Kevin Glover 7 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi guys I'm having trouble starting the engines using the checklist. It may be linked to this: When the power had 'battery' selected, the FLCS Relay light is on, but the checklist says it shouldn't be.Are there any common mistakes which I may be making?Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 873 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The Electrical power switch have three positions:Off - Batt - PowerFrom the off position click twice to bring it to Power.Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelL 71 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 For me the control levers I have assinged to "mixture" and "prop/rpm" have to be in the max position. Otherwise the F16 won't start following the checklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Glover 7 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Ok, thanks guys. So I should leave the power switch in Power the whole time?Also, I'll try that Manuel.It couldn't be the bug where you have to go to another aircraft before this, and then come back to start the engines?Thanks very much, and Happy Thanksgiving!Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hello Kevin,You could try loading the default Cessna in first then try the Falcon to see if FSX needs the parameters resetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennc 0 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Kevin,If you have a cold and dark default flight configured for any piston driven airplane with the mixture at idle/cutoff, you have two choices. Either open the mixture in the default airplane before loading the F-16 or use whatever mixture control to set it to full rich in the F-16. You won't see anything happen that but it will open the fuel line.Hope that helps,GlennThank you Shaun, I'll give that a try. Happy Thanksgiving!Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Glover 7 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thank you guys Switching to the C172 and then putting the mixture to full rich did the trick.Thanks again,Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
