Flight 1 Cessna Mustang Engine Start Problem

Featured Replies

Hello

 
A desperate call out to anyone who flies the Flight 1 Cessna Mustang. I have posted this on their forum, but sadly without response.
 
I purchased the Flight 1 Cessna Mustang, installed it on my FSX SP2 Win7 system, loaded the default FSX Trike flight at Friday Harbor with engine off, using the Alt>Aircraft dropdown, switched to the Mustang  (which loads the Mustang at Friday Harbor with the battery and avionics on) and attempted to start the engines.
 
They run up to the point where the start-up tone should change, the gauges show 20.1 N1 and then the audio restarts the start-up sounds again from scratch and this recycles over and over. The striped pattern in the Engine start switched never goes away.
 
The L & R Generators are on, Battery is On, Avionics ON, Ignition in Normal, throttles in Idle
 
I have re installed the software again but this seems to make no difference.
 
What am I doing wrong please?
 
Thanks in anticipation for any kind advice
 
Best wishes
 
Andrew

At that point, you have to introduce fuel. The fuel shutoff is integrated into the thrust levers. You have to click them (clickspot is a bit hard to find) to do this!

Hi Mik

 

Thanks for responding. That's a distinct possibility.

 

Any advice as to how best to find the 'click' spot? I have a Saitek throttle quadrant which probably doesn't help as there is no click motion feedback, no audible click and my EZCA view of the throttles is from above so the handles obscure any markings beneath. I could change that but what would you advise please?

 

If I try to slide the throttles forward on screen with the mouse, they seem to immediately slide back  and wont stay where I leave them?

 

Andrew

close the throttles full by clicking on the area of the centre console directly below each throttle lever....

press start button... wait untill required %RPM and introduce fuel by moving relevant throttle lever forward

... should fire up
