A few questions
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:04 pm
Just bought this challenging bird a few weeks ago, a few tech questions:
- Like a prior poster, I cannot engage in mid-air refueling. My symptoms are the same as his. Any hope of getting this up and running?
- I cannot start the engines using the procedure in the manual. The engines spool up to about 12.5% RPM, then stay there. On the throttle pop-up panel, starter switch ToolTip tex constantly oscillates between On and Off. I am forced to Ctrl-E to get the engine to start. The only anomaly in the procedure I can see is that the fuel cutoff switches do not move when I click them - however, the ToolTip text does change from "cut" to "open."
On the right side console, there is a clickable switch with a ToolTip of "Turn on/off peripheral vision device." When I click it, a thin horizontal red line appears midway throughout the pilot's field of view, but I can't see this has any effect on vision. Can you tell me what this switch is for?
EDIT: My mistake, I should have posted this in the FSX forum, not FS9
