@@krostouin That's an EOR check, not necessarily startup. If you have to egress the aircraft before starting takeoff roll, it's usually better to raise the canopy (or blow it) and go on foot. Unless the aircraft is in a pool of burning fuel, using the ejection seat is adding one more step that can get you killed. Because using that seat on the ground might get you killed. Jumping 6-7 feet out of the cockpit is not likely to kill you, but the chute failing to deploy will. I know they're supposed to be zero/zero seats, but there is always risk in using them. Nugget Viper pilot was killed on Shaw about a couple years back when he hit the ILS antennas with his gear, collapsed a MLG, and punched out on the runway. Parachute never deployed, and he came down in the seat and was killed by the impact. He's not the first and probably won't be the last to die from an ejection malfunction
These tutorials are amazing! Your RL experience makes a huge difference and these walkthroughs the thought of getting onto the new jet so much more inviting. Thank you gentlemen and thank you Razbam! Can’t wait!
I like how this will be the definitive cold start tutorial because it’s made by those who created the module and flew it in real ops. Other guides may explain things in a more complete context for specific missions and offer other preferences, but you know nothing is incorrect with this one.
Great video, can't wait for the final release so I can dive into the study mode to begin the journey. As I live in the flight path of Nellis AFB, getting to know the F-15 and the challenges will be a real joy. Thanks!
Super excited about this - I’m also razzed about an interactive crew chief which has been a huge piece of missing Emerson! Keep up the great work guys!!!
Great video, I will have to watch it several times and take notes, as there is so much information here. Really toughtful making it multicrew, adds interest to the video .. cheers!
To RAZBAM, I just watched the F-15 cold start video on youtube. I hope that Solo player like me can get the same fun and enjoyment when flying this aircraft. Being an auditor and a weekend virtual flyer I hope the avionics and weapons system is not too difficult to master without the WSO. Looking forward to this module ✌
I am so ready for this! I know I’m going to sound like a spoiled brat but JULY? Ahhhh man that’s rough! There were aooooo many were close, really close and now July! Well I’m sure it’ll be worth it when we finally get it in our virtual hangers! You have done an awesome job with these tutorials! Super stoked and standing by to stand by to get it! Thanks guys, you Rock Notso even if your fm the Air Force! Semper Paratus!😂🤙
Finally a Legit Cold Start Video. as a Former Crew Chief. I was cringing at the others!! JFS and Spool Down still seem to Quiet. they are both profound.
I am super impressed with both Razbam and ED as they get super small details correct that don't make any difference to the operation but are legit. I was waiting for this one to see if the 15 JFS was going to sound different than the 16 just like it does IRL. Sure enough they even got that detail right that only someone who has seen both start multiple times would even notice.
I'm sure some mod will be added in for the 35 (if it isn't already in) but just like with the 22 it will be a ton of guess work by the mod makers. Hence not realistic I'm sure.
A tip that took me 3 hours to figure out. If you map the finger lifts to a HOTAS switch, try to use one that is "momentary." When you let go, it returns to the OFF position. Engines will not start if the finger lift is UP. Return the HOTAS switch to off so the finger lift drops back down.
You do your switch settings I do on actual engine runs. Left to right. And you checked all the right stuff. Some switches are in different positions for maintenance runs though.
Now when it releases in a couple days, is the WSO AI going to be functional at all? Is it going to be able to start everything in the backseat while you do the front seat thing? I finally caved in and pre-purchased it. So the less I gotta do to get it going the better.
Yes yes, it’s all looks fantastic and the work that’s gone into this module is impressive indeed and you should be justifiably proud of yourselves. However, all these teasers are starting to get annoying now, as I paid for this months and months ago. So it’s time to poop or get off the potty, or at the least give us a date. Failing that knock it off with the teasers
If EA isn't until July there are going to be some very hurt feelings. A month and a half and some more of watching folks push this around youtube may be great for squashing bugs in some respects, but there's going to be some very salty language passed round very soon! Lol
please tell me you implemented discharging the 2nd JFS bottle incase you forget to have starter switch on first pull. Prior 15 crew chief here on C/D/E models and love the attention to details I've seen so far
