Hi giggsy07.
This is how I leaned to do it: Quote:
This is not my work, so I will not take credit for it. I give the credit to whoever it was who did it. Sorry. But I can't remember who it was now. Mark |

No worries. I hope you get through it OK.
I copied that from "somewhere" and learned it that way. I have a much shorter way of starting it now. It follows the most important parts of the information I posted above and I can't remember exactly it right now. I have too many great Captain Sim planes to choose from for flying. I'm also sure that I've seen a KB article on starting the C-130 in Customer Support but couldn't find it earlier. It was a little better than what I posted. You might want to see if you can find it. I thought I had saved it in a document somewhere, but I didn't find that either. Mark |

With the starter (red) buttons in the VC I click and HOLD them (sometimes they lock in position so I don't need to hold them) until the engine starts. Then I turn on the Generator for that engine. and then repeat for all the engines.

I had the same problem. The FSX command "open all fuel valves" (default no key, you have to assign one) was the solution for me. Hit the key before starting the first engine.

That's a really good tutorial. Since doing that one a few times, I have never had any problems with getting the C-130 started. I guess I remembered most of what is required to do the engine start. Mark |

Hello everybody,
I saw this topic because i was looking for an answer to the same issue here. I only can start my engines with the ctrl+E function. I'm for 100% sure i do everything right (Batt ON, Start GTC,Bleed air...) because i already flew the C-130 in FS2004 and i know the procedure for starting. Now in FSX it won't work. I have FSX + Acceleration pack WIN 7 64bit OS. I also tried with "open all engine fuel valves" like i read in this thread but still nothing. Maybe someone already found a solution for this problem!?? Thank You very much!! Greetz |

I start mine almost exactly as it is shown in the YouTube video pointed out by Bernd. Works every time for me. As you can see I have Win7 Pro 64bit as well. I also have FSX + Acceleration installed. I think you might be missing something in your start-up procedure.

Battery ATM gen start from C-130H-30 RTAF
i recorded this video this Sep, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB4abD8Dh4s (just look at the procedure, do not listen thai language.) ::) ::) |

Hi Mr.toto.
Thanks for providing that for us, it was very interesting and informative. I could follow exactly what he was doing as the procedure was very similar to the way I start the Captain Sim C-130. Mark |
Title: Re: start up and electrics Post by Mr.toto on Oct 2nd, 2010 at 5:07am
My pleasure Markoz ::) ::)
btw. I'm compiled the procedure that P and FE taught me, to thai c-130 sim website, but not complete yet. http://ivap-rtaf.com/forums/showthread.php?t=342 (password to forum = RTAF) |

Hi Mr.toto
That's a great tutorial (so far). I look forward to seeing it when it is completed. Well done! Even though there is a lot of Thai writing (which it should have), you have English in there which along with the images makes it very easy to follow. :) Mark |

Thank you, Markoz
