The check list from Mark might work but can't be found either in the manuals or the KB, it's a Mark special and he just gained the "Senior 707 Flight Engineer Award" for this, congratulations!  :D

When the 707 was first released, quite a few of us had problems getting it started. The checklist I created was a way that, through trial and error, I came up with that was successful all the time. I don't know if there is anyone who hasn't succeeded when using it. At the time, all I wanted to do was a manual engine start. CTRL+E was not 100% successful for me anyway. I know that mine is not the way it should done, but a way that it can be done. My aim is simply to help everyone get the engines started. In truth, this method may not even be needed by anyone any more now that everything is working so well in v1.2. ;)

With the engine start from KB #6204, I feel some steps are missing. To follow it exactly leads to engine #3 not even spooling up to ignite. If I add a few items in the list I can get it to work every time. So I could change it to suit that. If it it works, it works. That's all that matters.

I take it that the "Senior 707 Flight Engineer Award" is an award you have given me. Or did I miss something. No matter, I'll accept it. ;D

In the image, it looks like there isn't any pressure at all.
