Thanks [right][snapback]7333[/snapback][/right] <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> Saad, The RFP747-200 is modelled very accurately on the real 747-200, there is no autostart, you have to follow the correct procedures to start the engines - this is all detailed in the comprehensive manual that comes with the RFP747-200 as three PDF (Acrobat Reader) files (over 200 pages). There is NO quick way to get this aircraft to fly without understanding the procedures as laid down in the manual. Typically it is a 3-4 hour session to make your first flight. "

"Saad, I live in Brossard about 5 minutes away from St-Hubert. I could give you a call or we could meet ( in fact 3 of us-pilots from Globe, Pierre Fortin; Serge Dufort and I- are planning to meet soon) to help you get started. But in any case, like Barry said, it would be a good thing to read the manuals before. I know it's hard and you probably whant to jump in but take my word, once you read the manuals everything will become clearer. Good luck. <!--emo&;)-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]<!--endemo-->"

"Hello Saad, I replied to your PM that you sent but I will reiterate what the guys have said above and what I said in my reply to you. The V2 AOM section 2 states on page 65: <span style='color:blue'>NOTE: FS2004 Auto Start The traditional <CRTL E> Auto Start feature has been disabled to further enhance the realism of Ready for Pushback. When an Auto Start is attempted you will see a message displayed in the FS2004 ATIS display bar: <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>Engine autostart failure-Engine will not start and run correct!</span></span> The only way to start the engines is by correctly configuring the aircraft and using the manual starters. Refer to the AOM for complete details.</span> Let us know how it goes. The start proceedure isn't long but you must follow it exactly if you want to get this aircraft off the ground. Mark"

It's the beginning of the ""Ready for Pushback for Newbies."" Start right at page 30. Make no mistake, this is a VERY complex machine. You CANNOT just hop in and go."
