How do I start it in FSX:SE

Post by federico.bellato » Sun May 10, 2020 8:43 pm

Hi,
I've been reading various topics in this forum, and tried them all. But this plane just doesn't want to start. The xml is ok, I even tried reinstalling it with the script I found on the forums (but it says I have no FSX...). The plane works. If I shut it down and try to restart it, it works 50% of times. I see that the fuel pressure doesn't increase with the fuel pump on. I switch it off and try again and it works. What can I do?

Thanks
Federico

What happens if you select the 'current condition' option?

I shut it down, first attempt I heard the noise, but no pressure, off and on again, it worked. I tried again another couple of times and it worked at the first attempt

i really want to know if you select the current conditions option, if the sim will load running. If so, this will narrow down the possibilities

When the plane loads (let's say the flight, because I choose it from within main FSX screen) everything's fine, engine is running. Then I did what i wrote above.

Hi Osh,
so after a few attempts, it seems to be working now. I deleted the old saved-flight for cold and dark and made again the procedure, as per the .pdf in the Milviz folder. I used the Otter a few times these days, the fuel pump worked flawlessly each time. It seems I solved it

Cheers
Fede

P.S. This plane is just FANTASTIC!! I love it more than the Beaver! The sounds are superb!!
