Now the APU as enough RPM to provide electrical power trough its generator. So let's turn on the APU generator. This one is on the main electrical control panel, upper left corner of the electrical control panel, right console again.

With the APU generator on mostly all instruments receive electrical power and now the HSI (the compas) and the ADI (artificial horizon) should look much better.

At 85% RPM the APU supplies enough bleed air for starting the engines.

Switch the APU generator on (right console again).
=== Engine starting procedure ===
 
Once the APU has a correct rpm and the APU generator is on you should have energy for your instruments (AOA indexer lights on, same for the HSI gyrocompas).


=== Engine starting procedure ===

Currently starting the engine is very easy because only a tiny part of the technical stuff is modeled. Just push the engine operation switch forward and the engine will start (left console just forward the APU start/stop switch).

The FAN an CORE gauges are not yet showing a real stop, but you can see the ITT, PSI and Fuel flaw starting from zero as expected. When the engines are stopped, the Throttle wont have any effect on the engines.
