DC-8-63 Starter switches P3D V4 Printed From: Just Flight Forum Category: Just Flight Products Forum Name: DC-8 Jetliner Series 10 through 70 Forum Description: Discussion area for the Just Flight DC-8 URL: http://forum.justflight.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=32047 Printed Date: 27 Apr 2024 at 1:20pm Topic: DC-8-63 Starter switches P3D V4 Posted By: aspen31 Subject: DC-8-63 Starter switches P3D V4 Date Posted: 16 Jan 2018 at 4:20pm P3D V4 DC-8-63F  Starter Switches Hi all New to P3D V4 but more time with the DC-8 50 - 70 series. On my installation of the most recent DC-8-63 the starter switches highlight but don't initiate a start. I had a previous problem in P3D V3.4 where the starters would work but only if No 1 was started first. Different problem this time. Wondering if I'm having finger trouble or if anyone else has experienced this issue. Thanks Warren Replies: Posted By: Blaunarwal Date Posted: 20 Jan 2018 at 11:33am Make sure you have rotated the "Starter and Ignition Arm knob" to the right and then switched the "Ignition Override Switch" also beeing on the right of the engine starter switches. Posted By: aspen31 Date Posted: 20 Jan 2018 at 12:50pm Hi Yes I am familiar with the ignition requirement but regardless having these switches selected I can't get any engine to spool. If I use Control + E to start and then go back to a manual start everything seems to work correctly. Thanks Warren Posted By: aspen31 Date Posted: 08 Apr 2018 at 11:47am Further to my comments from a while back. I'm flying the DC-8-63CF for the most part. In terms of a manual start if I select engine one first and complete a start then I can start the remaining engines in any order I wish. If I select any other engine first the nothing happens - no spool up at all. I'm using P3D V4.2. Just for the record. Thanks Warren
