September 9, 200916 yr I watched the video, scanned the manuals, and read "downscc" excellent post here http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=259267 on how to start the PMDG JS41 engines. Again, this email is in 3rd grade English as I am not a writer or a pilot but here goes... Just follow the start procedures you have been laboring thru to start the engines THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the startup procedure IMO is to hit the feather button on the middle console prior to hitting the start engine buttons. The feather button pivot's the propellers, you want the propellers in the straight...or 90 degrees to the engine at startup (the second picture in the email I pasted above) -- apparantly this is needed so the engines don't overheat and reduces stress on the engines startup....again, if you want the technical reason see the post I pasted above. Follow that and you wont be roasting weenies on the JS41 engines anymore!!! Please see my next 3rd Grade English post regarding the lack of 2D panels on this amazing, again...amazing airplane.
