Cold Start Help

Hi guys

 

After getting 99% of the toggles sorted out on the home sim now :D I am stuck on one.. What switch turns off all monitors etc?

I have engines off, pumps off, master battery and ignitions off, but yet the flight displays remain on. not sure what one turns them off?

Aircraft is FSX Default 737 - 800

 

Cheers

On a real 737 the Battery switch does it. FSX is in error. You probably have the avionics switched on -- try Toggle Avionics Master. There's no such switch on a real 737.

Hi Pete,

I have tried all Avionics, I can get the Autopilot display switched off but the PFD, MFDs etc remain on. I used to work on FS9 using the Toggle Avionics, I wonder if its a fault in FSX on the default.

Does FSUIPC work with all the PMDG switches?

Well, my start-up situation for my Prosim737 is cold and dark, and if I switch to the FSX default 738 it too is cold and dark. But even before that I've never failed to get a cold and dark state and I have ALWAYS started FSX (and FS9 before it) in that state.

PMDG uses custom controls. You can asign to <custom control> in FSUIPC, and give it the appropriate number computed from the NGX SDK ".h" document details.

Hi Pete, thanks for that

Just an update though, and I feel foolish lol, The master battery doesn't work if your Paused :D unpause and the master battery was shutting down the screens. Opps.always the simple things

 

Thanks
