djfierce Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hello folks, I've noticed in the last week that for some reason I can no longer restart either my payware 757, or default FS9 aircraft using CTRL+E. Once I have done the CTRL+SHIFT+F1 to stop the engines, the only way I've found to get things to work again is to shut down FS9 and restart it. If there is a manual start switch visible on the panel that will sometimes work. I feel like the dialog box that pops up to advise "your engines are not started" used to include the keyboard shortcut to restart, if it once did it only shows the message with no instructions. Any ideas? Windows 10, FS9, with all updates installed. This is the only problem I currently have.

mrzippy Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 After doing the Ctrl+Shift+F1 (lean mixture quickly) have you tried Ctrl+Shift+F3 (enrichen mixture) before trying Ctrl+e? Gotta make sure you have a rich mixture before trying to restart, including jet engines. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

tgibson_new Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I use Ctrl Shift F4 which take the mixture to full rich immediately. Ctrl Shift F3 requires multiple presses. Also check in Options/Settings/Assignments to make sure that Ctrl-E is still assigned to the Autostart Engines command.

Don't know why I typed The F3 instead of F4. ;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assignment was the fix!! Thanks for the reminder and the help! - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
