October 29, 201510 yr Milton Shupe's new Lockheed Lodestar is a beautiful freeware aircraft. I have so far been unable to start the engines using the default Ctrl+E keystrokes unless I load another running aircraft and then reselect the Lodestar to replace it. Perhaps this aircraft was modeled with a more detailed starting procedure, but if so, that procedure is not described in the documentation. A search for discussion on this problem found nothing. Other that that detail, the aircraft flys beautifully. Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?
October 29, 201510 yr Author Answered my own question. This aircraft requires a full procedure start; with manual priming and application of the starter; rather than a simple keyboard shortcut. That's cool.
October 29, 201510 yr Glad you figured it out! And happy to see such a realistic requirement in the model!

November 7, 201510 yr I am just starting to learn how to fly this plane, another great contribution from Milton Shupe. So far, all is well, but I am having trim issues. I cannot easily get straight and level flight or what would be considered normal climb and descent even when trim wheel is adjusted for 0. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks. Sherm
