roypaglia Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi all. A320 fbw development downloaded from their site. Open sim, plane all switched on and ready to fly. Switch off engines shift + ctrl + E. Turn on again ctrl + E. My problem. Engine 2 starts to spool, then n 1 and very soon 1 stops spooling, engine 2 carries on. In the overhead panel it shows GEN 1 FAULT. Any help please? I just want to turn engines on or off as described. Maybe in fbw not possible? Thanks Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketRod737 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I'm guessing that if you loaded the aircraft into the sim and had switches already on, you were not in the FBW, but the default A320. Please confirm that. When I load the FBW, everything is off, Cold & Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your case it's starting from a ramp or gate. Anyhow thanks again as now I've learned something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketRod737 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I have found that when in this state, there are many switch's that are not really in the On & running state. In your original case, just spooling and no start you might confirm APU bleed air & start switch in start, not normal.
