OK so I'm in the virtual cockpit for the 737-800. I want to start the engines like a real pilot would, not use Ctrl & E - is it possible and if so how do I do it - what buttons do I need to switch?

Thanks

Pearly

I think he wants to click all the proper buttons in the cockpit, in the preper sequence, rather than using keyboard commands.

It depends what program you have. If you have a program that has all of the correct switches, like PMDG, then you can use their documentation. I've also given you a link to a checklist that I found.

If the panel is the same as the 734 panel in fs9, the procedure will be the same. Look for the Engine Start switches in the top panel.

If it's an upgraded panel, more sophisticated, more switches, consult the Learnin Center in fsx.

I doubt you have a PMDG 738 for fsx unless your a magician in which case you wouldn't be asking these questions. Very Happy
