Cant start plane in pre flight training

msfs-2024

Hi.

I was doing the training for the ppl exam in career but am stuck on the pre flight step.

I remove all items from outside the plane, get in and followed the instruction for how to start the engine but everytime I complete the procedure it resets to me stood outside the plane.

I have watched and followed youtube videos aout how to start the cessna 172 skyhawk g1000 and always get the same result.

I had exactly the same problem ,the solution is to open up the EFB with the tab button the training scenario doesn’t let you go any further by just looking at the EFB you have to physically select it,hope this works for you

This was the fix for me, just hitting Tab. Thanks

That may answer a related question for me. On Xbox, TAB to open EFB works while paused, but doesn’t work while in flight or in training. As a result, I can’t get past this point. I guess I’ll file it as a bug if it isn’t filed already

Thank you! Pulling up the flight tablet with ESC worked on my end too.

If one instinctively follows the objective list in the upper right of the screen, it says Start the Engine, but if you use the magneto as you are accustomed to do, it bypasses the instructor asking you to pull open the tablet, and kicks you back a screen. Note: the screen it kicks you back to never appears before you enter the aircraft after your pre-flight external inspection, so it isn’t apparent why you have ended up at that screen, because you had never seen it before.

Appreciate the tip greatly. db
