I was wondering if there’s an issue with the engine start commands for the FSLabs A320 in P3Dv5.3. When I issue the mode select command it works well. Then when I issue either engine 1 or engine 2 commands I get a verbal statement telling me Engine 1 on when it isn’t and MCE doesn’t start either engine. Is this something I’m doing incorrect or is MCE confused ding the engine data as on and therefore nothing happens? I should note I’ve tried this many times in many launches of P3D and many launches of MCE within P3D and never get it to work.

Thanks in advance

To check whether the issue is reading data, in MCE UI go to the <Sim> tab.

With FSL plane loaded, engines not running, it should state "on ground, no engine running"

Within 10 second of the first engine start, you should see it display at least one engine running.

Which verbal commands are you using?

Be aware, to prevent accidental starts, the first request to start the first engine will require confirmation. Only when you agree, will the FO start it. The other engine should be started straight away as FO already knows you are starting them.

If I didn't get it, please elaborate further. Thanks

 

Thanks for the detailed response I will try your suggestions when I get to my flight sim computer a bit later.

Wasn’t aware of that, I’m still learning MCE.

Thanks that did it
