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

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. 

Thanks, and apologies for the late reply!
