Hello ;)

I've two problems with FDC and the PMDG Bae J4100.

1- During the "Before start" checklist , I must turn the Avionics masters, left and right to "Off".

In FDC, I choose "Avionics On ---> Interactive call", for the "Pre-Start" checklist, and "Avionics Off ---> Interactive call" for the "Before Start" checklist.
But I've a problem in FSX : during the "Pre-Start checklist" I set the "Avionics Master" left and right on "On" and the interactive answer is ok. During the "Before start" checklist, I set the Avionics button (left and right) on "Off" but the answer is always wrong, the captain tell me that there is a problem.


2- I've deactivated the "Before Pushback checklist" for this plane in the profile. But In FSX, I've always this checklist, the PNF say "Check list before PB" and "Before PB checklist" finished. Is there a way to deactivate this announcement ?

Thank for your help :)

1. Change the checklist item to be non-interactive because the offset used for that panel is obviously different to the default. I don't have that aircraft so can't actually test it myself.

2. I'll have to look into that one

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Thanks very much :)

But how can I Change the checklist item to be non-interactive (The free choices for "Avioncs" are interactive in FDC) ? :(

If you use the third 'Avionics' item listed although it is 'interactive' it is a 'Call Setting' rather than a 'Check setting', the later will stop the checklist if it's incorrect whereas the former will not.

Hope that helps

Ok, thanks again

I'm waiting for my second problem :)

Just a question : after the engine start, the PF say something like this : "engine is starting and stabilize", but it repeat it many times before the "start Master" button return to neutral position (it's automatic after some seconds).
Is there a way to solve this little problem ?

Hi,
with some 3rd party aircraft,when you start the engine especially in PMDG you may need to manually return the "starter" back to the ON/Neutral position rather than wait for it to return,this happens to me in PMDG's 737-600/700 NG,so thats what i do,this way you cut down on the repeating...
Hope this helps...
