Title: starting engine sequence strange?
Post by CessnaN1315efw on Nov 19^th, 2005 at 8:16pm

in the manual is says to the start teh engines this way but i knwo this is impodssible to do 2 things at once. it says hold the starters, turn on bleed air for that engine then advance the condition levers to run at a certain point which i dont know. And is there a way to see all of the engine guages on teh 2d panel?i dont liek to use teh VC cause im just not used to it and it kills my frames....how does u guys start your engines in a step by step way cause in most planes dont u have the bleed airs on before you even hit teh starters? a tutorial flight would be nice...lol

Try to do it in this order 3,4,2,1
Steps:
1. Engine Condition Lever - Run
2. Wing Isolation Valves - Ensure Normal
3. Engine Bleed Air Valve - Open
4. Starter Button - Depressed
5. Repeat steps for the remaining Engines

Have Fun :-)

The condition lever is placed to run before you start the engines. It's not like the fuel cutoff lever on Boeings or Airbuses. The fuel is automatically added during the start at 16% via a 3 speed switch. The engine gauges don't follow the start on the CS Herk like the real one. For me they rise real quick to high speed idle after holding the start button for around 10 seconds.

Cheers,

If you're not getting gauge indications on start, it sounds like you do not have the AC instrument and fuel control bus powered. �If you look below the generator switches there should be two similar switches they should be in what's known as the -1 position which is left one line straight across and the right one the line should be straight up and down. �That should give you power to all of your gauges.
