:redface: err! yes i was still getting to grips with the bae and hit 20,000ft and bing off went the engines. recovered and continued with my flights with no further problems. i know the aircraft is not freeware but the panel is rather good, once i found all the fiddly bits. aerosoft commuter package. ( well it was freeware for me as my brother gave the package to me )

Hello mate,
All the Viscounts at LHR are over 98% (or were the last time I looked) so the chances of them having an enforced failure are slimmer than a slim thing on a very slim day. My advice would be to 'bug out' of the flight (close the client) and check to see if the aircraft will start. If not.. reset the flight, this time using a default aircraft (a Cessna will do). Then go back to your Viscount and check to see if it starts. If it does.. close it down again then restart the client and take on fuel e t c and basically, run the flight.
I'm NOT saying this isn't a FlyNET failure.. just that I find it highly unlikely given the high maint figures for our aircraft

Hello Matey..
I'm standing back and trying to think what the problem might be. Having just done around 12 flights back to back in the Viscount.. there isn't a problem with either the model or the panel so the fault could be a procedural one. Is the Viscount the only aircraft you've had a problem with??

You can't not get on with the QueenI will reload the Viscount and see what happens. Never really got on with it though, perhaps it is me.
Unless you're the Controller of the BBC :shock:
Check the fuel contents; any empty tank, switch off booster pumps in that/those tanks, open inter engine cocks. V810- Magnetic indicators show OPEN, fuel pressure W/Ls out.
Fuel trimmmers must be set to at least 32% for sucessful start
Cheers
