Rich H 0 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I just bought the DHC-6 through the in-game Marketplace on 3/31. Yesterday I loaded it in the sim and was unable to get the engines to start from cold condition on the ramp. I get past the gg>=12% and then I push the fuel level forward, but the engine does not ignite, it just stays on starter motor. gg does go up to something like 40, but no farther. If I then set starter switch back to center, the engine just spools down to stop. This happens with both engines. I followed the checklist exactly, and also followed along with the manual start process in a video review (Jan 6th review by "Into the Blue Simulations", after Update 1). Fuel gauges read max. I also confirmed that my joystick's throttle setting was in synch, and used the keystroke to assert rich mixture (there are no mixture controls, yes? I see none). The aircraft does start just fine using Ctrl+E, but I note that switches do not follow whatever Ctrl+E is doing as it's starting the engines. (e.g. I watched and did not see the starter switch go to Right or Left when the engines were starting, in case this is relevant). What am I missing? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich H 0 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Okay, I can get engines started on this thing now. NO CHANGES to my checklist procedures, just something happened in the sim between saving and reloading .FLT and .PLN files after I initially saved a .FLT having started on the runway with engines on, and then followed shutdown checklist. grr...

Ha_Ma 195 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Loading a .flt can always bring you "surprises", no matter what plane you use. This is an issue in the Sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
