Hello people!

After one or two flights I'll be a Junior Captain and step into my new MD-11 and/or my very old friend the Level-D 767, but while transitioning to bigger jets, I generated an interest for a little lighter, less automated flying. Therefore I tried the Dash 7. I downloaded the one converted for FSX and tried to start it from cold & dark. The ignition didn't work the way it should have. I'm too lazy to describe exactly what happened here (I already mailed Mr. Shupe, he had no fix for this but he also had the problem), but after turning on the ignition, I couldn't turn it off anymore. Always at least one engine was left igniting, even though all of them did start.

I was just wondering if anyone here has done something to be able to fly the thing in FSX. What just now occurred to me; I could try the FS9 version. I will go do that now and report back =D

I downloaded v3 just yesterday and had the same problem. I shut down the sim, and the next time I loaded the Dash 7, she worked fine. I'm using FS2004. I don't know what the problem was the first time.

BTW, have you gotten the ACH textures to work with v3 of the Dash 7? I haven't researched a fix at all, although I suspect that Milton and team changed the model sufficiently to exclude older repaints.
 
Hi!

The startup didn't work for me at all, did quite a few restarts. Eventually I decided that it's ok to start the engines by CTRL+E and that worked flawlessly. So I've now done two flights on it for Air-Child. Got just a little lost on both flights :D never done this kind of navigation before. I did manage to finish the flights with only a minute or two (or five) delay though, and even under IFR conditions, so I'm rather happy :)

And I didn't even know there was an Air-Child Dash 7 :p I guess there isn't one for FSX? They're discussing the topic here:

So I don't think I'll be able to say anything about the FS2004 repaint.
