Hi Snake323CO.

For starting the engines, try this:

1. Turn all the fuel knobs so that all the fuel tanks are feeding ALL the engines.
2. Then pull the throttle levers all the way back (as if you were putting it into full reverse thrust).
3. Flip the first set of start switches, then press F1 and then tap F3 a couple of times just to advance the throttles a bit. The engines should start.
4. Flip the next set of start switches, but don't touch the throttle this time. The engines should start.
5. Repeat step 4 for the remaining two sets of engines.

All engines should be running now. That works for me.
