Questions about Cold/Dark state

[RichieFly]

The Falcon is really nice.

I have an issue which I hope someone can point out what I'm doing wrong here.

When I select the 'All Systems Off' and proceed with a startup, the N2 gauges don't move. Also, the 'FUELING' light remains lit.

However, selecting 'Ready to Start' and these issues don't occur.

One final thing: on the overhead, how do you know if a switch is on or off? There's no indication on some and no tooltip either.

Thanks for reading.

If you open the knee-board and follow the check list you will find "C & D buses tied" under before starting engines. One of these buses powers the #2 and #3 engines gauges. So that is why you do not see them work.

All the overhead 2-way toggle switches work in the same direction. On is toward the aft.

Thanks for the info. Nice aircraft.
