52niner Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Just out of curiousity, how many of you use the cheat function to start the aircraft? I can do it by flipping every switch but I normally just let the computer do it and then set it up before I lift off. Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOneSix Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 If I'm testing something, I use the quick start. When I play for fun I do it one switch at a time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L4key Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Do a poll! I'm lazy I'm afraid. I am learning the manual way though, reckon it wold feel quite rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barra733 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I use the quick start all the time, although did learn the long way. If pushed I'd probably be able to get it started the long way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decerto Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I do quick start, it's about flying for me not getting the thing going. I pretend the quick start is the ground crew doing it all for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrReynolds Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Think i'm the only flyer that really doesn't care about the start up. Not enough time in the day for it i'm afraid. Engines already running for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemises Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I find manual quicker that Auto (well...if theres ground power any way), and allways use manual as a result. ....+ I'm a 9th degree switchologist fanboy, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I allways flipping every switch, but I leave the checklists and follow a flow pattern to the panels and switches. Though, with more DCS modules available I may have to return to the checklists to remember the right procedures...

connos Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Quick start for me.

Obiwan Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 If it's not running already, manual start-up. Goes faster than auto-startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Depends on the situation for me. Normally I do it manually to get everything my way from the get-go (and because it's just more fun that way), but if I intend to go raid the fridge for beers or something I'll use auto-start to have everything running when I get back. The latter especially if I'm on a multiplayer server, since I'll usually be co-oping with other players and don't want to delay the flight unecessarily.

sobek Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 If it's not running already, manual start-up. Goes faster than auto-startup. Not if you do it correctly. Unfortunately the damage model does not incorporate frying the APU if you don't stick to the cooldown-times, same thing with oil-temps of the engines, you have to w8 for those to go beyond the first red marker before you are allowed to take the engines out of idle in the real thing.
