Engine problems

Featured Replies

Hi,Im relatively new to flight sims and have just bought a copy of the PMDG 737-600/700 add on for fs2002 and for me it is very complicated.my problem is i cant start the right engine (i.e when i look at the right side engine its not spinning like it should) but the right engine starts up fine.im doing everything the manual tells me to and in the right order.Can somebody lend me their assistance with this one please cos im really bemused.I also dont understand this part in the manual where it says....In the Throttle-Panel "Observe the RPM. At 20% N2 open up the Cutoff-Lever for the right engine."Please can someone tell me how i would find this cutoff lever,Now im guessing this lever is on the throttle window but i cant find it.Wow this sure will be fun if i get used to it.Cheers,Chris

The fuel cut-off levers are just below each throttle. Click them to the up position "open" them.

yep, done but still doesnt make any difference.

Make sure you have the crossfeed valve for the bleed air system open so it pressurizes both the left (the side with the APU) and the right side of the pneumatic system. The engine won't start if it doesn't get any air.
