Hi did you check if engines are running but rotor is just not spinning? I asked you because I had a similar problem and i resolved it changing "engine type" from 5 to 3 (turboprop to helo-turbine) in aircraft.cfg file.
It's weird, but probably the original setting didn't like to my Fsx installation!

Thanks Sag. No joy with that. Looking at the fine print again to see where I screwed up. Something is not right, that's for sure.
 
I have a feeling that the aircraft not banking while on AP is somewhere in this code

Hi did you check wind speed? Cerasim support suggested me to set it below 5 kts.

Could you please tell me better about the problem? So you turn on battery, generators, inverters.. and switch yellow engines levers on Flt.. but engines (watch engines' panel) are not starting up? Did you try pressing Ctrl+E continuosly?

Engines are not starting up. Tried the Ctrl+E as well. Nothing. I'm becoming more convinced it's something to do with the Steam version, or possibly with windows 10, although I have several other helicopters, and a number of fixed wing that work just fine.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
Still waiting on a response from Carasim.

My theory is that some helos are a pain to start because of my default flight which is the stock Cessna in a 'cold and dark' state.

Anyways, here's my quick and dirty way to get the engines up and running.

First step is to turn on the battery with a keyboard shortcut. I've assigned Shift+V for that.
Second step is to open up the menu with Shift+1 and select 'Ready to Fly'
Last step is the keyboard command Ctrl+Shift+F4 which sets the mixture to full rich. Make sure your throttle is set to 0%, of course.

Don't ask me why or how, but it works for me. I haven't tried the manual start, at least not until someone puts together a nice 'how-to' video.

Cheers :very_drunk:
 
Hepl, Startup problem with the Cera AS365

Warhorse, you hit the memory bank:applause:
Defaulted the Cessna and fired it up. Changed AC to the 365 and found the engines up and running, clicked on the quick start to make sure all the switches a on.
Thank you very much guys for all your help.

manual start ? do you mean with the manual backup handles of with the fadecs ?

the checklist that comes with the aircraft is quite good and Im waiting for one of my buddies to throw me a copy of the real manual so I can provide an a5 size checklist.

anyone found a solution to the missing banking when on AP ?
 
so I got a reply from Cerasim on the lack of banking when on AP

"We are improving our product, We can not increase the bank, this will cause problems in the flight dynamics"

surely there must be a way around this as other aircraft are able to do this ?

thoughts anyone ??

Hi, about this.. does nobody of you have the possibility to share the AS365N3 Flight Manual in pdf? I cannot find it on the web notwithstanding all my efforts!
Thanks
 
Well all systems are working now from the quick start menu- don't ask me how. Messing around with a repaint. Picture taken at a lighthouse on the west side of Vancouver Island BC.

Hi I'm looking for this aircraft's flight manual to better understand it. Do you have a pdf to share with me?
Thanks!
 
Rotor Correction for Traverse City

It was pointed out to me that the Rotor textures were not showing in the Traverse City version of the CeraSim's AS365 Repaint USCG Traverse City texture. The corrected textures can be downloaded HERE!!!
