March 10, 201214 yr First off I want to say that I own almost all of your products, and this one is by far the best. You really "hit it out of the park" with this version Bryan.I have made a few flights, and I noticed an issue with the engine start levers. Even though the levers are in the correct position (cutoff), when I run the preflight checklist and respond that the levers are in cutoff the FO always says "Are you sure?" I always start with the NGX Short Panel State and the engine start levers are always in cutoff for that panel state.That's the only thing I have seen so far. Thanks for an excellent addition to the PMDG 737 NGX!!

March 10, 201214 yr Author Thanks Damien. No, I dont have anything assigned to these. I will try a cold & dark panel state on my next flight and see if I can reproduce it.

March 10, 201214 yr Author If I cycle the start levers prior to running the checklist that solves it.

March 10, 201214 yr Commercial Member If I cycle the start levers prior to running the checklist that solves it.That's strange... can you explain it? Are you using saved situation files or anything? B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
March 11, 201214 yr Hi,Love this product. Its my third fs2crew.I also had this come up. Also my co pilot does not want to start the engines. For some reason he keeps saying not correct config so I manually start. I don't understand. I will keep trying and see what happens!Regards Brent Lewis
March 11, 201214 yr Commercial Member Brent,Are you using a saved situation files?When you load FSX, is the NGX the default aircraft or is it the trike?FO should start the engines if the conditions are met.He'll say "not configured for engine start" if there is insufficient air pressure to start the engines.So check that you have enough air pressure.Cheers, B.

March 11, 201214 yr OMG Brian 3 minute response!I load the NGX SHORT in the FMX so everything is ready to go.Yeah, I just load the 737 first in fsx. I will try loading the trike then change. Will update a little later. Brent Lewis

I will try loading the trike then change. Will update a little later.Okay, let me know.My current theory is that if the NGX is the 'default' aircraft, it's not initializing properly when you load it, causing weirdness down the line.I'm pretty sure PMDG actually recommends against making the NGX the default aircraft.Use the trike as the default aircraft.Let me know.

March 11, 201214 yr I have the same problem. It is present when starting with Cessna 172 and switching over to NGX. I'm using panel state cold and dark. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
March 11, 201214 yr Commercial Member Are you guys using external hardware?One beta tester with external hardware had the same issue... he said this:"Sorry, forgot to mention the calls are correct and as long as I check the start levers on my throttle in the preflight, i.e., cycle them thru Idle and cutoff at least once, no further problems."
