You'll have low oil pressure until your engines are started.
Make sure your APU and engine bleeds are on and packs are off.

Simple 16 steps for the Captain Sim 757 start up procedure.  Cold and Dark start.

1. Make sure all buttons are off.  In other words turn off all gauges and switches followed lastly by the Standby toggle and battery switch.

2.  Begin the start up by turning the battery switch on.

3.  Turn on STBY Power to Auto.

4.  Turn on APU Gen, Bus ties, L and R utility bus followed by the L and R Gen Cont.

5.  Turn APU (under gen drive disc) to start.  This APU toggle button will automatically switch to on.

6.  Wait for a steady run light that is at the left of the APU toggle switch.  Note that the light may dis-appear a few times before it becomes steady.

7.  After steady light, turn on the APU/Isolation valves that are located on the far right side under the duct press psi gauge.  Press the bottom 3 switches then press the single switch above the 3 bottom switches.  Note that the off light probably will remain lit along with the on light.

8.  Turn the eng start switch to 2 that is in the middle of the over head panel.

9.  Proceed down to the eng start toggle switch and turn the RIGHT engine toggle to GND.

10.  Proceed down and turn on the left and right pumps (both AFT and FWD).  Leave the fuel cross feed to off.

11.  Press the “P” Icon to display the thrusters and bottom L and R  fuel knobs.  If the engine is having trouble starting, click the right or left fuel knobs to open fuel line.

12.  Repeat steps 8, 9 and 11 for the left engine start.

13.  After engines have started turn off ALL that were turned on in step 7.

14.  Next, turn off the APU Toggle switch. (step5)

15.  Last,  turn the rest of the switches and toggles switches on.  For example,  all HYD Switches , L and R packs and so on.

16.  That’s it. Have fun.

If these steps help you or anyone else please reply.
Thank You.

Hi Tom:
First, I have to acknowledge that the C 757-200 is one of the best, if not the best pay-ware commercial planes currently available.

Second, yes, you are correct.  The engines will not start with the fuel lines closed, properly installed and not damaged.  I have written that step in assuming that the fuel lines are already open.  But if not, then of course, open them.  What is kind of special about the cs 757-200 is when the fuel lines are closed; you can hear the starters’ turning and trying to start the engines.

Also, I have written those steps for those who are new to starting the engines.  It took about 2 days for me   to get the engines to start.  Currently, I am not aware of any tutorials for the cold and dark cs 757-200 starting procedures.  I have managed to get the engines to start by following the 767 starting tutorial which was somewhat similar to the 757.

Of course, after the APU devices are shut down, there may be some switches that you may want to leave off, depending on the circumstances such as the anti-ice.
