Engineer Keeps starting engines

Post by frankie1029 »

Whenever I launch the aircraft, start the engines myself of have my flight engineer start it, he keeps saying "oil pressure is coming up" etc. How can I get him to just start the engines, say that once and be quiet?

Hello,

it sounds like your sim is not set as it should be according to the manual. In this case it sounds like you have auto mixture turned on.

thanks,
Lewis

I was able to fix the problem by clicking the "auto start" button. But, in case this does not work for me in the future, how do I change the auto mixture settings? I do not know how to access the settings.

If FSX then the home screen, click settings, select realism, untick the box that says "enable automixture". And the one labeled "unlimited fuel". While you have this screen open, you may want to look in the manual for your aircraft and make sure FSX is configured according to recommendations.
