I just wanted to post a quick note to whoever may be interested in this aircraft that it works perfectly right out of the box in FSX as well. There is only one little fly in the ointment, except that I may be able to understand this better if someone familiar with the subject of these early aircraft can provide some knowledge. My FSX begins the flight w/the Re8 with the engine running and ready to fly on the ground. Once up in the air, any attempt to use certain keystrokes normally used in FSX to call up the GPS, for example, result in the aircraft's engine shutting down. Now, the starting magneto is operational in the aircraft, as is the fuel tank selector, battery switch, light switches in the cockpit, throttle movement, etc. What is the combination needed to start the engine once it stops? I can switch the fuel tanks, turn the battery on, advance the throttle and hit the starting magneto but the engine will not "fire." Does anyone know what the proper procedure for cranking this thing is?
