It took a while to understand how to start up this bird. So I changed my rating. Nice for this price! Below you find my check-list for engine start.

Looks nice for this price, however..... Left engine stops all the time. Contact at Virtualcol suggested only using the VC. That seemed to work For setting ADF frequency one must open 2D panel and then, indeed left engine stops. Virtualcol confirmed that this issue is reported several times and they have it investigated by their programmer. Up till now no solution yet, so I can only look at the plane and not fly with it. If Virtualcol comes up with a workable solution I'll report it here, in the mean time I use another plane and suggest you do the same.
