Title: Engine startup procedure
Post by arpom on Oct 9^th, 2012 at 6:08am

I must honestly say, that CaptainSim engine start up procedure is the worst one i have ever seen comparing to many other payware planes.
It looks like CS do not take any advantage of own experience and customers feedback.
737 engines start up looks like "Saturn 5" launch sequence.
How is it possible and why this part of programming is done so badly ?
Is it really so hard to do it properly ?

I'm curious, how many "other payware planes" are the same generation of 737-200 as the CS? There are a few bugs at the moment but none of them alter the procedure.

Remember with this aircraft, after you shut down packs for engine start you then need to open the engine bleeds before engine startup.

Maybe the manuals are to hard to read..........
Obviously he does not have the new DC-9 from another company.

Maybe i have used wrong word to express what i want to say.
My meaning is that engines are starting so abruptly, suddenly from zero coming to almost full power and after short while come down to idle.
Even old jet engines did not start in this way.
i have seen movie about Caravelle with same engines fitted, and engines start up was smooth, not same as CS
