Blizz12 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Hi, I really enjoy flying the Vans RV-4. There are some little problems which should be easy to fix: 1. There is no oil in the engine when the airplane is freshly loaded. When starting the engine it naturally quits after a few seconds. It would be nice if there was oil in the engine right from the start. If you change aircraft to the Vans inflight you can run into big problems as described above. 2. The trim switch on the stick moves in the wrong direction when pitch trimming with the joystick. 3. As described in another thread the the VC switches are no more clickable. It worked on the first one or two flights only. Looking forward to an update of this nice little bird. Cheers Blizz12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyjb Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi Blizz12. I purchased the RV4 as well and can not start the engine…runs for about 10 seconds and quits. Has both oil and fuel and I follow the checklists. Spent hours trying to find the answer and attempting various starting scenarios. Have you solved this problem? I appreciate any help available….Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizz12 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 If I fill oil before starting it runs without problems. You have to open the service popup and click "fill oil". The red indication "0 qts" should change to green "7 qts". I found another little bug: When flying inverted the digital attitude indicator shows the wrong pitch unless it is 0.

Blizz12 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Anyone from Orbx able to say something about these issues? May we expect an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have asked on your behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hello, Unfortunately, the developer is no longer with Orbx. I don't think we have anyone with the necessary skills to fix these small faults. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizz12 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well, that´s a pity. At that price tag it really would be nice not to have the engine dying every time I start with a running engine. This aircraft is not Orbx quality. And having no support isn´t, too.

Nick Cooper Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 That's arguable. Would you start a real aircraft without checking the oil level and correcting it as necessary? I agree that no support is not acceptable and on your behalf, searched the forum for Vans RV-4. There are 252 results and adding a better definition such as engine will refine them more. I realise that this does require some input from you but must be better than the nothing you appear to think is the alternative. People do move on, sometimes they move on from this mortal coil, not in this case as far as I am aware, it is part of life and although we may not like it we must accept it.
