Hi @Blasb No I have not tried Simuflys CIVA. As far as I know it is for p3dv4. I tried also integrating panels and gauges but there are some ascii dll and gau files that I think have to be adapted too...Please let us know if you succeed with that! Good luck!

Hi @sloppysmusic There is a decent manual including checklist. There is a jetliner and a professional version. We are dealing here with the professional version. Jetliner works as far as know pretty well in p3dv5 I am happy if someone succeeds starting it up in p3dv4 or p3dv5. Good luck!

yes indeed. In the meantime I think i will stay with the jetliner in p3dv5. It is a good comprimise as the startup works and the rest is ok despite being less advanced as the professional one. The thing I like the less in the jetliner is the flightplaner, if you want to use nav mode you have to load the fligthplan at the beginning. There is no INS or similar device....but I can live with that...It would be better the professional one in p3dv5 but it has too many issues: startup not working, flight works in principle ok but when I inserted a flight plan in INS i have some CTDs....All in all is in my case less stable than the jetliner

I have tried many things but it does not work...I have the impression the startup of the VC-10Prof is not working in p3dv5. I have the impression that something small is missing. Does anyone know how to change the startup procedure in p3dv5, is it possible to change it?

Hi If there is someone reading this having experience piloting or at least with the startup procedure in VC-10 I can suggest that we connect online via Teamviewer or a similar tool and go through the whole procedure. That should not take so long. Please let me know. Objective is to determine if JF VC-10Prof in p3dv4 or p3dv5 can be started from cold and dark following standard startup procedure.

Hi I agree, I hope that @adam77 will read this thread and could make a short video about the essential (I dont think we care at this stage much about no smoking signs and lights, etc.) steps for starting up the engines from cold and dark in JF VC-10Prof for p3dv5. In the video on the top by Adam I am not completely sure if I missed a step in the whole video duration. I am still checking it.

Hi @Blasb and thanks for the interesting exchange. Well, as far as I understood in @adam77 video, he did not set any fuel in engine 1 and 4 and that was the reason that these engines 1 and 4 did not start. We should ask him, but I think he put in these words as I said.

Hi @Blasb and many thanks for your post. Well, that is what I would like to know. As far as I know Adam @adam77 is using the VC-10 professional version in p3dv5.4 and he succeeded starting up the aircraft. I tried in p3dv5.4 with the professional version and could not start it up from cold and dark. I would like to know what I am doing wrong and that is the reason of my post. I tried also in p3dv4 with no success. I could, however started up the jetliner version. Have you tried the professional version in p3dv5 or in p3dv4? My question is about the professional version.

Hello what a beautiful bird the VC-10. I have recently seen here in a nice video that VC-10 Professional by Just Flight can be used in p3dv5! Adam thanks for that! It was well known that the VC-10 Jetliner by Just Flight in p3dv5 works. In fact, I could install the professional version (using the installer by simmarket) and it seems that it works in p3dv5.4. However, I have had some issues with the startup procedure from cold and dark. Control+E works pretty well. To start up from cold and dark I followed the example in the manual, also the checklist in the manual and finally the detailled description in the video but the engines did not spool. It is probably that I am doing something wrong but I wonder if someone with more proficiency than me will succeed to make it run. I dont think that it is an issue with p3dv5 as I could not start it either in p3dv4. I could start the JF VC-10 jetliner version but not the professional one. If you succeeded starting up the VC-10Prof in p3dv4 or p3dv5, would you mind writing down the main needed steps in a form of a kind of check list (I dont mind lights and stairs and so on...) for engines to start? THX!
