C-27J Spartan

Rick,

Some slight adjustments have been made to the autostart feature and as such, the associated aircraft checklist. Once the engines are idling post start, switch the prop control switches to the NORM position and you should be good to go.

What's happening is you're likely trying to take off with feathered props.

The revised manual covers these items.

Regards


Thank you for your response I will update it again!

What is that noise in the background-pulsating whine?
The APU is off


EDIT: with that sound I can not get rid of I am back to V1.2 without the Hotfix-link broken at Iris
 
Hello,

With the 2.0 patch using autostart, when I start up the engines the port side engine starts pulling or moving the plane is circles. (I have the parking brake set to "always on" as my default startup (saved) flight. It seems also that the C-27J parking brake is tied to the normal brake command, so applying normal brakes might also affect the parking brake.) Once I've started the starboard side engine, and applied the parking brake command a few times, the C-27J will stop moving, usually. But, by then of course, the plane is no longer lined up on the runway. Seems like lot's of thrust is applied to C-27J engines at startup, or something like that. The plane is basically uncontrolable at startup, on my computer.

I hope I've listed these 2.0 problems in a logical, easy to understand, manner.

I'm using perfectly calibrated CH Products joystick and throttle.
 
Is your fuel pump off?


Yes
There was another person on the Iris forums that posted in my thread he had the same noise.....

Went thru the manual and can't seem to find

BTW- Would you have the Hot Fix 1.2.1?

I too have the strange noise since applying update 2.0, it starts as soon as any C27J is selected in the select aircraft panel and even before the scenery as loaded.
If I change to another aircraft type that sound then goes away, so it is linked to something in the C27.
It sounds like a warning alarm but I can't find out what for, and it's still there once the engines have started. Bloody loud also!

Also have same problem on startup one engine reving it's nuts off and going in circles with the parking brakes on.
 
It sounds like an roughly GONG GONG GONG and happens as soon as any power is applied to the AC and does not go away when up and running with no warnings.

I have tracked it down to the display_init.wave file
 
I too experience the same problems with the engine stuck in reverse, whole aircraft spinning around its own axis on the rwy and alarms going off :D
 
Does anyone have the Hotfix1.2.1?

Went back to the 1.2 for now

Yep, seems to be stuck in a loop, and it won't go away even when turning off sounds in Fsx with the 'q' key.

No problems otherwise here. Both engines start without problems. The aircraft crawls a little but that can be managed with the brakes.
 
Jeeez, got my hopes up that this one would finally be fixed. I hope it comes to fruition soon, as stated by Karen. Hope her and David are faring better than this time last year and they can get back into finishing their older stablemates. This is certainly a positive move in the right direction I have been hoping for.
 
I bought this model back when it was on sale at the end of last year which was 1.0 version. I tried to subsequent hotfix and didn't like it at all and reverted back to 1.0. I tested this patch out and like it with the exception of the looping instrument wave sound file. I reverted back to 1.0 again but took the new VC and night textures which work great with better loading speed and FPS performance. I hope the sound loop bug get's sorted as that's really all I could find wrong with it.
 
Looping sound fixed, now no external engine sounds! Internal engine & vc sounds seem to be intact.

Please disregard last, I found the problem and it was "user error" :icon_lol::redf: in mixing up/deleting installation files. It works excellently now!
 
Working like a champ in FSX and issues in Prepar3D. The gears in Prepar3D go up but don't want to come down:icon_lol::icon_lol:.

Good to know! Thanks for updating us.

I'd sympathise, but we're not offering support for Prepar3D... yet... ;-) :jump:

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Have a great weekend.
