Control _ E cannot start play

[Higgins]

I got oil pressure L Vac R flashing in yellow

And cannot start propellers turning even if I used control E.

Control E returns a beep warning.

I cannot reset aircraft even after deselecting vehicle it after reinstalling c182 .

There is also an instance where the joystick pan switch only can pan up.
I switched joystick input between raw and direct input, and solved the pan problem.
But invented to know which one to use, direct input or raw?
Thanks for help.
I am only beginner, so I hope I can use control E to start flying.

Hello Higgins - welcome to the A2A forums.

So that we can help you out as effectively as possible, please can you let us know which host simulator platform you're using?

The Accu-Sim C182 is a pretty complex add-on, but it's also possible to bypass the realistic procedures and start the engine using Ctrl E, so the fact that you can't suggests there's an issue with the way the aircraft is set up.

Best regards,
Nick

Dear Sir:
Thank you for your prompt reply.

I am using P3D be academic.
I was able to fly it the first time after installation.

But the problem started after several sessions of p3d in a weeks time.

I think the problem occurred after I installed Active Sky.

My pc: win 10 pro
Nvidia 1080 8g
64g ram
I6 6700 3.4g

Thank you for the additional info.

Just so we can check if you're using the most up-to-date installer for your Skylane, please can you let us know which version of Prepar3D you're using, and also where you downloaded the C182 installer from, and roughly when you did this?

Best regards,
Nick

P.S. For advice on attaching images or other files to forum posts, please see the info posted here.

Dear Sir:

Apology for late response.

I am using P3D V4 Academic

I embed a Youtube Video for your checking.

Thank you for the info.

Unfortunately, when I copy that video link into a browser, YouTube says "the video is unavailable". Please can you double check the link.

The screen grab does show, but I'm afraid it doesn't help too much with resolving the issue, except that it shows the aircraft is fuelled which is of course a good start.

We really need to establish if you're using the latest version of the 182 installer. Please can you let us know if the Accu-Sim C182 Skylane shows a version number if you check its entry in the Windows "apps & features" or "uninstall or change a program" window?

Also, rather than using Ctrl E, please can you test using the "AUTO-START" option in the Shift 3 menu, just in case of any keyboard conflicts.

Thanks,
Nick

I have done the update installer
.
As for the YouTube link, I will turn it on as public for your checking.

Regards.

Thanks - I'm now able to view the video.

One thing I noticed is that the mixture control is partially pulled out. When the engine starts, you need to push this control in fully straight away.

This could explain that lack of fuel being delivered to the engine. However, it may also be worth checking in the maintenance hangar (Shift 7) that the fuel pump, fuel injection and fuel filter aren't showing in red. You need to click on the engine in the hangar to see the status of these parts.

Best regards,
Nick

Will check as suggested by you.
Thanks a lot.

No problem - please let us know how you get on.

Thanks,
Nick

P.S. I edited your post above to embed the video.
