Unable to start engine

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

After installing version 1,8, i'm unable to start engine. Battery lights don't turn on when i turn battery switches on. I use same starting procedure that i used with previous version (without any problem) but now nothing. Any idea? Thanks.

Try first loading a default aircraft with the engines running, and then switch to the Falcon. If you are using P3dv4 I would suggest using the F-35 as your start up aircraft.

If that doesn't help, I would next try uninstalling and reinstalling the Falcon.

I just installed the plane from a new purchase and have this issue.  My default P3D v4 flight is the Mooney retro with everything running.  I turned all the switches off (to Cold n dark), then loaded the Falcon...  everything is cold and dark.  I've followed the manual for a engine start with GPU and nothing happens when I hold the starter down.

If you are not seeing any movement on the N2 gauges after the starter buttons are pushed, check if you have the C and D buses connected -- left and right rotary switches vertical. They need to be connected to the A and B buses to power the N2 gauges.

Looks like having the C and D buses connected needs to be added to the start instructions in the manual.
