Hi

I think that before you switch anything else on in a cold cockpit you can free the prop control by using the red fuel control first, then move the prop control to the desired position, then swtich on master, electrics and then ignition and starts - it worked for me!! :jump:

Darn, not working for me. Can't get the prop/condition lever to move further aft into feather or fuel cutoff, even with the feather command mapped to a key. I dunno. :isadizzy: Maybe a way to do it with FSUIPC, but I'm not smart enough to see how.

cheers,
steve :wavey:

Its strange - first flight i get great FPS - better than many addons but if I try a second flight I get a slide show and have to jump back to a carenado aircraft to get the FPS back - but if I go back to the Mentor the FPS is crap. The only solution has been to re start FSX.

ME too First flight Great FPS (20+) change planes and come back to this one in the single digits

Thats odd:kilroy::isadizzy:
 
Inverter selector panel

Per 5.10.3 of the manual, the switch underneath the master battery switch is a 3 position switch. Up is no.1 generator the middle is inverters off and down is Gen # 2

For me the switch is a two position switch only and when it is used both it and the Generator switch to the right activate. Clicking the gen switch also moves both switches.

Anyone else having them operate this way or is this correct?

Hi Steve :wavey:

I have found that if you don't switch on the auto inigition then the prop control does not move and can be controlled - does that work for you?

Hehehe, I wish you hadn't tried that, because I'm finding other issues with it now. :redf:

Hopefully Frank will be around and look at this. Right now for me if I have the battery on and hit Auto Ignition on, the engine spools up and starts, even though the starter is off and the fuel control handle is off. Can't shut the engine down in this situation unless I pull the emergency yellow fuel cutoff handle to the left of the seat. So, Auto ignition on, fuel off, starter off and it starts up. Still haven't found a way to pull the prop lever into feather or to fuel cutoff.

And like Tom posted, there's something going on with the inverter switch as it seems tied to the generator switch and it should be selectable to inverter one or inverter two. I'm wondering here, as the supplied manual seems to call the inverters "generators" in the supplied manual and that's just not what they are for. :confused:

I also don't intend to be coming off negative on this plane, either. It's flat out beautiful, flies really well, and is really immersive for me. It's just that it's so close to being one of the really really good ones that I hope this stuff can get fixed to let it operate more realistically, particularly in the start sequence. :ernae::ernae:

cheers,

Started engine... it would not drop in power no matter what I did, had the parking bark set... park braked down the run way till the tire went boom:costumes:

So I took off:isadizzy:

ya know when I heard the boom sound I figured the engine...not the tires
 
Well I've bought it and waiting for it to download..

Looking forward to trying her out...quite a few new innovations by the looks of it.. :)

Yes - its such a great product. Im sure we are not coming accross negative - its because we love it we care :redf::jump:

Here is an edited shot
 
I got Boomed Tires when I did a pretty good landing then tried reverse thrust using the F keys. I don't even know if the 34C has it, haven't read the whole book yet, but as soon as I hit F2, BOOOOOMMMMM. :costumes: :banghead:. Then the only way to stop it was kill the engine.
