I know that many of us "non-pilots" start the PMDG engines solely by chance, in that we click around some of the switches on the overhead until the engines "catch" and finally start. Is there a step by step checklist of which switch to hit in what order, so that the engines start properly?Forgive me for not having alot of time to spend reading the entire manual.Thanks very much.

Kevin,Read the manual. In the time it took you to log-in, write and post that message, you could have read the ten-odd lines in the manual that explains how to do it.I'm not much of a manual reader myself, but I'll certainly look for solutions myself before posting messages asking for "help"....When done with that, move on to FMC. Then I know there'll be someone else in the world pulling their hair out too!CheersTim

Also Fred Clausen's tutorial is a great way to start flying the 737NG, highly recommended.Get it from the download section of the PMDG website, under documentation.cheers, Nick
