November 18, 20187 yr Hi Folks, Re: P3Dv4 OK - figured out how to run the APU - then start engines 2 and 3... For some reason the "Air - Ground - Motor - Selector" for engine 1 seems spring loaded and stuck in "air" - it depresses to other positions but springs back when released... Pressing the start button on the respective engine does nothing - I'm assuming because the selector is in "air"... Thanks... Regards, Scott Edited November 18, 20187 yr by scottb613

November 18, 20187 yr Commercial Member They are 3 way toggle switches. You need to left or right click depending on the direction. Not just left click. Just left click will go to air and that's it. All 3 way switches work this way in our projects.

Al Hi Folks, Yep - understand - the switches for engine 2 and engine 3 - work as just you stated - engine 1 goes down to "ground" or "motor" position when pressed - but bounces back to "air" half a second after I let go... Like it was a momentary switch in the RW... Restarted my sim to be sure... Same deal... I downloaded this version this afternoon... Thanks guys...

November 18, 20187 yr Author Hi Folks, Re: P3Dv4 OK - completely deleted the aircraft - downloaded the new version just a few minutes ago - installed same - the switch circled in RED will not move to any position other than "AIR"... I just loaded the aircraft for the first time and touched nothing... The two switches to the right - note they start in "GND" which is different than #1- operate normally... I can't start engine 1 without moving this switch... Is it me ? Regards, Scott Edited November 18, 20187 yr by scottb613

If you are uninstalling the a/c with the Programs and Features option in the Win10 Control Panel, after doing so go to where the F50 install was and make sure every folder has been removed. And if you have a program like Revo Uninstaller that does a more thorough uninstall that might be worth a try. Al

Al Hi Al, Actually - I just deleted the folder - let me try the full uninstall - then do the full install again - stuck registry issue ? To be clear - the switch moves - it's just spring loaded back to the position in which you see it - as soon as I release the mouse click... Thanks for your patience... Regards, Scott
November 18, 20187 yr 54 minutes ago, scottb613 said: Hi Folks, No joy... 😞 Regards, Scott Scott, Are you loading the Falcon directly from the initial startup screen in the sim, or loading a default aircraft first? I’ve had good results doing it both ways, but perhaps the Falcon is “inheriting” a switch position from a previously loaded aircraft? Just a thought...

I noted in one of your posts on another topic that you mentioned you have a lot of different game controllers connected to your FS system. I wonder if one of them is somehow interfering or interacting with the Falcon and causing that one switch to lock always in air start mode?

November 19, 20187 yr Author Hi Al/Jim, Thanks you both for your time and insights - I have it working now but I have no explanation as to how I fixed it... I use SimStarter - with different profiles to start the various programs I need - I've restarted the sim clean - by itself at least two dozen times - nothing... I've spent a ton of hours trying to solve this... Different locations - different aircraft - then it just started working - I now went back and started adding program by program back into the mix - thinking for sure I'd find the smoking gun that would cause the fault again - but nothing - they all started without issue... I can't explain it but I am happy it's fixed... I typically use: TrackIR Voice Attack (Voice Control) ASP4/ASCA ChasePlane Ultimate Traffic XMapsyV2 (connects iPad Garmin Pilot to P3D) Regards, Scott Edited November 19, 20187 yr by scottb613

PMDG support suggested that I not use SimStarter. I quit using it and the problem went away after re-installing the P3Dv4 Client.

November 19, 20187 yr Author Hi Bob, Maybe that was it - if so - first issue I'm aware of - hope it doesn't cause more issues as I don't know how I could go back to not using it... Thanks... Regards, Scott
