CTRL+E no longer restarts engines

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.

 

Thanks.

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.

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.

Thanks, Tom! Don't know why I typed The F3 instead of F4. ;)

The assignment was the fix!! Thanks for the reminder and the help!
