VH-KDK Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Well the first one lit but no matter what I tried the starboard engine would not start so we never got to Auckland. No problems as it is only freeware. NZCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikbenik Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Nice static shot from Christchurch airport. Detach the working engine and mount it above the fuselage, demount the defect starboard engine and let the engineers look at. Anyway with some effort from the single engine on top you're maybe able to take-off and reach Auckland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Great shot Martyn . That is the only issue that I find with some of the freeware. Either they work or they don't Never mind, just keep topping up your passengers drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems sometimes begin once airborne. If I get all the passengers drunk they might not realise that the plane hasn't left the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems as it is only freeware. NZCH You might try starting the nr. 2 engine first, which is the right one. The 'normal' sequence is first nr. 2 (right) and then nr. 1 (left). When implemented correctly it shouldn't make any difference, but you never know how freeware is implemented...... Just my 2 cents.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of options for the ground equipment all included, good aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Martyn, here it comes to classical education: Either you remember the movie "The flight of the Phoenix", or the saying "what does not cost something, is not worth anything." Or you just need more luck next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that someone is just testing you out on one-engine flying Martyn! Same here, when I purchase a new complex airliner, I always give the passengers loads to drink. It usually keeps them happy whilst I RTM before take off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
