April 4, 20242 yr Great shots PM 🙂, this plane is really a showpiece. Is there an autostart option or do you have to go through the startup procedure for the 4 engines every time?

Is there an autostart option or do you have to go through the startup procedure for the 4 engines every time? Hello Andreas, With the DC-6, you can choose to fly with an AFE (I think it stands for artificial Flight Engineer)...the AFE can take care of much of the pre-start/start-up. (If I recall correctly, you still have to switch the fuel levers and magnetos before the AFE can do his thing.) One of the joys of this aircraft is learning to manage those 4 radials without the AFE...and making sure to extend engine life as long as possible. Following the correct start-up procedure is part of the thrill of this aircraft. 🙂 Â

On the EFB ( i belive first page, if not look on the other pages ) you have three saved panel states you can choose to load - so no, you have not go always through the whole startup procedure.. cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online :  ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage  HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.

So for me an option for an autostart is mandatory, otherwise it's a bad addon for me. And the task to extend lifetime of the engines/plane over time is not for me at all. A2A did this since long time, does not interest me at all, I have too much aircraft.
