ok that seems much better but teh other thing is how do i know when to put teh condition lever to run? for some reason none of my guages move when i push the starter buttona dn hold it ....just seems liek after maybe 10 seconds i throw my lever up and it sut starts... like a quarter of teh engine guages are cut off

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.
