Once APU is startedAPU Generator Breaker Switch...............................Close
At the PedistalEngines 1, 2 & 3 Mixture.........................................START (Ctrl+Shift+F4)
On the OH PanelEngine 1 Starter Switch..........................................GROUND
Wait until it is running then...
Engine 2 Starter Switch..........................................GROUND
Wait until it is running then...
Engine 3 Starter Switch..........................................GROUND
Wait until it is running then...
At the Engineers StationLeft and Right A/C Packs.......................................ON
It's then up to you to configure the rest of it.
Hope this helps.

Edit: For some reason the power fails after some time. To get it back just press Ctrl+E (default for engine start) and within a few seconds you get the power back. I entered the following line in the aircraft.cfg directly under the [Electrical] electric_always_available=1
and then the power stopped failing.
