And an update on starting…
Managed just now to allocate the two starter buttons to the magneto switch on the Alpha. Not quite what it’s for, but it’s at least to do with engine starting…
On the Alpha, I’ve used the R switch point for ‘Set Starter 1 Hold’ - the ‘Both’ switch setting has ‘Set Starter 2 Hold’ assigned to it.
Setting the switch to ‘OFF’ before starting the sim, I now hit one of the Bravo switches to set Left Master Switch on - then rotate the magneto switch to R to start the engine. When it fires, I move the magneto switch to ‘L’ which is unbound and by doing this it releases the Left Ignition switch. Then hit another Bravo switch for ‘Set Master 2’, then switch the magneto switch on the Alpha to ‘Both’ to start the engine. When it fires, I move the magneto switch to ‘Start’ which is again unbound and simply releases the starter button.
As I said, it’s a workaround using the magneto switch in a similar way to say the Cessna 172, but have adapted it for the push button start mode of the DA62.
Works for me!!!
