I got Air Hauler at a 50% discount recently. I like it but wouldn't pay full price for it. Badger

Hello,I bought the Citation a couple of days ago having tried the Mustang but found that to be a little slow when I tried to get from A to B quickly. I got quite frustrated with the Citation for a few hours to start with as I couldn't program the FMC and get the autopilot working properly :( . It was then that I thought it might be a good idea to read the manual :( and the Citation is now very quickly becoming my favourite aircraft to fly (and I also own the PMDG JS41 which is great). I've even progressed to starting from cold and dark which I always believes adds realism to a flight.I love the plane now and can't wait for the new 3D panel to be released (as the current one isn't as good as it might be and Eaglesoft are clearly improving it) as that looks absolutely fantastic.While I'm here, does anyone know if there are hotspots to the various 2D panels from the VC? I couldn't find it in the manual but may well have missed it.Cheers and well done Eaglesoft on an excellent aircraft. :( Badger

HelloI just started to get this problem today too. I've tried restarting FSX but it keep happening while in VC view.Badger PS I've just noticed that 'Windows Update' updated my GTX285 driver over the weekend to 8.16.11.9107 so I wonder if this is as a result of that? I can't find anything else that's changed that may be causing this. Is anyone else with this problem using this driver?

Well I uninstalled the J41, reinstalled it went through the normal process and it started like a dream. Just completed my first FSPassengers flight with it and all the passengers were happy :( :( Don't know why it wouldn't start before but I've now got a saved flight with everything started and ready to taxi (just in case it happens again) and another flight after it's been shutdown completely, ready for a fresh start next time round. :( Fingers crossed for next time.BadgerPS: I too had followed the start up instructions to the letter and had them engrained in my brain but I couldn't start the second engine (whichever one I started first, the other wouldn't start) until I uninstalled and started again. Latest update. Loaded up FSX and tried to start a new flight but the same old problem arose. It seems like the props are feathering again after I have started one engine so what I've done is leave the throttle in full reverse whilst I've started each engine and when the first engine has stabilised I put that one back to the neutral position (the other one stays in full reverse). I then start the other engine and when that's stabilised, press F1 and away we go. Seems to work for me and avoids the apparent refeathering after starting one engine. I don't know if this will help anyone but thought I'd explain how I got around this in case anyone else has this problem.

Hi This doesn't just happen in the tutorial, it happens in all flights.Everything has been done by the book which is why I can't understand why one engine starts OK but not the other. I've unfeathered both props etc.Badger

I seem to have a similar problem. I managed a couple of flights over the last few days but whenever I try and start now, I can get one engine going and the props turn OK, but whilst that one's starting up, the other prop starts to turn slowly (I don't know if that's normal as I only noticed it once the problems started) and when I try to start that second engine, either I don't get enough RPM to get it started or it blows. It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't get both engines up and running now. I follow the start procedure every time but to no avail and every time I can start one engine but not the other.Whenever I load the J41, I hear the sound of engines stopping and a couple of clicking sounds (which is odd) but everything visually is as it should be.I spent about 7 hours trying to get to the bottom of this now but I can't seem to get both engines started.Any ideas would be very much appreciated.CheersBadger
