Thanks Dave,

1)  Make sure there is fuel in the tanks (check via the property browser).
At
one time there was a bug in the propulsion code that wasn't getting the fuel
specified in the configuration file into the tanks.  I don't recall if this
was fixed prior to 0.9.3.

2a)  Add this to 737-set.xml to have engines running at startup:

 <engines>
  <engine n="0">
    <running>true</running>
  </engine>
  <engine n="1">
    <running>true</running>
  </engine>
 </engines>

2b) To start using controls, first set the cutoff switch to true, then
starter
switch to true.  When N1 is above 15% set cutoff switch to false.


Does your model worry about things like APUs, fuel selectors, ignition
switches, etc in the start sequence?  Or is this more of an accomodation to
fit into the FG data structures. If one wanted to accurately model engine
starts (aero and thermo aside) what would be the procedure as per the
dash-one.

Regards
John W.
