 [[Image:engine-gauges.jpg|thumb|APU running, Engines gauges at stop.]]
-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).
+Now starting the engines is simple.
-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.
+Just push each engine operation switch forward and the engine will start (left console just forward the APU start/stop switch).
+Each engine has his own electrical generator, switch them both on to get the complete electrical circuit powered.
+At this time, you can stop the APU if you want. It wont be useful anymore. (This could change whith futur developement of engines failures...)
