I have a Jon Murchison BAe 146-200 that seems to have the engines mapped

---#3----#1----||||---#2----#4--- left to right respectively.

Is this how the real bird is configured?

International convention says 1-4 L-R.
You might need to play around with the config John, sounds like something has been entered incorrectly.

Town,

To clarify here what you mean.......

You are you saying that although the "numbering" may be L to R 1,2,3,4.................. in the real world (whatever THAT is) when the engines are started they are started in the sequence inboard left (#2), inboard right (#3), outboard left (#1)and then outboard right (#1)?

best,

Aren't inboards always started first on multis?

Yes John, I believe that is the startup sequence.

On some of the older prop airliners they could be seen taxiing round and about airport on their inboard engines only.

Hope this helps

Town,

Yeah....it did. It explains why the model was done the way it was......... so the typical "autostart" Control+E starts them in "normal" sequence.

Makes simpit setup a little problematic though. Wink
