I've had this acft for a few weeks and still can NOT figgure out just the simple steps to get the engines started. I do get them started after 5 to 15 minutes of keying in every "key set" that I can. The engines finally start, but then I can NOT figgure just what I did to get them started. Could someone PLEASE list the keystrokes used to get the engines started? I don't think it is supposed to be this hard. Thanks. jerrycwo4

Hi,Try this checklist, it's in the AVSIM File Area: lds767300er_checklist_update.zip

Thanks Michael and Brent.... Spent about 3 (more) hours and now I can start engines every time. I still do not know a "pac" from a banjo and a bleed-air switch from a coke machine, but "monkey see, monkey do" I get them started. I take so long doing so, the battery becomes discharged but I learned how to establish external power, then I can study the switches as long as I need. Even with the "book", I'm not sure just what switch is the "bleed air" switch, but the engines start so I must be "clicking" the correct switches. The above noted "check list" looks real good and I'm sure it wil be a great help. One last thing... could someone send me a "panal cfg" of a COLD AND DARK panal so I can learn to start from the begainning? Send to : [email protected], Thanks for the help

Maybe you should try a less complex aircraft like the default 737 until you have the pateience to read and follow the manuals and tutorials.

Go to the setup menu, then "import panel state," then "import" the "cold and dark at seattle" file. If you want, you can then save this setup as your LDS "cold and dark flight".BTW, it's all explained in the manual.ricardo

Dont worrey. I have the SSW a310 and am having fun pressing all the buttons. They gotta do something...right :-)It took me a while to get the APU started but then i released i had incorrect fuel config..ah well :D

I HAVE been reading the books, but it sure helps to be able to start the engines BEFORE you try to make a flight. I have also purchased two other books on the B767-300 by Mike Ray, but I just got them. Hey, give me a break, huh? I've been flying and starting the engines in Flight Sims from FS1998, 95% by using "Ctrl/E". It takes some time to try and learn this new stuff. jerrycwo4

It takes a whole lot longer if you try and do it without following the manuals! ;-)Allcott

I'll always be grateful to Eric Ernst for his groundbreaking 767 v7 panel for fs98. It was the first time I understood the electrical, pneumatic and fuel systems needed to start a jet engine.Those principles have aided me with every other complex jet panel I've used since - the principles are the same if not the execution. Once you understand the principles no panel can stump you for long.regards,Markhttp://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/mar.../sup_banner.jpghttp://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/markrey/lsd2.jpgXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1GIG/X700pro256p.s. - or just get an autostarting Airbus or 777 :)

To be honest...Read the manual thouroughly and follow the ckecklist EXACTLY!Don't skip any steps!It took me a while to get everything up and running on this aircraft, but after I figured it out, it was very rewarding. I can now get everything up and running in a reasonable amount of time.This is no different from operating a real aircraft in the real flight world.That is why I really like these type of aircraft including the DF727, Aeroworx King Air, and Level D 767. They actually simulate real world aircraft systems pretty acurately.If you don't like to spend alot of prep time and planning time, then you might consider not using more complex aircraft like the Level D 767. But if you are into making a flight simulation as real as possible, then the Level D 767 is the way to go.ScottATP/CFII/DA20 Type Rated - Instructor Pilot - USAFA (KAFF), Colorado Springs, CO & at KCOSAOPA #00956593, since 1987Background in Corporate, Airline, and General AviationB.S.
