That's the kind of things that the aircraft designers are interested in, especially for military aircraft. Look at those advanced fly-by-wire of the f-22 or the eurofighter, ironically, to fly those modern planes is similar to fly in an early 90's flight simulator.

Anyway, I agree with you, I just wanted to point that out. Although the ergonomics of a mouse over a VC is very poor compared to the real thing (your hands over the buttons, switches and levers).

CNTRL E is for noobs, pity FSX doesn't have a feature to prevent cntrl E in MP.

Can someone please post pictures with a couple of labels indicating where are the switches that need to be operated to do manual start-up? Perhaps the manual start-up sequence also?  8)
Thanks

wb5okj:
First switch the battery and both alternator switches on. Turn on APU wait for green light to light, then switch the engine crank to the left when rpm is 66 % switch engine crank switch to left. When rpm is at 66% turn APU and engine crank switch off.
This may not be the exact sequence in real life, but it will get your engines started.  8)

Thank you for that post, it is very clear... but ... one more question:
When I start the game, the engines are already on  ??? I figured there was a
setting somewhere in the configuration to make them be on when the game
finishes loading the free flight but I couldn't find it  :-\
How can I do it?
