to 0. Everything else is working but the cold and dark start, that I have checked. Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 It does, and I have checked that. Quote
Ben Russell Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Really? Then why not fucking tell us that to begin with?Checklist your start up procedure, every step, or go away and fix it yourself.Your attitude is pathetic. Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 I'm not an idiot Ben, if I deleted prefs, checked plugins, and posted here, do you think I would have noticed if I don't have any fuel? Quote
Oliver Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I'm not an idiot Ben, if I deleted prefs, checked plugins, and posted here, do you think I would have noticed if I don't have any fuel?No dude, the thing is that you're barely telling us anything! It's hard to help someone unless they give you every detail Quote
Ben Russell Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Having fuel is different to setting fuel mixture levers if applicable.Write up a checklist of operations that you do, that used to work, and now does not.You may not be an idiot but you assume FAR too much.Assume this: We know NOTHING. You need to explain every single step you perform to cold-start. Leave nothing out.Making us play 40 questions to get you to your solution is not fair on us, it's a pathetic childish "serve me now" attitude.Others may have tolerance for it, I have lived with your generations pathetic helpless attitude far more than I would like and I'm hear to pour a bucket of icey brine on your head.

tkyler Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Guys...Reply 2 is enough of a clue. The mixture ratio is probably zero, which austin sets on cold and dark situations. "mixture ratio" is Austin's very generic way of adding fuel flow to the engine...so you have to figure out what button/lever controls the fuel mixture. If you have electricity (which you do to have the starter work) and the mixture ratio is 1 , the engines will start.On "The Jet"...the ignition switch ..if you click and "turn" it to start...it'll set the mixture ratio to 1 and then the engine will start using CTRL-1...however, if you do not do this step first with the ignition switch, CTRL-1 will not work.

UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 And last time I checked, the mixture goes to full rich on all aircraft when the ignition is hit, and doesn't reset.Checklist:1. Batteries, Avionics, Generator, Inverter-On2. Fuel Gauge-Fine3. Hit igniters4. Release Igniters when N1 reaches 33%, advance throttle5. Get pissed off as the N1 plummets back down to zero. Quote
Ben Russell Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Cirrus Jet - works-for-me checklist. 9.67Cold and dark start:1. Down arrow key to see entire 2D panel.2. Battery On3. Avionics On4. Generator On5. Click-and-hold the 3-position "ignition switch" located on the top-left of the dashboard above the avidyne speed ladder for one-second.Outcome:Click-and-holding the switch in step 5 sets the ignition mode to "START" - this fires up the turbine and the N1 and Fuel Flow gauges move accordingly.6. Breaks off7. Throttle upThe jet is now flyable. Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 Yes, I know how to start a plane. I 98% sure it is a glitch somewhere in X-Plane or something along those lines. Did check equipment failures, forget to mention earlier. I did everything you did with The Jet up to the ignition switch, as I use command-1. And don't get the outcome. Quote

And don't get the outcome.It's not a glitch in x-plane, I explained this to you in my post and I am 100% correct. The mixture ratio is your problem. if you do not use the ignition switch, the mixture will be zero and the engine will not start. You have been given the answer and are not listening. Turn on the mixture dataref and watch it yourself if you don't believe me. Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 If that is true, then how come this is the first time it has happened since I solved the issue with joysticks, engine failures, and not starting from cold and dark. I'll check it but I doubt that is why. Quote

Don't try to argue everytime someone tries to help you! Quote

I'll check it but I doubt that is why.Can I just mention something. You telling Tom that he is wrong is like telling Austin Meyer that he is wrong. Tom is one of the top developers for x plane. He has made 1 of the highest selling add ons for x plane...MU 2. Trust me, he knows what he is talking about. Quote
Ben Russell Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 This user is quite clearly trolling.UH-60: Please address your "bug" to http://forums.x-plane.comEveryone else: As he is obviously too good for any of our answers, advice, checklists or questions, please let this thread die of starvation.
