Title: B-52 Driver -No fuel flow
Post by Captain Baffin on Jan 28^th, 2011 at 3:17am

just purchased the B-52 driver and am having issues with this purchase as well. I am not getting any fuel flow... Also when I turn on my master avionics my taxi lights come on... I have deleted and re-installed.... I will keep trying but please do not tell me its my system because its not... I have only had problems with Captain Sim installs....... I have 4 gigs of ram and plenty of hard drive space.

Have you followed my B-52 Driver engine start post HERE. If you follow that exactly, you might get them started.

I have found that, for some strange reason, I need to pull the throttles backwards (it's like pulling them into reverse, except that it is the fuel cutoff position) using F2, return them to the throttle stop position using F1, and then moving them just a small amount forward using F3. My engines DO NOT START unless I start them that way.

Hope this helps.

Mark

Got it..............I had to delete and re-install FSX to get fsx service pack 2 because I was getting an error message saying Service pack 2 needed to be the english version which was annoying because I know I have the fsx english version, I had service pack 1 but not 2 .........so it never got installed and the only way was to get rid of everything and start over.......so sorry for the sour grapes but life is good and the 727 works too........So Captain Sim is pretty cool after all..................... :D

Ah yeah you see! ;)
We can not blame Captain Sim for everything around here.. 8-)
Sometimes it takes little bit of thinking about the problem/issue.
Its very easy to just blame it on the developers.
Glad you fixed it btw..
