March 25, 201412 yr I have a quick question. I just started using fs2crew and starting up cold and dark 737. I start everything up and go through the checklists, but I can't get my radar to pop up. It says "map" in yellow in the center and does not show my heading or course heading for autopilot. Also I set up the FMC and that also does not show up when I plug in my route for my flight. Any help would be great. Thank you.
March 25, 201412 yr Did you turn on and align the IRS? As captain and PF thats your job. // Lasse Kronborg
March 25, 201412 yr Author Yes I did, set both switches to nav, i waited about 15 minutes because it does take around 4-5min in a real 737.
March 26, 201412 yr take around 4-5min in a real 737 It takes 10. Thoriq Kamaruszaman, Potato Flier READ THE MANUALS.
March 26, 201412 yr It takes 10. That depends where you are. Further north means more time to align. But at 15 min it should be aligned anywhere. Does align light up when you align? Is the irs transfer not in normal? Are you fully connected to an electric source such as APU or ground connection? I have created my own initial start up state. I have heard about problems with the default cold and dark state. // Lasse Kronborg

I always fly from the equator so it takes around 9-11 mins :lol: I've never heard of 5 before or seen it anywhere in the documentation though :huh: I have heard about problems with the default cold and dark state. I rarely use the C&D state. Hm :h0120: Thoriq Kamaruszaman, Potato Flier READ THE MANUALS.

March 27, 201412 yr Speaking of cockpit panel states, what is the best and most realistic state to use for startup at the gate? David J.

March 27, 201412 yr short or long, depending on the airline and whether you are changing planes with another crew or starting a new day. C&D, despite the love it gets from the simcrowd, is only really proper when flying out from an overnight at an outstation. --Peter Fabian
