Great pics (again!). Some of those clouds look solid enough to land on! I also got Doug's "Old Gal" ... must take her out more often, if you know what I mean, laugh.gif.

Doug, I was going to PM you on this, but then thought your reply might help others ....

I noticed a very recently polished Argosy in my hangar and decided to see it it went any faster. For my sins, my default C-172 setup is "Cold and Dark" (I'm an inveterate button pusher!). Jumping into my Argosy, I can't see any way of starting her up. Yes, I did RTFM - it mentions a STARTER BUTTON but omits to tell you where it is - or even what it looks like. I expect it's round and red, but I've tried all them!

Admitting defeat, I tried CTRL-E, but that only started No.1 (for which the sounds are amazing, I have to add). I searched for a startup guide, but everything points me back to the manual.

Is this where you tell me you forgot to put the starter button in the panel? laugh.gif

H-E-L-P!

Marty , it is best to put the two simulation on seperate hard drives or you will end up with all sorts off problems .

OK for Adam and all you guys and gals who want to start up MY plane.gif wink.gif tongue.gif it takes a little bit of of playing around to get it right.
Make sure the engine fuel cutoff slides are all set to full open then in the overhead panel (shown below) you have the engine select switch select the engine you want to start No 4 engine is selected in the pic, the off start switch has 3 settings on it set it to start then press the Starter button it will stay in until the engine starts you may have to play around with the off start switch as it has the 3 settings can be a bit frustrating as the engines sometimes can take a little time to start.





Edit If you can't start it using the above try Ctrl+E+1 then Ctrl+E 2 then 3 then 4 the engines will start but there is a lag of up to about half a minute before they fire up you will also need to have about a quarter throttle on when starting up. and yes it does take a bit of fiddling time and patience to get them up and running you must remember that they are not new engines laugh.gif
