Yes, that was a hopefully rewarding Award, at least that was the intention behind it.

I always go for manual starts and use the Ctrl-E thing for a fast check of other systems only.
The KB thing is wrong and misleading and the check list in the manual now works for me.
As said in the other thread, I don't know why I came up with a wrong procedure first through the 1.0 and 1.1 releases but eventually I did and this sort of built a bad habit, leading to the "L. H. Bottle" warning all the time.
My judgment at least was right: a clearly user related problem and no thing for any official bug list.

The only thing remaining now is KB article 6204.
KB 6204 describes a start without external sources (it therefor needs the high pressure bottle) while the manuals go for one with them connected.
So my suggestion would be to clearly state this difference to avoid confusing people.

The ground starts without external sources are the exception when operating the 707 in my eyes, the ground supply based starts are the common thing.


In my image, there is "Low Pressure" available and as no engine is running and no external air is connected, we have to ask ourselves where this could come from.
Invisible APU?


I've kicked the No. 5 item with the engine start air pressure out of the list for now as I have to investigate a bit before I can say that this gauge is wrong.
