You’ll need to use the “shift+3” menu to order the ground crew to fire up the GPU.

ah ok thank you. that's strange though cause the promo video shows the G.P.U switch is there. I wonder why mine is blank and don't have the switch? is this a bug or do I need to update the plane or reinstall it? and in the manual on page 100 the G.P.U switch is there :?:

It was removed before release, no need to reinstall. Search the forum and you’ll find a loooong thread about the missing switch :wink:

Don't know how far into Indiana you're headed but there's a big runway at Grissom Air Reserve Base (KGUS) that would be good for practice.

i went to KFWA. i had some issues going in though. i lost engines 1 and 2 but i cheated and fixed them in flight. and the landing wasn't very good at all. over all i was not very happy with the flight at all. :(

I agree, that GPU switch will be nice to put it back in place.

well yeah!! it's in the manual for the plane and it's in the promo video. not to sound mean. but it's weird that they removed that switch when they released this thing. seems like they took out just a touch of realism with that one. i can get the gpu to work. but it took me over an hour to find a switch that's not there :lol:
