hey there, so this got me for a while, too. Be sure that the fuel selector valve is on L, R or both. It looks like its on by default but there's a pointed side that is switched to off. What you are describing sounds like fuel starvation.

It's just possible that you're doing what I often do – forgetting to turn the fuel selector on.

Guilty! Thanks.

[Next update...when and what?]

I'm a newbie to XP and flying - so this may be my mistake - but would it be possible, when selecting 'start on runway - engines running' or '2 mile / 10 mile approach from runway' that the engine doesn't immediately die?

[Altimeter Calibration Issue]

Version 1.0rc2

I'm having a problem synchronising the altimeter with air pressure and altitude.

Example - sitting at Yeovilton (altitude 75 feet), if I adjust to the air pressure - 1014 - it shows a negative altitude. See atached image.

My (basic) understanding is I should be able to sit on the runway and dial in the altitude and the correct air pressure should be set, or set the air pressure and it should show the right altitude.
 

The Bulldog was only downloaded a few weeks ago so I assume I have the latest software.
 

I'm a newbie to XP so it may be me but I'd appreciate some help!
best regards
Neil

Thanks, and apologies for the late reply!

[Help! Novice Pilot Seeks Help to Start Bulldog]

Hi

I'm brand new to Xplane after using the demo for a couple of months, now purchased the full XP11. I've been able to fly the standard C172 quite happily, take offs, start on 10 mile finals etc.

I've installed the Bulldog but as a newbie am striggling with some basics.

1. If I load it with engine running it cuts out immediately - I've no idea why this is happening or how to re-start her.

2. If I load on a 10 mile final approach, again the engine cuts out immediately, turns into a glider.

3. Is there an idiots guide to starting her up - for example, I can press switches (following the checklist) but when I try to press the 'start' button (with its cover on) nothing happens

4. I also got this warning (see jpeg below) - not sure if this has anything to do with it ... (I was able to enter the serial # so it is now registered)

I'd appreciate some guidance please!

Neil
