Hello Kabbe,Did you follow the tutorial exactly to the letter?Is the APU on?Is the APU bleed on?When you command the FO to start engine 1 or 2, is he moving the start switches like he should?Are you moving the fuel switches to idle at 20 percent N2?Hope that offers a clue.Cheers,Bryan

The APU is on the APU bleed is on, The fuelswitches to idle i dont know, i dont think the engines goes up to 20percent if its that you mean. But i will make it a try =)THANKS /Jacob

Hello Jacob,Yes, make sure the fuel pumps are on.When N2 hits about 20%, open the throttle pedestal and move the fuel levers to idle. The location of the fuel levers is documented in the PMDG manuals.I think that's what you're missing.Cheers,Bryan

Hello again!After I sent the last reply I tried again and got them running I made a flight but I couldnt switch to the approach briefing checklist... :SAnd the second problem wich is a HUGE problem is that i couldnt stear the stabilizer only the rudder and aileron so i landed ILS on trim and engines and a pretty big luck LOL :D....Whats the problemo now? =)Thanks! /Jacob

Hello Jacob,You probably didn't brief for the depature properly or hit the right buttons during takeoff, which is why you couldn't get past the takeoff page.I suggest doing a search in this forum using the term 'takeoff'. You'll find many threads that include precise instructions of what needs to be done.Cheers,Bryan
