FSX Cera Bell412

Errrr, im still trying to start this beast following the video but it wont start:violent:. Guess im going to have to treat it like a hind helo, Hit the center control panel with my virtual fist and see if it starts.

OR YOU COULD CHEAT, go into slew mode by pressing Y move the aircraft with the joystick then press Y again followed by a double press of Q.

Should then be started. From here you could get it on the ground and save the flight while it's still running. When you next start the sim it will auto shutdown,and should be in the correct condition to start as per the video.

Well like the Army pack mule, i kicked it and it flys.

Errrr, im still trying to start this beast following the video but it wont start.

Start at the center console & flip every switch in the fuel control section so it is toggled towards the panel.
Glance up to the overhead panel & the 2 switches that are bottom right click on so they toggle towards the panel.
Look at the collective & using your mouse rotate both twist grips about 10deg.
Push the start switch (also on the collective) towards the left & you will see the EGT rise. After it peaks move the start switch to the right until engine 2 is running.
Next go back to the overhead panel I switch on both generators & both inverters & then turn off the batteries.
Lastly twist both throttles to full.

Thank bob, that work perfect and a excellent explaination for start up.

Could someone please on req do a San Diego Fire dept one please. It would be semi fictious as the SDFD does have the 412 in service.

The quickest way I've found is to switch everything oun the overherad console 'on', everything on the center console 'on' and then on the collective start eng1 then eng2, then increase engine rpm up to the green on the individual rpm gauges until the RPM light goes out.

that quite near my startup

my way is:
engine to idle
fuel related switches on
battery 1+2 to on
generator 1+2 to on
inverter 1+2 to on
lights switches on
radios on
start engine 1 wait until it is up
start engine 2 same procedere
engine 1 switch it to full rpm same for eng 2

take off

Yep - thats pretty much how i do it within 40 seconds - also bleep back the rpm before lifting to get the last warning light off!!

[CBris]

Well, I can start every time now - but still getting odd crashes, which may be FSX and not the Bell. I will wait for Win7 and rebuild the whole system in 32 bit as opposed to 64 bit Vista. I really have been having too many issues since I went that way.

My startup sequence?

Shortened by the book.

Four switches on the OHP to on (batt and inv)

Cycle the throttles

No. 1 fuel sys - three switches to on

Start No. 1 engine and switch off starter above 55%. Increase throttle to 10%

No. 2 fuel sys - three switches to on

Start No. 2 engine and switch off starter above 55%. Increase throttle to 10%

On OHP - switch on Gen and then lights as needed.

Check instruments and lights and throttle up to max.

Use the throttle trim to reduce RPM until the rotor RPM warning light goes out.

Set any other systems as needed

Fly

It really does fly nicely when I can get it there... Drivers are all correct, so there is something in the FSX setup that doesn't like my flying anymore...

And this is how they look coming straight out of the factory, for their flight testing, before being sent off for any additional equipment installation and their paint scheme.

That's a good looking bird, Mike.

That's a good looking bird, Mike.

Thanks! Just have to change the pilot's outfits to dark blue, and helmets to white....

Edit: It's been uploaded to the library here at SOH, and will appear when the admin can get to it.

That's a nice paint of Lifeguard 10. I saw that aircraft fly over many times when I lived in Roanoke, VA.
