Engine Start??

[badfinger]

I just tried starting the engine with CEM, as I always do, using F6 I. Nothing happened, and now I can't figure out why. I went to options/controls/aircraft/keys but don't see where to re-assign keys for engine start.

If I'm just having a senior moment, here, be kind and help me out.

Thanks,

general rules:
switch on fuelcock for each engine
set throttle to 10%

sometimes you have to ignite a second time.

I'm doing that. The problem is the engine won't turn over. It should at least do that, even with the fuel off. The prop doesn't move.

Maybe a key binding issue? Check the controls options to make sure that your keys didn't somehow get screwed up via some bug.
The keys for aircraft engines are in the 'aircraft' section of the key bindings. You need to switch to that from the general keys that are the first ones that pop up by default. Then it's a lot of scrolling until you find the appropriate ones. Ignition I believe is the one you want for I and Toggle Fuel Cock for the fuel bit.

I just had a idea that I can't test until I get home, tonight. If I am using the clickable cockpit, which I just switched to, do I need to use the "Start" button on the panel, rather than a key setting?

No, the "ignition" button on the dashboard does not work. "I" is the default ignition. Try that. Have a look at this webpage, it may help you out.
