July 27, 200322 yr Guys,Could anyone pls post a simple click by click list on getting the engines started?? I've saved a cold&dark (avionics on)but I can't get the engines to start. I use the following sequence:Cut-off levers on throttle to OFF(down) (should be there I think)Batterie on.. Apu startAfter APU on apu-gens on apu-bleed on fuelpumps on.Engine electrical 1+2 onEmergency light arm, Anti-collision onYaw damper onStarter switches to grd and bothEngine 1 starts to spool up and that's it.... again and again and again....Moving the Cut-off levers up or down doesn't seem to make a difference. Up or down, engine always starts to spool up but never reaches a "run" stateI must be missing something , but where???Tnx guysWillemP.S. I've tried with external power on and off....
July 27, 200322 yr Commercial Member Willem,When you put the fuel to it (during the start) try the following. Have the overhead panel up and then pull up the throttle pedestal in front of it. When you select the cut-off switches to on, see if the Fuel Valve lights cycle and go off. If not there is a problem with the saved state and you may want to drop a note to [email protected] describing the problem. Make sure your Cold and Dark was saved from the PMDG 737 and not from another A/C as this has caused some problems.RegardsPaul GollnickTechnical Operations/Customer Operational SupportPrecision Manuals Development Group[www.precisionmanuals.com] Paul Gollnick Manager Customer/Technical Support Precision Manuals Development Group www.precisionmanuals.com

July 28, 200322 yr Author Paul,I think I had a problem with the situation. Made a new one starting from the default fs2002 737. After shutting it down I switched to the PMDGversion , flipped the cut-off switches down and then saved.Now it works, still don't know what went wrong on the first one though, the only difference being that the first one was saved from the PMDG after I had made the default chessna c&d.Ah well, everything running great nowTnxWillem
