Pateotana1512 31 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Try to re-enter the cold and dark setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Reverse 344 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 As for the checklist, what you see grayed out, is always grayed out until this part gets active. You only Start the checklist, the rest is almoust automatic As for Cold and Dark, thats strange. What happens if you select Cold and Dark in your right MCDU and select the Push Button to make it your standard start situation. Than close FSX and start again, selecting the Airbus?

hamishgw 0 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 unfortunately I cant correctly load the cold and dark state, all that happens is the gear goes up and the displays stay on. Is there a special way you have to load in COLD AND DARK MODE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 23, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 23, 2013 Describe EXACTLY the steps how you start your FSX and how you start/load your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamishgw 0 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I start the default C172 and the desired airport, then I load the airbus. When it is loaded all the displays are off but the engines are on and the clock is on. I go the the right MCDU and select COLD AND DARK MODE Then nothing happens.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 23, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 23, 2013 When you start your FSX, do you start it in the free flight mode and how does it look like? Best would be a screenshot. (before loading a flight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamishgw 0 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yep here is a screenshot of how i start my FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 23, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 23, 2013 Ok, so this is your default flight. In what state exactly is the C172 when you load this flight (airport, date/time, weather is not relevant)? Would like to see a screenshot of your C172 after loading, with all switches visible, best shown with the 2D panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
