VirtualAviator Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Shouldn't I be able to use the Run-Crank-Stop switch to shut down the engines? I've been using the Main Valve as a work-around. I seem to recall being able to use the RCS switch to shutdown before the V2.02 update. TIA Edited August 28, 2022 by VirtualGAaviator clarity Quote
tkyler Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) they should work fine. no issues here. You 1) use the command hot spot below the switches and 2) have to hold them 3-4 seconds. They don't shut down the engines immediately as the fuel valve switches do. TK Edited August 28, 2022 by tkyler Quote
VirtualAviator Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Posted August 28, 2022 Turns out I had to map keyboard shortcuts to pull the switch down to Stop. It's working. Before I end this conversation, I should verify that that's the way it's done, right? TIA, Quote
tkyler Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 yes. that is the way, in order to burn "residual fuel" in the manifold and avoid pushing unburned hydrocarbons into the air. Kind of forward looking of Garrett AirResearch way back when eh? TK Quote
