  1. Just bought the P38L and I have upgraded today to the new version. Attempting to use the checklist to manually start the engines and when I try to use the "Engage" and "Start" switches for the motors, no matter how I try I can't get the engines to turn over. I haven't seen on the forum where anyone else has had this problem so I guess I'm missing something. The checklist has you "Energize" the engine and then "Engage the Starter". Semantics aside, the switch on the right is labeled "Engage" while the switch on the left is labeled "Starter", so this sentence doesn't make sense to me. However, I clicked the "Engage" switch up to the LH engine and a whining noise starts, then I try to click the "Starter" switch on the left up to the LH engine position, but nothing happens. I just hear the whining noise crescendo and then fade and then crescendo again and fade. I can't turn this off so I'm forced to exit out of the game and start the flight over. Now I can use the Ctrl E gimmick to start the engines but that kind of defeats the purpose. One other thing I've done is bind a key on my throttle to the Starter 1 and Starter 2 commands in the controller section. This works, when I hit the switch on my throttle, then the engine will energize and start. So I am confused obviously and hope someone in the know can correct me and give me guidance. Help is very appreciated.
