March 27, 20197 yr Commercial Member What page is that on and which specific manual? Remember not all models have Auto Start... it's an airline option. Ensure your model has autostart. B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
March 27, 20197 yr Author Hi! I cannot seem to find any settings in the fmc on the 748f about autostart, but I have been using it in the UPS Livery all the time. The instructions for engine start is on page 19 in the tutorial. Niklas Eriksson
March 27, 20197 yr Commercial Member Your model probably doesn't have autostart. I think there should be a button that says "autostart". Read this: B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord

In the 74 '-8' there is only Autostart. There is no manual start option actually. Brian Thibodeaux | B747-400/8, C-130 Flight Engineer, CFI, Type Rated: BE190, DC-9 (MD-80), B747-400 My Liveries
March 27, 20197 yr So if Autostart did not start the engine. [] ENG 1, 2, 3, 4 AUTOSTART Condition: Autostart did not start the engine. 1 FUEL CONTROL switch (affected engine) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CUTOFF2 Engine START switch (affected engine) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pull 3 Motor the engine for 30 seconds. 4 Engine START switch (affected engine) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Push 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
March 28, 20197 yr Author Just to clear out the misunderstanding... Autostart works, the problem is that FS2CREW automatically selects the "manual way" so the start procedure that fs2crew uses is not correct. I can of course start the engines using autostart and bypass the fs2crew start... Niklas Eriksson
March 28, 20197 yr Commercial Member Does your model have an Autostart button on the overhead? I think that's how FS2Crew is checking to see if auto start is available or not. B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
March 28, 20197 yr Author No that button does not exist on the 747-8. its the "pull switches" and then you just immediately turn the fuel controllers to run... and autostart is performed. Niklas Eriksson

This might need to be addressed then. There is no Autostart button on any -8. The aircraft was not designed todo manual starts at all.
