Phantom F-4E Pneumatic start problem

[robbiemartyn]

Hi all, After following carefully the C&D procedures, I cannot start the aircraft using Signal External Airflow from the Addons menu.
All is working on the Ready to Fly option but I prefer C&D. I'm a little frustrated having just purchased this amazing product and want to get flying.
The Tacho meters just won't move at all!
HELP PLEASE!

If you have the ADV then it takes both the signal and the start switch. I used to believe that the start switch was only for cartridges but I learned otherwise.

Thanks for your help. Still unsuccessful. This aircraft simply won't start from cold and dark. All electrics are working fine. The toggle switch is either left or right. Sometimes it remains in the center while just making the clicking sound. The Start External Airflow from the Addons menu does nothing. I'll just have to use the Ready to Fly option, regrettably for now in order to fly. Does anyone else have any more suggestions that I could try?

You have a gpu selected in the popup acm?

[robbiemartyn]

Yep! GPU selected.

[JonathanBleeker]

When you signal external airflow start, do you hear a change in sound?

[robbiemartyn]

No, no change in sound, just the GPUs going

[JonathanBleeker]

Just to double check, you are using the ADV version?

[robbiemartyn]

Yes, these are the file names
MV_F-4E_Phantom_II_ADV_vA1.180712_EADV
MV_F-4E_Phantom_II_vA1.180712_E

Finally starting form C&D!!! I decided to re-install once again and this time for some reason I was able to perform a battery and cartridge start. The External Signal Flow start worked on one engine only so had to battery start the right. Anyway, I'm a happy man now.
Many thanks JB for your help
Much appreciated.
