I appreciate your response. I understand that I have not included every step to starting the plane from cold and dark. As others are also doing, I am attempting to fly the tutorial and I cannot load the plane in the engines running state. I am not asking questions; simply making a request. If it cannot be filled that is fine. I understand the plane has a running state to fly the tutorial and I am unable to achieve it. That is all I am asking for at this point. Nothing else. Mike Marzett
