Trouble with starting helos (Read 782 times)

I'm new here and this may have been addressed already but I haven't found anything in the searches.

I'm having issues starting helos in FSX. I have Gold with Acceleration. I can start the R22 with Ctrl E and fly with no problem. The Augusta begins the start process with Ctrl E but I must manually start the fuel (ctrl shft f4 doesn't work). I can't do anything with the Jet Ranger (it flies fine in missions with the engine already running). The Jet Ranger only turns on the battery with Ctrl E. I've also downloaded a supercobra that just sits there no matter what I do.

Is this a software issue where a .cfg file needs to be located and allowed to rebuild or should I just kill all helos and stick to fixed wing?

Thanks in advance.

Ctrl E isnt the best thing to do.... The jet ranger there is a URL valve switch, flip that up and it fires up for some reason... Undecided

is that the red switch on the bottom right of the panel? That one is titled as fuel pump.

Am I missing something?

Oh and thanks for the help.

Try Ctrl+Shift+F4 to start.....Ctrl+Shift+F1 to stop the engine Undecided

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Ctrl Shift F4 doesn't work unfortunately.

Choice "B" is looking better and better...

well danged if the slew didn't work. the jet ranger starts up allows landing, engine off, and restart. go figure...

I have downloaded a super cobra and can get it started using the slew but as soon as I set her back on the tarmac the engine dies until I slew her back in the air.

I guess this is the best i'm gonna get.

Thanks for the help folks.

Hi & welcome to the forum. This might depend on your default flight. Have you changed it? How did you shut down the engine(s)?

I must admit that I don't usually fly helicopters & know very little about them. However, I find them much easier to fly in FSX than previous versions of MSFS.

I've never experienced the problems you describe as I use the original FSX default flight settings with the engines already running when the flight loads. I tried shutting down the engine on the Jet Ranger with Ctrl+Shift+F1 & restarted it with Ctrl+E with no problem. I then selected the Agusta with the same result. This was on Hard realism settings.

I hope this is some help.

if nothing works and you don't have too many addons installed, you might want to try a fsx reinstall
