Hi guys ive just got a new combat sim something different to combat simulator which ive used for 2years .Dont know if anybodys got this falcon 4 allied force but im stuck with starting my f16 when i set the jfs to switch2 the engine doesnt start any ideas. Ive tried this on the falcon 4 forum to no joy but anybody out there that knows how to start an f16 could they help
cheers flyingbart

Assuming you have master on fuel set up etc
Throttle to Idle (move it up a bit from off)
JFS to 2
RPM gauge to 20%.
Throttle to 50%
Press Idle Detent

Throttle to 70%
RPM gauge to 25%+ & climbing
Throttle to Idle
RPM gauge to 70%
finish start-up

cheers AvHistory shall give it a go (will let u know wot happens lol)

nope nothing go through the proper procedures and press the idle detent then click the jfs to start2 throttle at idle but nothing the gauge doesnt budge

press the idle detent then click the jfs to start2 throttle at idle

The sequence you listed is not right.

Idle detent gets clicked after JFS2-RPM/20%-Throttle/50%-Press Idle Detent.

As soon as you hit JFS2 the engine should start to wind up. Be sure you are opening it enough on the initial idle setting.

do i have to keep holding down the jfs to start button or can i just click it cos nothing on the rpm gauge still moves not a bit even if i do the idle detent after but i carnt do that cos it doesnt even get too 20 percent

This is driving me nuts everthing i do i get no reply from the gauge wot so ever

Just one click it.  

Are you sure that:

Master Power 2-clicks
Master Fuel 1-click
Engine Fuel Feed/Normal 1-click
Air Source/Normal 1-click

are all set BEFORE you make the initial throttle to Idle move?

yep as above

try pushing throttle up to 50-60% of travel for idle setting & see what happens.

nope i think im gonna give it up as a bad job nothing seems to make the engine start no matter wot i do :-/

Its worth moving the throttle through its entire throw a couple times before starting the whole procedure to ensure the analogue axes are "kicked in" and being read by the program too.

cheers avhistory tried that still nothing i might re-install the game maybe its something to do with that .ive recently updated to 1.0.5 maybe it has something to do with that patch cos i only put that on 3 days ago.

RGR...Good Luck
