I recently acquired a copy of the Wilco/FeelThere PIc 737.

Unfortunately, every time I load the aircraft, then engines shut themselves down. This happens no matter how I load the aircraft. Straight from the menu, or loading another aircraft first, then switching.

The engines also refuse to start with key commands, even the default Ctrl+E. Shutting them down doesn't do anything either.

I've already visited the site, and found absolutely no help there.

Any help please?

I don't think the PIC 737 will start with key commands (well it did'nt for me) it has to be done "by the book", so that's another one sitting on the shelf along with FSX and the PMDG 737 gathering dust 😳 , i hate programming FMC's Evil or Very Mad ! I don't know if it's the same for you but the fuel switches in my PIC were the wrong way round i.e i had to put them in the off position for them to be ON 😳 .

So the engines have to be started by flipping all the switches? *bangs head on keyboard*

I want a GOOD 737-300 that works properly and isn't a 50North creation. A friend demoed that to me, and I didn't like it much...

I think you can save panel states, though I haven't messed with it too much. You can probably save one set up to where all you need to do is hit the starters.

Well I discovered that the PIC had a config program that allowed me to bypass the engine startup. w00t!
