The Home of FlyInside Flight Simulator FFS FSX P3D and X-PLANE Message Board

Still a FlyInsideXP newbie - I'm having problems starting the engine of the default Cessna in X-Plane 11.05:

• Setting up everything from Cold and Dark
• Pressing the Starter using the mouse in a normal Windows window, holding it in to keep the motor running - voila, engine starts
• However, from inside the HDM, using the InteractionButton (IB), looking at the Starter and pressing the IB and keeping it pressed, the engine won't start. It triggers, but immediately ceases, as if you press and release the button continuously rather than keeping the button pressed until released.

This surely can't be the first time someone experiences this, so I suspect there is a config of some sort defining how press and hiold the IB should behave, but I haven't found it...

Please help

Hi Jens,

I still use the mouse for that reason.

So, are you saying there is no fix - currently? Anyone looking into it? Any comments from the developers?

I will try it out by myself and give you some feedback, Jens.

I talked to the devs about that once and I was being told that every airplane behaves different in terms of knobs, switches and buttons. When I remember correct X-Plane 11 will soon give those planemakers better ways to mark those knobs, switches and buttons so chances are good that we will see some improvements here.

I always have my keyboard and mouse next to me and my joystick during flying. For me it's the easiest way for controlling.
