Dumb helos..........

[FiGHtA_PiLoT]

Ok, l like operating over Iraq in a blackhawk. I land in one spot, pretend to unload troops (if you guys know where to get ground troops, tanks and humvee scenery, please tell me) then I refuel. I like to shut off my engines, but when I start them up again, the helo startup wont play, and instead the rotors reach their rpms in about 2 seconds and the helo is instantly started up. I like having realistic flights, so i want the helo to start up properly. And this happens with all helos! And if you don't know what I mean, hop in the bell206b. Shut it down, then wait for it to be completely shut off(like the rotors are done spinning and the engine is cut) start it up again. youll know what I mean. Will this problem be fixed in SP1?

There is a gauge on the panel somewhere. You have to watch it reach between 90 and 100% before starting the engine or it doesn't work. It is a loooooooooong time since I've flown a chopper however so the memory is a little vague

Plus, there's a FS9 scenery which features an american camp all with Humvees and Abrahms, etc...

As far as I remember, you can find it on SimV, but I don't know whether that camp is located in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Try it yourself.

If it works, it works, if it doesn't, well...it doesn't.

Nope, but I can push you in the right direction...


There's three sites to search in:

1. Simviation
2. Flightsim.com
3. Avsim.com

I don't pretend to know anything about helos, but don't they usually keep the engine running while inserting troops so they can get out in a hurry?

yea they usualy keep the engines running but turn the collective down and run teh engines at a lower rpm but not so low that it wont get up to speed in time to get out fast

yeah they do........I meant I like to insert em and them get to my little "base" and refuel.  Sorry bout that
