	Hi, I am flying this aircrat for 1 hour now. I made 2 out of 2 succesfull engine starts. I load the aircraft with all systems off. I use my own checklist: (maybe it's not the real checklist, but it works for me) Before start checklist Battery switch on Galley switch on External power / external air (animations panel) on External power switch on External power source ext AC parallel ext Gen breakers/ gen conrols / bus tie breaker off / check all red lights off All gengine bleed on DC tr 3 All fuel systemes / fuel transfer / manifold on Engine start checklist (engine 1) Fuel control start Ground start low press Engine start ground (monitor N2) Fuel control idle Repeat engine 2, 3, 4 After start checklist External power source gen 3 Acc parallel gen 3 External power switch off External power / external air (animations panel) off Left / right airco unit on Avionics set key in FSX / on (excuse my for the 'tabs') Kind regards, Constantijn van Kooten Niekerk

	Hello folks, i have no problems with starting engines at all. 0) Set all fuel levers to cut off 1) Baterries ON 2) External Power and Air ON 3) External Power on FE Panel ON. 4) Ess. Supply to External 5) Make sure Eng Bleeds and Bleeds crossfeeds are all ON. 6) Make sure AirPacks are OFF. 7) Make sure you have fed all engines with fuel, if not - open all fuel crossfeeds. 8) Ignitors to Low Pressure 9) Starter to Ground 10) And the main trick is to move fuel lever to Start position just before 20% N2. The engine will make "bing" sound and it is up. well, i think Constantijn above has better checklist Pavel

	The Manual Part III - Normal Procedures is now available. We are sorry for delay.

	I did followup the III_manual engine starting procedures. Engines did not start. FE panel setup according the starting procedure. Only one think comes to my attention, there are no gauges showing Fuel pressure increase and fuel flown to engines. What am missing??? Sanal

	Hi Sanal. I am doing engine starts using the ENGINE START PROCEDURE from Part III - Normal Procedures manual (p23) and all four engines fire up normally. I have now successfully started all four engines on the last 6+ attempts, so I feel that the start procedures are correct. Tim Capps pointed out that moving the Engine Start Levers to START before turning the Engine Start Control Switch to GRD was the only way he could get the engines started. You might like to try this. I was doing it that way which eventually had me getting constant successful engine starts. Now I'm doing it using the Normal Procedures method and all is good. Mark

	Mark, You are correct. I managed to start all four engines. This is incredible airplane. Thanks Sanal

	That's great Sanal. This reminds me of when I bought the C-130 All-in-One Pack. It took a while to get the engine start sequence figured out. I no longer have problems with engine starts in either of them. Mark

Sanal The one time I couldn't start the engines I forgot to switch the ignition switch to low pressure.

	I believe you have to open the engine bleed air valve to get air to the start valve.
