After fighting FS2004/FS9 for over a month I've finally gotten it to work (required a complete reinstall and lots of other PC stuff). Now, I can't get the start switches to turn left (to start the engines); i.e., I can't start the darned thing! The switches turn to the right but not to the left. x( I'm using the same procedures that I did in FS2002 and I have the service update 1.1.Help please!

Two possible causes:(a) Your engines are already running due to the wonders of Microsoft Flight Simulator ;) Bring up your throttle panel and move the fuel cutoff valves to the down position to shut them off.(:( FS is confused and thinks you are already in the air hence ground start is disabled (move the starter to clicks to the right for in-flight restarts)Odds are (a)Ray

Ray, Darn. Those engines are so quiet.... :-shy Oops. I brought up the throttle quadrant and shut them off. Geez......... It's been one of those days. On the good side, Missouri beat Illinois 22-15 today! :-jumpy
