beroun Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hi, got this awesome Embraer 100 from Aeroproyeco (https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=192362). It has a great realistic panel and the aircraft handles well. But the engines starting and configuring the switches for TO is quite complex. I would like to save the flight fully configured with the engines running and ready to take off. But whenever I save the flight as such, opening it reshuffles the switches in the overhead and fuel panels, so that the stating process needs to be followed again. That is OK, but perhaps there is a way to save the flight fully configured? Thanks for any advise, Peter PS, this is a great plane for those who like to fly older aircraft. The AP is also awesome (old school). Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Typically you would have to edit the XML gauge coding to avoid this behavior. If the gauges are C++, the only option would be to replace them. Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I have the same issue with the Eaglesoft Citation X. I've tried saving a flight with the engines running and all systems on, ready for takeoff, just to sidestep the tedious startup routine; but it doesn't work, loading that save presents me with engines not running and a panel full of error lights and warning messages. It would be nice if the developers of such aircraft would, just for dolts like me, provide an "idiot switch" on the panel so I could hop in the cockpit, throw one switch, and be ready for takeoff (we could assume the copilot had already done the drudge work).

beroun Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Thanks Gents, I do not thing I will adjust the gauges, so will need a real startup process before each flight. No big deal the aircraft is worth it. "As real as it gets" so lets be it. Peter Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I actually printed out part of the Citation manual for reference, could never remember the entire procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 You might try this. Press 'Y' key to go into slew mode, Press 'Q' key to lift off vertically (slow), or Press 'F4' to lift off fast. Then press Keypad '5' key to stop climb. Press 'Y' key to go out of slew mode and you are off with full throttle. Worth a shot.

beroun Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yes, I am also using the Embraer manual to start the engines before each flight. Too much effort to remember which switch to switch and when. On subject of slewing. Tried it and the engines were running but some essential switches (fuel and hydraulics) were off and the engines shut down. So will probably stick to the manual. Peter Bendl ex.

beroun Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 :):) Yeah sure it is not. Actually this adds spice to FS and gets one closer to real flying. It is sometimes challenging to start the aircraft and flip all the switches so that the engines do not shut down. Some gauge designers put lot of IF function into the switch to make sure that the sequence is real. If not followed the engines stop or flame out. Aeroproyecto (not misspelled!) are the masters in this. Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
