Another possibility to get to the APU section is to hit 'A' a couple of times. There is a standard viewpoint for the flight engineer. just turn the camera, and you're looking right at it, without any seats or other stuff in the way. There are a few other things that are easier to get to just with other standard viewpoints.

Could the reason it won't start be that there is a pack trip or bleed trip or overheat.  If this happens I don't think there would be any bleed air for the engine to start.  I can't get my engines to start, and I've noticed there is always a pack or bleed trip.  Does anyone know how to fix this.

Thanks,

I've also noticed that the Pack overheat lights always seem on- I thought I just had some setting wrong.  However, if you go to the Cold-N-Dark mission, they appear off, so I'm not sure what's up there.  However, it still wouldn't crank in the mission, so I don't think this is specifically the issue.

Try this fix.  Insert the following line into your 727 aircraft.cfg file under the [electrical] section.

electric_always_available = 1

With this the avionics never freeze up, and you can start the engines manually all you want.

I'm including a very small, rough, and unofficial checklist for engine startup with my review- will this help anyone?

I have the full American Airlines 727 operating manual and am able to do a manual start following the checklist everytime. With a non registered FSUIPC.

I have a full American Airlines 727 FOM as well.  I have no problem starting the engines, but I edited my .cfg file. Smiley
