Title: Engines not running but GSX tells me to shut them down
Post by: J3Solo on January 03, 2014, 03:38:36 am: Same thing happening with pushback and parking. Ask for Pushback and told to shut down engines.Even turning off all power will not get a pushback.
After landing Follow Me leads me to parking, ground crew guides me in, gives engine cut signal. After shutdown the shut down engines message pops up constantly.
Am I doing sometging wrong?
Thanks for help

Post by: virtuali on January 03, 2014, 01:39:41 pm: You will probably need to wait for the engines to spool down, they use a custom flight model, so the reaction times and parameters will be different than usual, but it should work nonetheless.

Majestic Dash 8

This has happened before to me also, if the engines are off, but GSX keeps saying they aren't, hit "Ctrl+Shift+F1" again, and it will work.

Post by: virtuali on January 03, 2014, 05:07:16 pm: Yes, CTRL+Shift+F1 should work, GSX reads the standard FSX variable for the RPM to know if an engine is running, since the Q400 has its own flight model and engine simulation which runs externally from FSX, it's likely its own engine parameters won't match the FSX ones, but the CTRL+Shift+F1 key is still working and acting on the standard FSX engine simulation, and this should made GSX happy.

Post by: J3Solo on January 26, 2014, 07:00:03 pm: GSX Still will not pushback Majestic Dash 8. Load the plane..NO engine started (Switches still off). Same GSX message telling me to stop engines. CONT+SHIFT F12 and ONT+F12 same message. Same results with F1 mentioned above (isn't that a typo?).
Not much fun not being able to use it with the plane I use the most.
Btw...All updates current as far as I can tell.

No it's NOT a typo. CTRL+Shift+F1 IS the default key to shut down fuel pumps, and this will turn off the engines in any case, and I can confirm it works with the Q400.
