View Full Version : Starting Prop Engines in FS2002


August 30th 04, 04:52 AM
Hi,
I know this should be easy, but it's proven not to be.
The jet aircraft have 'auto start' and the engines crank up in sequence
just fine.
Props are becoming problematic. What is the sequence for starting to
Beechcraft or Baron props? Is there an 'auto start' command?
Thanks,
Honus

I know for a couple of the planes you can't "HOLD" the switch/dial in the
start position, and instead have to keep clicking to the start position to
get it to go. I know that the KingAir has this issue. Think the Baron may
be the other. Don't remember the exact starting sequence. CTRL E will get
an autostart. HOWEVER if you fail a manual start due to something that is
not in the normal start procedure, the computer will not be able to start it
either!!!!!

King Air DOES NOT have the issue, at least on my installation. I manually
start it every time, one engine at a time, and clicking on the starter, it
stays in the start position until I release the mouse button.

Manual start sequence is in the check list.

Only aircraft I fly, works just fine.
