CH-53E Startup Procedure

Post by Cyclone1 »

On start up both CH-53 Navy and Marine engines shut down and Ctrl-E will not start the engine? Also there is no sound for the Marine CH-53. The other Helicopters work just fine. This is a clean install of P3DV4 since 4.2 crashed on my computer. I am hoping someone has a solution other than reinstalling the client and content. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

The CH-53E has a specific start up procedure. This is described in the "CH-53E Quick Start Guide.pdf" manual located in the following directory of your P3D installation (default shown for example):

%PROGRAMFILES%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\CH-53E\manual

There is also an auto-start button located on one of the 2D overhead panels. You should be able to access it by pressing Shift+3.

Hope this helps!

Thank You for the information Clifton, I will give that a try. I am still not sure what happened to the sound on the Marine helicopter?
