This is why I love being a member of our group. I thought I had a decent enough Constellation, I admit it's been a while since I've flown it. But I thought I'd better check this suggestion out and lo and behold I'd somehow missed this! Now I've downloaded it and it looks superb. As a stubborn FS9 luddite I love it when something 'new' comes along, even if it's been out for years! Problem is, I can't start the engines...(Yes I've read the PDF manual). I suspect there's some sort of conflict with my Saitek yoke, oh well...Rallymodeller wrote:The new L-1649 (version 4.0) is the best of the bunch. Apparently Lufthansa are using it for training crews for their real L-1649 currently under restoration.

Hmm. Not sure why it wouldn't start. Best option is to manually control the levers at the FE station with your mouse. Engine 3 first:Swanoir wrote:This is why I love being a member of our group.

Only other thing I can think of is to make sure you have AUTOMIXURE turned OFF in the FS "Realism" menu. You could also try starting the engines at Full Rich.
