CH53E in V4.5

[bigcav]

As an added point.
Start flight in helo ..whatever with engines running. Fine.
Switch to CH53e... helo shuts down.. engines electrics ,the lot.
Switch back to original helo or any other aircraft.. that wont start anymore either.
You have to close flightsim and re-start.
Not even reset does any good.
Weird or what.

Thanks for the advise lads.
Still no luck.
All the other aircraft work ok off auto start, so cfg. is fine.

I can get all the buttons and levers to move just fine,
but engines don't even turn over.
Fed up with it now.
Loaded my old Virtavia Sikorsky CH53A and EVERYTHING works perfectly.
The Lockheed CH53e is coming out.

Would you like to do a quick test on the CH53E autostart?

Are you using P3Dv4.5 HF1 (Client and Content)?
Is your default flight the P3D F22 at KVPS?

If you can do a video it might be possible to spot something?

So far no other pilots reporting problems starting the CH53E.

I know this is an old post, but I struggled with this for years. The info in the youtube link above does work. Who would have thought you would need to push the quickstart button three times! Just remember, the last push on the button must be done while fuel gauges are climbing. Once they are going down, it won't work. BTW, if you switch vehicles from one that is already running and hit that button fast while it is shutting down, it will start with one push.
