Hello,

I downloaded Rick Piper's Argosy 200 and I must say it looks absolutely stunning. But I do have a problem with it. Somehow I am able to start the outer left engine (no. 1) but there it stops. Engine 2, 3 and 4 will not run. Don't ask me how I get no. 1 to start. The normal function of Ctrl - E doesn't seem to work. I flick a few switches and then it starts. Repeating this for the other engines doesn't work. I've read the manual but it doesn't make anything clearer. Anybody who can explain to me how to start the engines?

Thanks in advance,

Easy Flyer.

A cant offer an answer, but you might want to ask this over at www.cbfsim.co.uk

i had a bit of a hard time getting those engines to run as well, ctrl+e really doesn't work

i found i was only able to turn them on if i turned those little "engine relight" thinghys off....

Try using CTRL+E+1 then CTRL+E+2 etc up until #4

Thanks for the replies, guys. Moach, I will try your trick. Ozzy, thanks for the tip. Will try that also.

Try reading the manual as i asked in the download description.

it's not a long 50 page job just a guide to flying the Argosy.

I am very careful to make my stuff fun to fly & as accurate as being fun will allow.

Realism wise it's somewhere in between the default stuff and project tupolev.

Anyway, it's nice to fly when you have found the correct systems to put on.

Only minor gripe is that sometimes the engines will work (like reacting to throttle), while the oil system indicates zero on all gauges.
I had this happen when the engines stopped due to icing, and then starting with the feathering pumps off. For some reason FS manages to get the engines running (they react like they should do on the throttle)while the oil gauges indicate 0 on all scales
