F18 Engine Start up question

[wb5okj]

I've always used the mixture control button on my Flight sim oke to kill an engine. It will kill the FA 18 also.

i have a problem starting the engines up.
I turn APU on
i push crank to left and push control + shift+ f4
do the same for the right side.

how do i turn it on with a key board command???

If you're doing a manual startup, remember to turn on the battery and generators first.

If you are looking for the keyboard alternative to the manual startup, it's the good ole CTRL + E.

sorry i meant to say without keyboard commands. i want to know how to start the engines all with just the VC and my mouse.

Ah, I see.
To do a full manual start up:

Press CTRL+SHIFT+F4
then follow the steps that Donald Donovan (wb5okj) posted earlier in this thread (with a very helpful diagram), at this link

Definitely works.

(You can also bring up the manual startup sequence in-game using the SHIFT+F10 key, but it's not quite as clear as the above instructions.)

That looks like an addon pit for Falcon 4 it could be either Aeyes pit or cockpits NL the video looks like Falcon 4. I'm not sure if its compatible with Redviper but it probably works with Open Falcon.
