Title: Getting Started
Post by jeffg on Dec 10th, 2010 at 9:44pm
How do I get the BUFF powered up and started as there is no checklist or procedures yet?I have loaded her up with default cessna with battery and master off and with everything on and I still have nothing in the BUFF cockpit.

B14. BATTERY SWITCH PANEL -
Turn on the Battery Switch (Shift+M)

B01. ELECTRICAL PANEL -
Turn ON the Main External Power Switch.
Turn ON the 4 Generator Switches.
Turn the Frequency And Voltmeter Selector Switch to CENTRAL TIP BUS

B07. ENG START CONTROL PANEL
Turn on the Starter Switches for the engine you want to start first, they are in pairs (1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6 and 7 & 8).

I'm working on something more substantial, but I can and did get them started that way. Also. I did pulled all engines into reverse, then to 50% before I returned them to the stop position. This was done before tuning the Stater Switch ON (I don't know if that is needed but I did it anyway).

Hi Jeff.

I have added this line: Turn the Frequency And Voltmeter Selector Switch to CENTRAL TIP BUS into the previous post. I had forgotten to include the first time. :(

The other thing I have found that I must do to start the engines, is to pull the throttle levers back into the CUTOFF position by pressing F2, then return them to stop position by pressing F1. I do this as soon as N2 reaches 20% and they start. If I don't do that, then the engines will not start.

Hope this helps.

Mark
